It's to make it easier to find the gay sex spots behind the public park bathrooms at night.

Actual Go Lights in my area are only on Search and Rescue vehicles, and sometimes on returning MRAP's before they get de-milled and "sold" to local police departments. As for LED light bars and lots of KC Daylighters, they are usually on the poser vehicles.

Dumb question: can you get IR illuminator light bars like that, then drive slowly through the sticks with NODS on?

Is it the the new light bar? These Go Lights or whatever they are called. How many people actually use them? Is it a status symbol? I use mine 2 or 3 times a week. |

I think those giant KC lights from the 80's need to make a comeback. The ones with the yellow covers. Yep!!! KC Daylighters were the shit. Bolt up 6 on a Bed bar and turn the night into day...until a damn tree limb peels the fuckers right off, and you're out 600 bucks. I always went with lights on the push bar. Bambi and chunks of ice would kill them, but less often than trees.

Status symbol? You see them on work trucks around here.  Every redneck high school kid here has one. Around here is vague Mr USA. Around here it screams daddy's money. It's funny being much older now when I see the one truck in the parking lot (a very early 90's truck) dented, ball in the bed, fresh hay netting balled up under the tool box, I know that kid earned his light. Parked next to this truck will be some 2013-14 bull dogged chevy with the light, and yeti, salt life, river life,4 grand in tires, that kid did not pay for his. |

What the fuck is that? Mobile AIDS? I was pondering a single LED bar on my truck but after seeing that picture, I'm out. I do need some rear mounted light action though... I hate having to point a surefire out the window when I'm backing up in the mountain range. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
If they're on a Tundra that looks like it belongs on a showroom floor, with a salt life and yeti cooler sticker on the rear window, it's never been off road, and it's a status symbol for wannabe redneck Bros. Mostly that around here. I know a few serious off-roaders and they have less lights than the never-been offroad light machines. At the typical hard core off-road speed, you just don't need that kind of light from the top of the vehicle since you're not really able to go very fast due to terrain. Notable exceptions are the local rallye cars, which are on more predictable surfaces, they have very strong lights, but they keep them low. Lights on the bumper are more effective than roof lights for their purpose. |

One fellow was doing some midnight harvesting in my area. I didn't bother to call the game warden (what for? No one is on duty and no one could get there in time anyway).
They can be useful for legitimate reasons, like trying to spot a house address at night (if you don't have a GPS). For police vehicles, they're good to shine into the mirrors of the vehicle you're stopping. |

They fit into one of three categories:1) They honestly use them off road out in the field. 2) They have never been and don't even know how to off road - but some day hope to. 3) They are for show only, they are hipsters that use DE shavers and never ever plan on being off road, they are as fake as they come. No different then what guys do with thier ARs. Some tapco them while others. Uh nicer stuff. Some for show and some are for function . |

Speaking of light bars. The other night some fuck stick had one mounted on a Jeep coming at me on a two lane highway, passing another vehicle on a double yellow line in MY lane on a slight curve and way too close and fast for comfort. Bright as fuck and totally fucking ruined my vision. God that pissed me off to no end.
