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

 

just did mine last weekend i prefer rugged ridge 5x7s bout 110 all together and i put mine up on a stock rack and crossbar

 

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.

 

this....

plus this....

i have 4 and for the price they cant be beat. plus if you break one your not out hella cash to replace it.

 

Is that pretty much a simple unplug/plug mod? I need to add two lights to my bumper, and really like the price..

 

yep. just replacing bulb.

 

where do you guys wire the lights to? like how do you hide the wires going under the hood?

 

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.

 

x2 forgot to mention that. i use 8 gauge wire on mine. and use relays.
