    Any issues with antenna blocking light output? 4Runner has a power and my Tacoma has this:

    Worried about these larger diameter antennas causing me an issue.

    Thanks for any input!

    Refer to this thread. Smaller lights would probly be ok. Such as pods. But on mine with the cannons, well, you'll see. And if you look closely at some of the output shots I posted, you can see a slight shadow. But you can't even see it driving. I didn't even see it until I posted the pics. It's really not a factor. But for me, it looks out of place so I'm removing my antenna. And using a splitter to use the cb antenna as a radio antenna as well.

    Well, I am mounting the cannons I got from Chas @ TAP, that was my concern. I saw your post in the review thread from Chad.

    Yep. I forgot to share my other thread regarding this too. Couple closeup shots. You will probly be ok. Might be a perfect fit letting your slightly thicker antenna rest right on the light. But you might end up with a noticeable shadow with that too versus my skinny radio antenna. hard to say. Might consider relocating like me..
