Title: Roof bars----wot lights ???
Post by: wizard on September 08, 2006, 22:16:12

What light look the best on roof mounted light bars.
Small round ones, small rectangle, big round etc.
I have a dozen or so and was wondering if its best to supply them with lights or without lights.
Mrs wizard recons small round ones look better (lights !!!) and they should be wired up as well because a lot of people fit roof light bars but dont actually know how to connect them up.

any thoughts

wizard :twisted:

personal preferance ....
well see the pic

as to wiring if you can supply lights with wires etc then I think that would be an advantace maybe not all "pre-wired" but with a decent diagram

FWIW I would vote small rectangular & cheap - Ring or similar. Then when you smash one you don't have to spend an age finding a replacement, or a fortune buying it.

2 x spots centre, 2 x fogs outers.

Wired in 2 circuits (easy to combine to one but can be split if required) with a diagram showing how to wire up, and an appropriate relay/fuse/switch package so that hopefully they'll use them ;)

I reckon some folk would pay well for the convenience of this sort of setup :)

Try getting some from one of the show's.
They'll be nice and cheap there.

Thanks for the feedback.
I bought some small oval ones at one of the shows a few years ago, £7 a pair i think, but i have since given them away and cant remember where i got them from in the 1st place.

I'll supply some with lights and wiring and some without any lights at all. :shock:
Jonboy, price wise they will be around £40 -£45.without lights. I dunno how much postage will add to that, proberly another tenner.

Regards

Have you ever had any problems with the big spots on trees etc  :?:
I would think the guards go some way for protection but its going to happen sooner or later
