Thank you. Oddly enough, with that antenna in the center, I hit less crap going through drive throughs. Only one I still hit in fact are the Whataburger roofs over the ordering box. Those LED's really light things up. Just with the tail lights running, I can read signs for 200 yards in the mirrors.

I definitely like the high mount tail lights over the 3rd brake light (I'm still legal, not required to have a working 3rd). Draws attention more effectively. To anyone looking to add lights to the top, it is worth it to spend the cash on LED's. I know a lot of guys who run conventional bulbs in their headache racks and they have no where near that kind of output. If I had the time, I would seriously think about ordering some of the tail light relocation panels from LMC and then welding some tabs on them and cutting holes in them to run the same LED's (way cheaper than actual LED tail lights) but I believe a lot of that depends on state rules and what not. It would certainly be a different look though.
