Light Bar

(1/4) > >>

Robbo:
Finally got round to fitting my light bar today....some one could of warned me that the gutter is steel :cry: ...several blunt cheap drills later.....I now have holes...

Bob Ajob:
Hey Robbo,

Where d'you get the light bar?

I have a light bar in the back that looks like a roll bar, only problem is that with the height of the truck cab, when I turn on the lights, the sky (and cab) is lit up, not much road ahead...

Cheers,
Rob.

Robbo:
Hi
Actually got the bar from a 90 ! No markings as to where it was made though, its definitely proper rather than custom made, and the lights just sit above screen but not above the roof line so its brill.....have tried a mates bar and that too seemed to high, I have heard of folks attaching light screens to stop the blinding bit if on a roll bar though.

Bob Ajob:
Yeh, some sort of screen may be good.

I reckon to get the best of my lights to move them, had thought about trying to gutter mount them at the front as they give a really good flood light, but some sort of light bar may be better if I can find one cheap (or free). Or I may have to fabricate something for front gutter mounting, as I don't think I would be able to drill a large enough hole in the gutter to mount them.

I did think about mounting them on the bullbar, though want some spots for about there, the floods are much better higher up - not that I off road at night anyway...

Robbo:
I got the bar, both to look nice 8) and also to light up the branches at screen level and the holes further along the lanes - not sure yet as I haven't wired them up.

Do I wire up via a relayand aux switch via mainbeam? or via a relay on themselves? any advice greatfully recieved as not sure as to which is best/legal.  Also the lights are 55w each me thinks so what size relay do I need, and do I need to change the altinator to beef up the power?

Cheers

Robbo
