cause the bolts were to thick to cut a hole in the bar itself and thats the only spot on the roof rack where there were two bars right next to eachother, giving a gap to put the bolt through

They look great, the rack will protect lenses from low branches in the thick of it and won't really obstruct the light in application. I run multiple low cost lights, I don't get upset when I loose one to damage, lots of lights gives plenty when you need it. I also like plastic housings as I don't get rust from our winters. Are you suppling the lights with heavy wire, 10 - 12 ga will work and thru a relay? Those lites will pull 4 - 5 amps each and that is too much power to run all thru the switch. I use the heavy wire on the ground also. Nice work on your rig!

Looks fine. Throw some 100w's in em if they dont have em already and run em with 10-12g wire. Will be plenty bright! All my cheap lights run 100w's and they are brighter than my friends hid's. Thats truth.
