Looks really good.
Any whistle or noise when driving on the highway?
Do you have safari windows? do the lights bleed into the cabin at night or is the vertical angle crisp enough that there is no light into the safari windows?

Just purchased and installed the KC Pro6 light bar to the Leitner Roof Rack this past weekend.
I initially purchased the 50" (8 light) bar based on the width of the Leitner rack, but found that with the large footprint of the Leitner awning bracket, I needed to remove one of the lights so that I could position the lights in the center of the rack. After scouring the internet looking for mounting brackets, and with the help of Robert at KC Hilites - I settled on a Cali Raised mount (https://4wdcrew.com/products/cali-r...MuAJ0RWlHquIPh0YeBW_7DULIss9norEfYqkFtAGBq1ds) - which actually works perfectly on the Leitner rack with the Traklok Boltkit from Leitner. I did have to reposition the Leitner rack slightly in order to open the safari windows - the rack is now overhanging the rear of the vehicle by about an inch - not really noticeable or bothersome to me (and I'm typically OCD about this type of stuff).
I'm personally not a fan of the KC light covers, so I spray painted them with a can of matte black krylon - I think they turned out great.
The wiring was super easy - just cut off the end of the wiring loom that came with the Pro6 light bar - so that you just have the black and white wire - and then crimp on the deutsch barrel pins and plug (I used a kit + crimper from Amazon - called "JRready") and within 10 minutes it was plug and play into the front right roof outlet (I believe it's switched by EXT 2).
Final thoughts: I'm super happy with the look and absolutely grateful for the roof outlets, which made it super easy to install (even for a novice like me). I would've loved to purchase the new KC Gravity Titan vs. the Pro6, but the current draw on the Gravity Titan was more than the EXT 2 circuit (25A) would allow - so I opted for the slightly older Pro6 Lightbar which has a much lower current draw (15A total I believe). I wanted to be able to run the lightbar off of the factory overhead switch - and honestly, the look and OEM function was more important than the light output (I have yet to test it out at night, but I'm sure the Pro6 is more than bright enough for my use case).
