Damn nice looking Baja, '57. Your right though, they do look like ears - or tree limb bait. I've been thinking custom roof rack that doubles as protection. Maybe smaller lights too, if I can find some that will put out w/out suckin 'up too much current (watts?).

I love your baja too and I also agree that there is just something about that light bar that just looks off...a couple more lights would deff take away from the mouse look of it. I also like the idea of just playing with the mounting of the lights. I dont know its your baja and so far you have done a great job with it so im sure it work out in the end...

 Ya know,,,,
I was thinking about a light bar up top too,,,, until I read some of the posts here.
Think I'll put my extras down on the front bumper and leave the room for a good roof rack. Well,,,,when I get to that point any way.
Have you decided what your gonna do yet?

After reading some more on here, I just thought of another way to verbalize my thoughts.
That light bar looks "JC Whitney" mounted to a Chip Foose or Boyd Coddington-caliber creation.
How's that?

in my opinion, you should add maybe one or two more lights in the middle and throw a simple hoop over the top of them. if you atleast put one of those options on it, it might not look like mickey mouse ears.

in my opinion: the bar itself looks fine. the lights make it look weird.
they look like big floppy mickey mouse ears  betcha they're bright as hell though.
