Heres my 30" totron mounted on hood area. Im 6'8" so had same issues. Not sure about glare. My plastics are bedlinered and half windshield is covered in black vinyl.

You can see how its mounted here.

 

Looks like plenty of light from that location. I appreciate the pics.

I don't think glare would be an issue. The hood slopes away from the cab pretty good and should prevent glare.

Holy crap, I think maybe your light bar is as high as mine and mine is at the top of the windshield!

Update: finally decided to go with the more complicated install and mount the 30" Totron at the top of the windshield instead of at the bottom.

Had to make some custom pieces for the install, but the time and effort payed off to get the lightbar high enough and not obstruct my view.

Hopefully the following pics will be helpful to someone or give you an idea towards your install.

Using the Tusk flag mounts, bolted a 2"x36"x3/16" flat bar as the lightbar mounting platform.

Pure Polaris roof with the bar under it. Notice I left the flat bar a little long to the side; this will allow a spot to mount a 1/2" round bar hoop that will serve for tree branch protection over the top of the lightbar (this mod will be at a later date).

With the lightbar mounted, had to cut to slots for clearance to get the Polaris roof to fasten to the rollbar. Also, the lightbar arms/ mounts were custom made as well. Made the custom arms 1.25" longer than the stock Totron arms to keep the lightbar off the front of the Polaris roof.

This pic shows a side view and the clearance of the back of the lightbar with the roof. This pic also shows the custom arm/ mount for the light.

Finished install.

 

Nice job. I have been wondering how to handle the install on mine and this idea is great.

Do you get a lot of glare off of the windshield if it's a little dirty?

 

That is a homemade Lexan windshield. It doesn't create any glare, even with the scratches and frosted clarity. I am getting ready to order a new windshield cause I can't tolerate the amount if scratches this basic Lexan gets too easily.

I used some inexpensive, poor quality round halogen lights on the front edge of my similar roof. The slight amount of light coming out of the edges of the lights would make it nearly impossible to see at night. When I first turned on the overhead lights i had to come to a complete stop because I couldn't see past the illuminated windshield. I put some cheesy plastic reflectors around each one (boat cupholders with bottom cut out) and it made it tolerable. Didn't know if LED lights had a similar issue.
