mounting lights

[lasvegash2]

i was going to simply place a larger(fender washer) between the bracket and another one inside the rail then the nut. so basically it would be.... light/bracket/washer-bolt thru the center of crossbar(no hole needs to be drilled except thru the strip of rubberr-washer/lockwasher/nut. you wont need a longer bolt. then right next to it, drill a smaller hole so that the black plastic conduit holding the wires can go thru the rubber strip. the wires would then be ran inside the crossrail and inside the cab. just to see if it was going to work, i took off the end cap of the roof rail, peeled the rubber strip back and already mounted a light and its very sturdy. let me know what you think...

I think I understand. You're basically using two washers and a bolt as a clamp??

One that goes on the inner lips (under the rubber strip) of the cross bar and the other that goes on top of the rubber strip.

This would place the PIAA lights mounted on top of the cross bar, which for me is too high. I need mine mounted down lower.

Sounds like yet one more way to mount some lights to the cross bar though!

Post some pics when you're done...

I'm going to do it slightly differently. I'm making some approx. 1" x 2" flat steel rectangles that are tapped in the center. They'll slide into the opening, but when turned just slightly will hook under the lip and keep the lights in place. I did this with my H3 before I moved to a H2 and it worked great.

Has anyone replaced the lights in the OEM light bar with HID lights or modified it so it doesn?t suck? If you go to delta's website and see there new HID light bar, i was like this is no different really than an OEM bar, couldn?t you just changes bulbs? or do you have to change relays etc?
