Light bar

[Anthony Hernandez]

So I made the same light bar that james and everyone else made back in the day. The only difference is I changed to an eBay pos led light instead of the old blazer lights guys used to run. The lights actually have decent output, but fog up pretty dang quick. After a trip to lowes to get a bar, that was conveniently cut to the exact length I needed, and a trip to oreilys to get a wire kit. I'm gonna be honest, james made a little pic with a wiring diagram, and the kit had everything in it, minus the "plug." That is the only draw back to the kit. Also, at lowes I bought some window locks. Lmmfao! If you look they are there, I marked them with a sharpie and used a bench grinder to shave em down. I had to open the pack in the store and find long enough replacement bolts to rerun inside the bracket as well as washers to tighten down the wingnuts. I opted for stainless. Do what you want. Whatever. The lights work pretty decent for anything under 50 meters or so. When I get a chance I'll make a post of light in stages.

Tell me more about these window locks, and how they work? They were used as your mount into the roof rack channel? Got any better pics? Could be useful to some of the other guys looking for a solution.

I have several of those lil bars in my garage i want to rig up for reverse/camp lights. They do look good on there.

They are at lowes, ask for window locks and they'll take you to em. The bolts that come on em are too short, just go to the fasteners and get longer ones.like I said before in my other post, you need to grind them down to bout 15/16th tho
