my bad on the angle, i was trying to hold my groccery bags and take the picture...i didnt want to go back out, or put the bags down.
and there is no glare off the hood, at least none that has affected me. its a legit setup.

Lights look good! On a side note, where did you get the camo? Or is it a wrap... Either way I want that for mine lol!

Did you make it, or buy it that way?
What's the wiring procedure with that?
Is there relays or resistors?

Very nice.

bought the bar and lights. they include everything to wire it, and plans, but we did our own wiring. i dont really know too much of explaining wiring. i could take a picute of it under the hood. i do know that it included a relay. im still learning wiring and terms

I'd think that wrap stops a lot of the glare. On a painted hood, it'd probably be more noticable.

Looks good

You will need to have those covered on the road.

that is a question that I cma eup, and forgot to ask. do aux. lights have to be covered? I havent read any law or anything saying they have to have covers on them, nor have i been stopped by police, or anything

I believe if they are over your headlights they have to be covered on the road.

I just went and checked my instection book. It sais that all fog\driving lights must be below 42 in. so is you have any loghts higher than that I would cover them.

i was told by a constable or uniontown st. police officer (dont remember which he was) that all lights above the windshield are for off road use only and must be covered... anything below the windshield is fine..

Regardless of the he said/she said, you should probably find a way to cover them. Is it worth risking a ticket for something you KNOW may be an issue? Best to not draw attention to yourself :thumbsup:
