I'm not a big fan of light bars. They look awful to me and I can't imagine they are very aero. Is there much wind noise from it? How about legalities ... head lights are required to be a certain distance from the road. I guess the bar can be used off-roading, but on paved roads I suspect it is a violation.

Yes- light bars can only be used off road (legally). How many people drive offroad at night enough to actually need a light bar like that? My Explorer is driven offroad all the time- only a few times have I had my KC Dayliters on.

For me- I parked my Expedition inside for the first time since Christmas Eve. I've had an ongoing project in my garage that has kept it outside. But I finally cleaned it up enough and parked in there.

They're illegal on-road everywhere as far as I know. Here they have to be covered with an opaque cover at all times while on-road. However, in many rural areas (including where I live) most people just mount them behind the grille and the cops just look the other way as long as you have them wired to go on/off with the high beams only. I considered doing just that, but they're all LED now and LEDs just don't have decent throw compared to HID or halogen so I don't see a lot of practical use in them for my needs. To each his/her own though.
