Thread: Roof rail mounted light bar?

Or you can simply put a dedicated switch in place so that you can operate the lightbar independantly to you regular spotties that come on when your high beam is used without lighing up the overhead bar at the same time.
This way you can use the roof mounted bar off road (where it is most useful) without worrying about blinding other road users on gazeted roads

I have this setup on my 79 Series and it works perfectly

An alternative is to cut some cloth or whatever and cover the bar until off-road. Keeps it clean too. 👍🏻
