Bad pics. 50+ mph wind gusts and I live in town. Cops are rough, so parked and tried a few quick pics. Posting from phone, will try to caption these right.
LOW
LOW AND FOG
HIGH AND FOG
Lightbar and high
LIGHTBAR, high and fog
HIGH, shaky.. sorry
I think the last pic of my highbeams is just effed
second to last pic explains it best. the reflections you see above the road are a train, about a quarter mile out. Maybe further.
I think it's aimed a tad low, trying to decide how to shim my mount to proper a bit higher angle. I was parked right in front of that stupid bush, sorry for that. I do have some 1.5" aluminum towers I could mount it on, but I like it right on the thule bar.
with my fogs on the shoulder and the 30" led spot down the road its freaking night and day. I couldn't see the ground had I shut off my lights. Very dark.
totally drowns out my h4+harness highbeams. the road was pitch black, aside from my headlights. when you shut off the lightbar the highbeams seem dim. The last pic is highbeams but turned out whack. Sorry, but due to the wind and not knowing where to go and snap some pics - I did the best I could.

Also, I've started looking at buying a strip of neoprene and having Velcro sewed to it to wrap the light bar when it's not in use. This should help protect from gravel and flying debris as well as theft

Here's mine. Links to where I got them are in my build log. They are crazy bright and you see spots for a good 15 minutes if you look at them... 
The plan is to mount them like this. (bottom one isn't mounted yet and will sit a little higher once it eventually is).
Just testing them out.
(TruckLite LED headlights, 55w HID fogs, 100w halogens, 10" and 20" LED bars)
Just a few more pics of the 10" bar mounted.
Now all I have to do is wire them up...
