Everyone still comments AFTER the fact he said he was going to add more lights to the bar.
The only one that actually read the post, Good job!

I like it. And I actually kinda like the look with 2 lights close together. When are those other lights being thrown on ?
Any chance we could get some night pics from in the cab ? This is the first light bar I could see my truck "wearing" so I am just wanting to know a bit more.

Hey guys, well here is where I ordered it from.
http://www.hildebrandtusa.com/index.cfm?id=175
It was the first USA produced light bar that they have made, and I was on a 2 month wait to get it, but it was WELL worth the wait. I am not sure what i am wanting to do. Put the hella 500 on the inside or leave the hella blacks on the inside. what do you guys think??

Put the 500's in the center. Find a nice long flat area to adjust them. The blackmagics work great on a wide area where the 500's are like pin point spots. When I aimed my 500's I put them out just beyond the high beam line. They are just slightly wider than one lane when paired up. They aren't that bright out that far though. Where I have my blackmagics they are nearly 2 lanes wide at the high beam line each and probably 30% brighter. But that might just be the differnce in color doing that. My 500's have a yellow tint to them.

IMPACT, thanks for the input man! I am thinking about just selling the 500s and buying 2 more hella black magics. I think it will look alot better. I just hate paying so much for just lights.
I bought the black magics from http://www.teakatrucks.com/
And will probably be ordering more as well.

I've had my Defiant Light bar sitting in the closet for a month now, and want to add 4 black magics to it and finally install it.
