Spotlights? Yea or nay?

[Charlie]

I am debating about putting some 5"/6" lights behind my hood, like so:

What are your thoughts? I'm not sure if I should go for it or not...

Before anybody asks, I have checked, and they will fit there fine.

I think I am either going to do this, or an A-pillar spotlight like the cops have.

The placement isn't bad, the question is why? Why not just go with some bumper mounted offroad lights?

 

[Charlie]

I have some on my bumper now, and higher up will spread the light a little better. The picture I chopped them into is old so the bumper lights aren't there.

It makes your truck look like a cop.
Or worse, a mall security truck.

I would have to have flashing amber lights bright enough to give anybody around a spazam for that effect::

Edit: I see what you mean about looking like a cop car too...I think this is a no-no after thinking it through

I agree with my dad. Spotlights arent a bad idea, but I wouldnt put them there.

I think you would loose vision directly in front. You are going to have a really bright hood and a dark shadow in front of truck and the bright hood may mess with your nightvision.

Are you wanting these lights for looks or offroad?

I believe "Mall Security Truck" was the one that ended this idea... Classic!

Hilarious! Gotta love mall security.

Yeah, what can I say. It did.

I'm just glad you put up a picture before you actually did it, because then I would have held my comment--

Your interior on the other hand-is coming along nice

 

[muzzymaniac]

How about one on the roof - periscope style. LOL!

 

[Donner]

Well...

Maybe...

 

[Burns]

I wonder about the hood glare from the lights..

Also its a no for me too

 

[Donner]

Look at how many pair on that one! Yikes!
