So, finally got the light installed to the car. I will post later in the week some more pictures of the installation and explain it. I dont know how the parking sensors will respond to this in the center, mine arent working at the moment. If it's going to be problem i will just put the light over the license plate.
Put heres some pictures :)

Gosh, that's low down. And, I have to confess, that's not what I had mind for a "light bar".

In the UK that could only be legally used on public roads in conditions of poor visibility or on private roads.

Here in Finland we have louds of roads that are not lighted up and most of the forrest roads dont have lights neither. It also gives loads of visibility in width because usually the stock high beams are quite narrow. This can save life when moose, deer or reindeer hops to the road. These kinda lights are not used on cities or any roads that lighted. And it also goes on with the high beams.

But the lights are legal here. Your lights reference numbers can be 100 all together. You have to check your headlights reference number and my headlights have 20 ref. and the led bar has 38 ref. so mine is 78 ref. total. Of course you dont use it when you have someone infront of you or coming towards.

You should see the lights on my eldest's Ford Ranger. I saw the light approaching when he was half a mile away and the car out of sight. Can't be legal.
