Used to be the big dick people were satisfied with an air horn kit.  Apparently 
it has escalated to blinging lights.  And of course roo bars.  To mount more 
lights on.  And for when the drivers you blinded crash into you.

We install those on public safety vehicles. There is definitely a big dick 
complex with these guys and how many lights they can shove on something. This 
is the first I have heard about installing a light sensor for the LED's which 
would seem to be a great idea. I am not aware that any manufacturer has 
implemented that internally as a factory option.

I've started seeing more Semi Trucks with an LED Light bar mounted center on 
the front bumper.  I guess it make sense when you're driving across the 
Nebraska flatlands in the middle of the night, but not on the city expressway.

Luckily my F-150 is not an emergency vehicle, so I feel perfectly 
comfortable driving my vehicle with 1,000,00 candle power LED headlights 
(X 2).

of course when I turn on the fog lights, and go bambi mode, it goes way, 
way up.
