Default In front or behind the grill? just got 30" cree okledlightbar

I just received my 30" DR light bar. Ive seen a lot of guys putting them behind the grills and in front. How much light is really lost mounting it behind the grill. I like the looks of having the lights incognito. I also picked up a set of the okledlightbar quad cree flood lights. I'm debating on using them for backup lights or putting them behind the grill as well. So many options, what do you guys think. The quality seems really good and the light output and optics seem great as well. Here are some pics.

I'll try and get some night shots as well. I know there have been a few people on here wanting to see the quality and brightness of these lights. The lights I received have the new Cree lighting system with the PC glass.

Are both of them the OKLED's?


How'd you do on pricing for these?

Both are OkLED's. I got the 30" cree DR bar and 2 quad cree floods and a wire harness for $550.00 shipped to my door. The best part of the whole thing is Chris is on top of his emails. Our line of communication was top notch.
Im the first one with this generation light bar with the cree lighting and the new PC lenses.

Sub'd, I want to see the output. His pricing is hard to beat, so I'm looking seriously at him for my 30" bar

Do these still have tempered glass or did they finally go to some type of composite lens?

Has my attention, let's see the final product mounted up. How does the 30" mount? I've seen 40" rigid bars, but not a 30.

I am now ready to jump, but I want to see if they really rival RI quality and output.

Ohhh... Polycarbonate lenses!? Even more eager to see these now.

With rigid at 2x that cost or better, I hope the output is on par. That would be sweet.
