Light bar inside behind windshield

[87carl]

You might be surprised how little flashback you get. I have strobes inside the glass front and rear. The output is likely lower than yours, but with zero sheilding I still don’t have a lot coming back.

I was thinking about the police lights when I was planning how to do mine. Alot of time they hang off the visor mounts that's where I got that idea and normally they don't shield them much. I don't think glare will be to bad from what pictures I have found of people who mounted the light inside most barely shield if at all. What are green lights for?

Are those green (looks green, but colors in pics can be deceiving), and what are they for?

Yes green. At the time I was trying see if anyone would buy into the UFO thing. I had a Project Bluebook reference plus an ET inside.

now I just tell folks it’s fir when I need to get to a campsite fast. ET is still hanging out. plus the overall demeanor just encourages folks to move aside.

You turn them on while you’re driving?

That's a big negatory. Only offroad or off the ROW. Except the one time a friend rolled his Yukon XL 3X on a blind curve. I went uphill a few hundred yards and parked with them on to warn others. A game warden, deputy sheriff, and state trooper all saw what I was doing and didn't say a thing.

Lighting up the hood would bug me at night. Yours is a dark color, so may not be a big deal.

I'm hoping the shroud will act as a cut off and I can get it adjusted just past the hood

Good idea!

Just picked up a piece of 18 gauge sheet metal 65x12. And some paint. tracking info says light bar will be here tomorrow. Kinda excited to get parts I like fabrication

I have started didn't get far before got called to go get other truck from shop where it was getting alignment and inspection. Got template figured out for the mounting brackets. will cut and bend them when I get back. I don't have torches so I will kerf the bend lines so I can get tight bends then weld along them after bending. When I get them good I will start to work on the shroud ignore the spot where the marker decided to bleed extra paint lol one down side to this plan is I will have to lower rear view mirror almost a inch not a huge issue and could be avoided with a smaller light bar. i got a huge 4 row light bar

How are you going to get that mirror bracket off the glass without breaking it? I used to do auto glass and we used alcohol, lit on fire. But that was with the windshield laid flat on a bench so you could put a big pool of it on there and add more if needed. It takes a lot of heat.
