Roof Mounted Led Bar Glare

I m not a fan at all of the roof mounted light bars.

Roof mounted led bar glare.

I will post after more testing. Rather than do that i mounted it back from the windshield to let the roof shield the hood just like the old days when pickups mounted their kc lights behind the cab. I have been getting really bad glare with my 50 roof mount light bar. Install a light bar on your truck or suv for added utility and aesthetic appeal.

I have been working on a solution for this. The light bar on the roof creates a lot of glare both off the hood and off the windshield glass itself if it s dirty which is most of the time. From supplemental brake lighting to efficient work lights to classic off road high beams the range of useful applications for light bars is wider than ever and with the wide selection of designs available there s a great looking fixture for every style and budget. Also roof mounted bars can have a tendency to cause glare on full windshields.

By mounting between the roofrack legs i was also able to use the bolts that secure the legs to the actual roofrack to mount the led bar didn t need any additional bolts holes. Does anyone else have this problem. Page 3 of 8 prev 1. It is almost easier to see without the light on.

The best application for this roof mounted light bar is for a time when your truck is parked and you need to illuminate a large area. Over windshield mounted light bars put so much glare on the hood that many people paint or wrap the hood matte black. Also like you stated height becomes an issue when in the garage. It is aimed up as much as possible without sacrificing usable light.

I think they are to high and will get caught on trees and what not and get damaged. It s a black aerial but with a gloss finish and the glare off this was very annoying. Tacomas 2005 2015 started by dsmjrv jun 10 2015.
