I don't think it will work. I think the liberty roof has more of a curve to it.

I've never thought about it, but I can't imagine that it would be too difficult.

That sounds like a pretty cool idea!. I've never seen it done. It would imagine that it would take some work though.I agree with xjrev10 you would have to make custom brackets.

not to sure how nice it would look and perform. Ive seen a few libertys with them and they and they look to small to be effective. IMO look kinda like "poser" lights but it may be worth a shot to try out. If you end up doing it, take some pics while doing all the work

i think it would be cool to put like 4 kcs on top in some kind of rounded box, not good with bodywork and dont know anything about it but maybe some fiberglass would work

when i got my xj, it had some of the crappy walmart baja lights on them. i ended up just getting some hella500FF's and using the existing holes in the roof rack crossmember piece.



pics are here because i am to lazy to resize

probably not what your looking to do though. Seems as if you want to have them all enclosed in a fixture of sorts.

BTW hella500's are like 55-60 bucks at walmart, and a few bucks more for the FF version. They come in a set of 2 lights, including all mounting hardware and electrical
