Tyke:
Well I must say that after a bit of tweaking the roof lights are now a little better than my first impressions of them. Angled upwards somewhat higher than I would like but it has removed a fair bit of the glare from the dash. The tape on the bottoms of the reflectors does have a litle effect but not that much.

One thing noticed is they are much better when in really dark areas so they are quite usable for off road driving. Would think careful choice on the style and type of lamp will have more effect than just tweaking to make them acceptable. Even taped strips of card underneath them to reduce the downward throw of light which helps quite a bit, looks a bit silly with the little peaks sticking out from underneath though . . . a bit like a 'Chav Rover'  :lol:

Reckon the solution is to fit them to the front of a roofrack and rely on the shadow cast by the front section of the roof to get rid of the dash reflections. As they stand they are simply mounted too far forward to ever work well.

May or may not remove them, ain't made my mind up yet. Really good for dazzling the 'Homo-Doggers' down the local lane though - had one jump out of his motor with his boyfeind last night - looked proper annoyed . . . . but well blinded  :twisted:

If you (or anyone) want anything from Greenlane 4x4 let me know as they are only 5-10 minutes up the road from me, and I'm heading for the World Record Attempt at Towcester soon - so could do the Mud-Club Pacels Express run for anyone attending  to save on postage :wink:

paul and sam:
thanks for all your input i think that i will hold on for now about getting a light bar :? after getting all your replies i am not so sure that its the right way to go,i may go for a roof rack instead once again many thanks for all your inputs..
