Yeah, I hate when people drive with them on. I have my LED cubes pointed at the ground just to illuminate the road in front of me. The bar is definitely for offroad use, they're blinding!

I also have my cubes pointed down at an angle. Only use the bar off road or when raining

Those LED lights spread the illumination so far that there is no way to use them without blinding oncoming traffic. I hate those things, especially the tail dragging idiots around here as they point even more at the eyes of innocent drivers.

Most are young kids who think it's funny. They won't kill them even when you flash your brights at them. Some old school 130W Daylighters pointed a little high can give them a dose of karma.

I never use my LEDs unless there is no one on the road. As soon as I see headlights I will click them off, but off road they are on. They help so much on the trails

I want some LEDs as soon as I get my suspension working right. They'll be handy on those early morning hunting trips out in the country when I can't see anything at all.

I have a 32 inch light bar on my van as well as two 48 watt witch provides more light then is necessary but only use them on the not so traveled roads in Wyoming. Collisions with wild life do millions of dollars in damage to motorists every year in this state alone. However these lights can be used responsibly if the user just pays attention and gets them shut off for oncoming traffic. I think these LED's have saved my van many times over plus night driving is far less stressful for me. I have hand controls and my LED switch is mounted on them so it very easy to shut them off so as to never blind other drivers. It is also very easy to wire them through a relay so they go off with your dimmer switch .

Google your favorite suppler for:

They provide screws but I just couldn't do it. I've slid the into place and on occasion they will start to slip out when the window is rolled down for awhile. I plan on weatherstrip gluing them when I get a free moment.
