Front light bar!?!
Ok, before we do this. Know this, I’m looking to get a light bar that is bright and goes far. Looking at the Diode Dynamics 40 inch. What I’m would like is, a pic of what it looks like, a night pic of it off from inside the truck and then on. Thanks for the help.

You're not going to get a realistic idea of performance using camera phone pictures. Cameras are designed to normalize white balance, which will impact the perceived performance of the light bar.
With that said, I don't have a 40" Diode Dynamics, but I do have a comparable 40" curved Rigid Industries. I have pics from when i installed it but didn't bother with pictures of on/off at night due to the above mentioned challenges. I might do some testing though just to see how close I can get to capturing a realistic photo.
Let me know if you're interested.

of course it is ridiculously bright. It is $$$$$. no, wait, i missed a few... it is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. ..
I run Baja Designs lights on my motorcycles, where space is an issue, so i don't mind spending $$$ for compact bright lights. On my F250, i am going to get a 50" curved bar for the top of the front bumper. I have a ton of space and don't mind drilling two holes in the bumper to facilitate the lightbar mounts.
YMMV.

had some good experience with diode dynamics, but as others said, baja designs is where it's at

Thanks for the interest in our 40" Stages Series LED light bar. Where are you planning to mount or want to mount the light bar on your truck? (We include universal mounting brackets with all LED light bars)
Anyhow, we recommend our Stage Series LED light bars over other options due to our strict and focused beam patterns designed for optical lighting performance thanks to our patent-pending TIR optics.
