    For the front I would just mount the Dually D2’s on the SS bars above the plastic end cap at the front of the factory roof rail.


    I had always thought about “running” lights on the top of my XK, and had considered different options. Now as an experiment I thought I might try a light that is normally found on the rear of pickup truck beds. I got one that had running, brake, backup and sequential turn signals. The sequential lights starts from the center and progresses to the outer end in the direction you are turning.

    Not sure if I would like it or not but I knew I could always easily remove it later.








    So now I used a piece of aluminum angle iron and JB welded the light to it.
    Left it clamped over night.










    I then coated it all with bed liner to better match the rack and help it last for the next 20 + years !

    I also had to make new mounts for my emergency lights .














    The rear lights mounted on the rear 1/3 of the rack.

    Front driving light mount.









    Oh ya.. now just a couple of wires and I’m done. Did I say couple?
