P500 Light bar location

[PJ1]

Hi folks, I'm new here and I love this place. I did a search for light bar location and see lots of posts for the 700 and 1000's, but not much on the 500.
My thought is a curved 32 inch mounted under the leading edge of the oem roof for branch protection. What do y'all think?

It would look cool. My only concerns would be that it might end up in your sight line or make the windshield more involved to remove or install.

Thanks for the input trigger. I'm looking at slim single row to not foul my sight line. More measuring needed. I've seen 'em at about 1.5 to 1.75 inches thick.
I'm not sure if I would ever install a windshield but possibly.

Got a 32" curved light bar. 1.5" wide.
Mounted under roof. With Sasquatch switch I love this thing and no sight line issues for me. 5'8". It weighs 4 pounds.
I will try to post a pic when I can get some time off.

The possibilities are endless, post up some pics when you get it done.

I just put a small light bar in between the brush guard to light up the trail in front of me.

Mounted mine on top bar of Strong-Made bumper - works great.
Personally, I like light below my field of vision especially if in rain, snow, mist or dust.

True statement 👍🏼

Here's a shot of mine

I made my own roof and mounted mine under it. So far it has been well protected. The second pic shows the kind of tree branch damage I deal with. It’s 10ga Aluminum, and I use the light a lot plowing snow in the wintertime.

What type of clamps did you use to hold the light bar onto the tubing? Also how does your light bar do when it gets wet?

I have a dinky little 22" light bar mounted to front end. Will end up re-mounting it onto strongmade bumper bar once I get one of those.
Currently using this clamp set to hold it on: GS Power Tube Clamp Bracket (Choice 1/1.25/1.75/2 inch) Mount LED Light bar Radio Antenna Safety Flag on Rack Roll Cage Bumper Bull Bar on Boat Bike Truck Motorcycle ATV UTV (2 pc)

Could you tell me what brand of mirrors you have. Do they stay in place. Looking for better mirrors.

Did have this light just on front bar, but a friend gave this bumper. So I put it on it. It makes a big difference.

Alinment would be easy right now with the center lines still on the tires?
