Nice. Be cool to see a night shot from driver seat- one with just the headlamps, then the other with all your lumens

Be sure there will be a night shot soon

Next on the list are brackets to mount the lightbar high at the top of the windscreen.

I can't even think of a reason why I might use extra lights, but man these are intriguing me.

Why do you have/want more light? What's your purpose?

They make the light bar with the curve built to match the van bumper? And the windshield?

How many amps does it draw? Can you "feel" it loading the engine?

Are they so bright that you can't safely use them on the highway?

Living in the country side with a lot of deer, wild boars etc., so the more light the safer while night driving. Some may also call me a light-junkie

The curve fitting perfectly is more a coincident than planned. I used to have a 40" straight lightbar fitted to the bumper of my 2nd gen. RAM and it always bugged me that it wouldn't follow the line of the front.
This one draws 300W, so that's 25A. The LED headlights and HID aux high beams draw significant less than the stock halogens, so all in all I shouldn't be much over the draw of stock lights with a pair of high power halogen aux lights.
Using them on the highway is safe, as long as you sit on the dark end of the LEDs

and not in oncomming traffic.

The video doesn't do justice, but you'll get the image.
First is TruckLite LED low beams, next is TruckLite LED high beams plus Hella Micro Xenon HID aux. spotties, then the 50" lightbar
