Spent this weekend fitting up a new light bar (among other things), managed to get my 4 LF240's up there. The Middle 2 are HID's with clear covers, the outside two are Blitz with combo covers.

People say with lights on the roof it shines on the bonnet, I can say I can't see it being a problem.

Here are some pics.

nice light setup, but i think the dual battery installation could be a little better.

if there does turn out to be to much glare on ya bonnet, just paint the top of the bonnet in matt black.
Worked with the sun glare on the bonnet of my Kenworth. Also works with headlight glare on the back of alloy bullbars. But you dont have to worry bout that.;)

It's a custom made light bar made by one of the members of this forum. I don't know if I am allowed to say who.

Shed :wub:

I'm in a typical new house in a new estate, small block with a garage big enough to fit 2 Daewoos :mad:. No shed to speak of :(

But back on topic - how are you running the wiring from the roof bar & I too would appreciate a close up look of the bar and mounting points. Quite envious of those XGTs. Happy with them?

I don't have any XGT's, the middle two are HID's. They are fantastic.

I will get some more shots today of the mounts etc.

Just running the wires up the cover on the A pilar, am yet to work out where I will go from there to the roof.

I had some rear monted lights basically hanging off the roof gutter, so much glare in the rear windscreen that they were useless. So depending on how far forward they are you may also have some issues with glare through your windscreen.

On my disco the roof light wires run up between the snorkel and A piller then arcoss to the factory roof rack.

not sure how to post pics to show yo'all
