4 New Hella 500's

I have a 98 4Runner and I just got 4 new Hella 500's and can't decide whether or not to put all 4 on top of my roof rack or 2 on the rack and 2 on the bumper. What do ya'll think?

All they do on the roof is blind you driving and get ripped off by trees in the woods.

I really like mine on the bumper the light in uninterupted leaving the lights and by far has the best out put.. Where the lights on the roof the beam is cut in half becuase of the roof and the hood. If that makes sense. My budy has 4 of the same lights on his roof and mine are most likley 2 as bright because of the intruption of light from the roof and the hood he gets.

the beam of light those produce is like a cone
_ =light, /\= light out put, |=roof

_
/\ = light coming of front bumper

_
/|= as you can see half the light is lost by the roof


hope you understand and sorry for the over complicated responce
