Looks good.

A little high IMO but I would assume it is because the brakets are premade?

That's what I was planning to do if I ever got a sport bar, probably a single row 40in across.


Any wind noise with those?

 

Height is the same as production. Looks higher because light body isn't as tall with more air gap below. Lowering the light would look sleeker, but would limit the effectiveness to cast light forward and down.

I was worried about wind noise. I don't notice any difference from the driver seat, even with the back window open.

 

Hi,
Nice job. I think they look great. I have the factory lights and think the heavier style and boxier light is somewhat more fitting to the aggressive style of the truck, but I do like this option.

Also, it looks like a nice installation. I added a light to the bar and was surprised at how much of a problem it was to internally route the power line through the bars, down the truck, and to the hot line.

Good work!!!

 

It does look good. I really like the black bar with your truck. It appears that the bar has a slight curve to it. Is that correct or is it just the picture? Makes me wonder if a solid light bar (one piece) would work up there??
Also, what is the lumen power on the lights you installed?
Thanks!

 

I have a solid light bar it works just fine & I like the look of it

 

The lights follow the curvature of the light bar. The light bar follows the curvature of the roof line. The gap between the light and the roof is constant. I made a new top plate which is wider than the original to space the lights further apart. A straight light bar would look odd up top. The varying gaps between the light bar and the roof would IMHO appear that it was cobbled together.

 

Thanks much! One more question if you don't mind. It looks like the light bar mounts to the top of the bed rails and that the "rearward leg" actual goes into the bed, presumably under the rail for mounting. If so, this would prevent the use of a "hard" style bed cover, like a trifold or roller style??
Just trying to get some plans together before I melt the plastic!
All help is greatly appreciated!!!

 

The light bar is not compatible with many tonneau covers. It sits on top of the rail. This leaves the floor space of the bed open. There are a few soft roll up styles that fit between the bed rails that can be modified to work. Hard trifold won't stow behind the cab with the light bar.

 

There are a couple of threads on how to put a roll up tonneau with the light bar.

How's the light output at night? That's a pretty good position of the light bars but curious on the focus on the road.

 

I have the light bar but opted out of the OEM lights due to cost. This provided an opportunity to personalize my vehicle making it my own.

I think the lower profile single row lights provides a sleeker appearance. The brackets tie in with some styling cues from the light bar providing a more integrated look.

Curious for feedback on what you guys think.

I really like the brackets. Did you make or buy them. I opted not to pay 1.6k$ for the baha design lights too. Way too many great options out there for less $.
