Thread: Light bar mounted between (to) roof rails?

Anti-theft hardware?

Here are the pictures as promised for my mounting:

This was my First idea, like a Standard RoofMount, but the tube in the middle become replaced by the LightBar:





Not welded now but i think it gives an idea.

This one is pretty far away from the roof, i want the LightBar more narrow at the Roof, so i made a second draft, also simpler and without welding:






Difference between straight and curved LED Bars: a LED has always a fixes angel of Light-Output. But lots of LED's with lots overlap don't multiply the Lumens. When you spread the angel of the overall-Output you will see more.

And i don't want LED-Lights as Driving-Lights or Full-Beams. I want them for slow Offroading and Worklights.

I hope it is understandable what i try to tell you in my poor Kraut-English..

Perfectly understandable Thanks for posting. Would you keep us up to date with your progress? Very interested to see your finished product.

this may be an option for those wanting to fit to the front ( theif proof unless they get the bonnet open) , this combo works very well.disco 009.jpg

That looks as though it replaces the top bar of the grille. Can you post up a larger photo? (you linked to a thumbnail, perhaps by accident)

sorry , won't let me upload again . it is as you say in the top bar of the grill, just cut to size , has been on the car for over a year now with no problems.

I think I will stick to my two Ciebe Super Oscars. both pencil beams. They seem to get out front pretty well.

Interesting. Does that cover the installation, or is it just for when the light is lit? I want to fit one to my roof rack, to be used off road only.
