Default home made light bar?

I'm just wondering on if this will make my truck goofy looking. I would like more light but don't have a grill guard so the only other place to put them is on top. I have 1994 s-10 blazer first generation and i was wondering if i put four of these

on top do you think it will look kinda goofy?

i looked at light bars and I cannot afford them[&o]

Won't look goofy IMO, but how are you going to mount them?

drill some holes in aluminum and mount them and some hefty magnets to it.

psh look goofy??? no way they fit the first gen perfectly. i think round lights on a first gen r goofy. i was lookin at some rectangular lights for my first gen. there was a guy on here (dont rem who) who mounted his lights to the cross bar on the roof rack and slide it all the way forward

That's why I put an extra roof rail to the front mounting of the roof rack.It moves the lights up another foot nearer the front. I'll be doing the wiring this weekend & will post pics with them working.
