Light bar
Thinking about using my stock roof rack to make a light bar. Suggestions for lights? I want them bright, but also cheap.

Mine are mounted to the factory roof rack. It can be a little wobbley but if you stiffen the ends of rack it should be good.

I tried to use the cheap lights and just upgrade the bulbs...
It melted wires and shorted out causing the fuse to blow. I don't recommend this unless you upgrade the wires or they will get too hot and melt the rubber.
