Default Trying new light set-up - Let me know what you think

Hey guys, Im trying a new light set-up and am undecided if I like it. The look is pretty radical, and definately makes a statement. So what do you think, too much, or looks good? I havent wired it up yet, so im truly looking for honest opinions.

I'm thinking it would bug the crap out of me looking at them through the windshield. How much glare do you think you'd get off the hood from them?

I think it looks pretty sweet. But how's it look behind the steering wheel? That's what 1st came to my mind

I really like the look you achieved. The shape of the lights compliment the squareness of the rig and while it may compromise the view I'm sure it's livable. I would like this on mine actually - let us know what you did in detail, please

I would think it would create too much glare. If you dont plan on using them then go right ahead.

Yeah, you definately see them from the drivers seat. You do look over them, but looking down the hood directly in front of the jeep, the view is obstructed. This is definately liveable though. I might wire them up tomorrow to see what the glare would be like. Worst case scenerio, I will mount on the bumper until I get a winch. The other thing I could do would be to go with a smaller light.

Mounted on the bumper would be my choice.

I like the look. Definitely a different look which is always good. I'd say if you could eliminate hood glare you should keep them.

I like the idea but I think you should go with a smaller round light I think it would look alot better
