Lightbar?

Assuming that I buy a decent quality bar of an appropriate size to fit neatly between the roof rails, am i going to have a significant increase in wind noise with it up there or would it be better off in the bumper? Also what is a reputable brand to look for?

Alternatively i was thinking about replacing the fogs with led driving lamps?

The LED lights in the bumper/foglamp position look very smart but will put out no ware near the light output of a light bar.
It depends what your are after, looking cool or maximum light.

My 20" light bar puts out 10500 lumen or roughly the same as 7 standard headlamps. :evil:

My 2 penneth worth:

Lights below your eyeline cast visible shadows behind bumps and undulations in the terrain, making rough ground easy to spot. If the lights are above your eyeline you cannot see any shadows and rough ground is much harder to read. For driving off-road at any sort of speed you want the lights on the bumper (e.g. where the headlights and driving lights are). For lighting up big areas you aren't necessarily driving quickly through (checking sheep at night?) you want the lights as high as possible e.g. on the roof.

I'm with Busta really.......how about a lightbar in round acrylic tube on the roof?

I have some 8" HID spotlights that'd look pretty up there.....

I think....only think mindst....an led light bar can be fitted as a pop up affair at the rear of the bonnet without a bodylift.

Well I am looking to go round the north coast 500 east to west one weekend in October which is a fairly serious drive and at that time of year means plenty of night driving on nasty little lumpy back roads. So bumper or fog replacement . Cheers all
