I like it too .. though a lot you see have smaller rectangular lights on ?

Wish I could fit one, but being white I think the dazzle would be too much !

smaller ones in my view would look better

if you had a roof rack or something up there plus those lights they would blend in a little better, but they do look a little large up there on their own.

 :D

The provlem with the rectangular jobbies sold on the roof bars is that they are fog lights. They give too wide a pattern and simply illuminate the dash and bonnet....which makes em crap imho. I will post a piccy of mine i changed to 2 small round at the sides with 2 6inch ring round driving lights in the middle.....stick with them looks good to me.

When I did mine I put 4 Hella FF50's up there.  Nice small lamps that kick out a surprising amount of light.
Since then I had another 3 tabs added so now I'm up to 7 FF50's.  You can see me coming now . . .  :wink:

Just take your motor down a few tight greenlanes to see if you think your lights are too big  :wink:

they dont stick up above the roof line of the raised part at the back so they may be ok?

When i used to run 6" spots on the top they always used to get knocked backwards/skywards.
Great for iluminating trees but rubbish for the track ahead.
Could you attach the little lights to the bottom of the bar?
Have a look here (http://members.mud-club.com/profiles/Jake/gallery/Big%20Blue/0/307090-1109789727./TG9zdCBmcm9udCBzcG90cyBmb3IgUmFuZ2llIGJ1bGwgYmFyICsgQmVhY29ucw==) for my 1st design of lights.
I attached a bar on the roof rails.
Nice and strong but the lights took a beating!!
 :wink:
