Try it with a bit of dust on the windshield. I suspect glare is going to be an issue.

Yeah usually is and wind noise that's the only real way to throw light down the hill

That's a good point. Otherwise I like it.

Default New Items!!

I added two things. Once is a bar that is a turn signal signal and ground light for when you exit. And another is just a cool feature

Agree with HeyYou, I've seen people mounting them further back on the roof so it basically doesn't light up the hood. I did a quick youtube search, this looks like a good example... I just fast forwarded to the end effect in the third video, looks pretty good. Thinking build yourself a headache rack with a top platform that cantilevers over the bed and cab - good place to put your huge spare tire. I'm not a fan of the bars down the bed sides myself, but others probably find it useful.

series starting video, look at where he is positioning the bar..

Pictures: first one is high beams with bar, second one is just the high beams...

Default Adding Some More Accent Pieces

Here is my new light up door sill:

Is the Ram's head on the door sill plate something you added as well?

Love the puddle lights. That's trick.
