Default New LED lightbar for car

My Grandson surprised me with a 20" lightbar for my Corvette for Christmas. He even installed them when I was at work.

I like it. The instructions that came with mine say to install it on the hood scoop, closest to the windshield. But I guess where you did it is cool. The nice thing about these light bars is that you don't have to fuse them because the LEDs don't draw much.
