I have concerns about increasing wind noise at high speeds... and since I live in Germany, I drive at high speeds quite a lot on the Autobahn.

Also... after seeing them in person, I thought that they could look a little better. My advice is to not only check them on pictures, but try to see them in person before you decide to order them. Some may like the lot, some not... and some simply cannot decide (i.e. me). http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

My biggest problem with the roof mounted lights is having some guy I don't know drill some holes in my roof. I would expect some added wind noise.
It's too back they didn't design a set that could be attached with some type of tape, and all the wiring goes under a track and then down the A-Pillar. That I could live with.

The off-road lights are not bright enough and unless mounted farther back may end up shining on my white hood...not good at night.
Seeing as the Hummer is pretty high, if I need high-power night lights, I'll install some thin KC's with 130 watt bulbs on the brush guard.

yea i thought the off road lights might be a little underpowered

The ideal solution would have been a "snap-on" system, which you could either use for the marker lights or the offroad-lights.

The way the outer plastic rooflines are attached even visually suggests that such a system might have been originally planned for the H3. In fact, visually, the bars with the lights (either marker or offroad) integrate excellently into the outer "plastic frame".
