Offroad lights on roof racks.

[Matt]

Thanks for all the replies guys! These setups are looking great!

I'm planning 4 on the front, at least one or two square lights on each side and then two square lights on the back. I want the side & back lights to somewhat blend in to the rack. Going to do a 3 switch setup with that as well.

I really like those Baja Design lights. I'll probably run 4 of the 8" Soltek 100w driving lights up front.. Or put two of the 100w spot lights on the ends and the driving lights in the middle (hmmm, then run them on 2 switches... that might work best)

Hmmm, that sounds like a good set up to me. I have the halogens, are you going with those or the HID's .......

[Matt]

Definitely the Halogens. The HID's are waaaaaaaaay too expensive to even blink at.

Hey right now I have 6 lights 4 up top an 2 on my bumper but they are the garbage pilot lights from autozone. Eventually I plan on getting rid of the roof rack and I am not sure what i'll do up there so I need to find 4 for the bumper. I like the look of the 2 yellow and 2 clear. My question is whether anyone has used the hella black magic and how good they are. I want something extremely bright but price is definitely an issue. So just looking for recommendations.

Brandon, post up some pics of your rack with the lights... thats what this thread is all about

Why are you taking the roof rack off?

As far as the Hella Black Magic lights; i ran them years ago and was not impressed with their light output. If you want extremely bright, i'd look at a different model. I think those are a good niche light for people going more for looks than performance (they do look pretty good)

Ill try to get some today but its a homemade roof rack so its nothing nice at all which is one reason I wasnt to get rid of it and also because i'm having a tire/jerry can/hi-lift carrier made to go into the hitch and ill have no reason for the roof rack. If I do decide to keep lights up there ill just attach them to the cross bars. Were the black magic you tried the 500 or the rallye 1000? You dont happen to still have them and possibly want to sell do you?

[Matt]

They were the 500s and loooooong gone.

That doesn't look as bad as you led on. I think you came up with a great idea. My only thought is maybe a little lower profile. Other than that I'd say pretty cool.

How did all you guys run your wiring through?
