It's really hard to show how bright these are. With photoshop any light bar and be made to look like the sun. We don't have any road pictures because that is not practical use. If those before and after pictures aren't very good pictures of what they can light up I don't know what else I can do.

Dude, do you drive looking at your lights? How about pictures from the driver's seat.

With photoshop I put a light bar on that not there. Take the lights and shine them in a dark area. All of them seperatly so it's easy to compare one against the other. Really not that difficult and well give a good idea how the work/light up the area.

This thread was made to "see" LED light bars on Cherokees. The OP commented on them complimenting the lines of the Cherokee. Not a single person has posted this specifically. Montucky is the ONLY one to post any pictures at all yet so in my eyes the debates about brands, prices and light output are secondary topics to come after someone actually posts a damn picture. Montucky, you've been the most helpful one so far, don't let these needy bastards bother you. Show us your setup in the day light when you get a chance, I want to see how you mounted it on your Thule. A light output picture would be nice, too, but again is not what the thread is about. These people need to chill, still excited to see your build, man.

Correction, mehoff has also contributed.

What do you consider practical use then? Lighting up the local high school football game? If I buy an LED bar, it's because I want to see what is in front of me ON THE ROAD!

Returning my led bar to bump it up to a 30" single row bar. He's giving me a KILLER deal, so unbelievable I won't mention it. Stay tuned for pics. Thanks for having my back, just trying to contribute! I have a combo beam now, before I return I'll try to get pics. That 30 inch bar is all spotlights
