Nice lift blocks on a steering axle.

 

That would be cool. Seen it done with regular fog lights

Hard to see but I like the brackets

How about a different kind of light bar? 'got it off a scrapped home-built, Dentside wrecker for like $40 but it was missing its beacons. Got two off of Ebay for $25... not sure what rig I'm gonna put it on.

Apologies for the sound effects but it was the first fire-up!

Light bars, as discussed in this thread, are technically required to be covered while on public streets... a least in CA.

CA VC 24411.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a vehicle may be
equipped with not more than eight lamps for use as headlamps while
the vehicle is operated or driven off the highway. The lamps shall be
mounted at a height of not less than 16 inches from the ground, or
more than 12 inches above the top of the passenger compartment, at
any place between the front of the vehicle and a line lying on a
point 40 inches to the rear of the seat occupied by the driver, shall
be wired independently of all other lighting circuits, and, whenever
the vehicle is operated or driven upon a highway, shall be covered
or hooded with an opaque hood or cover, and turned off.

 

two things i dont like about led light bars the cost and very easily damaged. i just run tractor lights for my work truck. there are some really nice lights out there but the price keeps me at bay. two years ago during winter time was colder than hell at night HAD to get into some trees to get to something and i broke 3 of the clearance lights off the roof of my truck but some how the daylighters on top of the headache rack of the flatbed survived with out a scratch.
