I have heard about those issues as well. I plan on retrofitting some better led lights in there, light bar, pods, whatever lol that should solve the glare issue, atleast I've heard that a couple of people who retrofitted them didnt have the glare.I know you already got them but Ill give you my experience, esp since once you put holes in your roof you're pretty much committed!!!
I have it on my 06 and honestly its useless. It glares alot on the windshield and the hood. Since I have a white truck, the hood really glows and ends up ruining my night vision (my eyes end up adapting to the light reflecting back from the hood I cant see in the dark anymore)
I actually can see better without it than with it! Whats worse is if you have some dust on the windshield, those glow too. I end up using the windshield wipers to clean it but since I drive in the desert its hopeless!
Finally, they make alot of wind noise when going above 70.
The problem with those lights is that the mouting location and the flood beam. If they were 2" forward or backword the windshield glare would be gone. The hood can be solved by adding some black vinyl or black magnetic sheets, or even adding a stripe of window tinting to the bottom part of the windshield (enough to block what you see from the hood)
As far as wind noise goes, its jot my daily so luckily I wont have to deal too much with that Haha. Itll probably be a while before they actually get mounted.
Thank you though!
