Hi There !
Received some roofbars today (for christmas) !
I've decided not to go for the 'light pod approach' as, like i've been told to consider, once they're on, they're on.So the roofbars are securely in place.. and i'm now looking for some independant lamps to mount across the bars.
I'm thinkin 'angel eyes'.
Can anybody suggest some PROS and CONS..?


Hope you all had a great Christmas!! - and all the best for 2011. :cheer:
Thankyou !

Gone for some simple, tasteful rectangular halogen jobs.
No worries. :)

I looked at the light pods and even considered getting a landy lightbar and chopping to fit.
I got some roof bars for £14 on ebay by chance - just looked at the right time.
I've put 4x55w spots mounted with exhaust clamps and a metal bracket, i tried using the front of the clamp but the spotlight brackets themselves are poor quality and i couldn't get a good tight fit. They sit just right now and far enough forward that i can put small loads on the roof still. All i've got left to do is to trim off some of the thread on the clamps and paint them so they're not so obvious and wire them up.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

I have 4x brackets that I made up that will allow you to fix lamps to a roof bar .. free to a good home if they can be of use to anyone...
