getting some glare on the hood is basically a side effect from running lights on the roof... you cant really eliminate it but what you can do for a basic strategy... keep the lights as low to your roof as you can and set the bar back or move it forward enough until you dont mind the glare anymore....

if you can.. mounting them almost directly above your head or a little forward tends to be a good spot... (depending on your lights) then the shine down is out towards your header panel and not right on top of your hood

You need to move them farther back. I have run into this before. I moved them back and all was good!

Land rovers use flat black vinyl on the hood that reduces glare from both the sun and the roof lights. I have them installed on mine.
