I've seen a number of Mahindra Thars on the road here in India with lights on the roof in pods rather than light bars. I haven't seen these in the US so maybe they're not a thing in the US (yet?) but they seem to be getting traction here in India. I didn't get a chance to snap any photos of them on the road, so this photo is from a web site of one of the companies that sell them here (https://automods.in/product/dual-led-bars-with-roof-mounting-for-new-mahindra-thar-2020-onwards/). There are a number of companies here in India that offer similar ones. I wonder if these will catch on in the US? Maybe they'd create less wind noise than a light bar? Of course they'd work better on a TJ/YJ/CJ hardtop that doesn't have Freedom panels, but they could be mounted on Freedom panels with plugs to disconnect when necessary.
