Liam's top lights
by Dave C Sat Jan 02, 2010 12:35 am
Liam sorry to name a topic after you......but i really do like youre top lights...... 
........
Did you have them fitted yourself.......and if so how much.........also i have the hardtop on mine ......so just wondering where /how i could fit them......
I feel the credit card warming up......that and reversing sensors on the list must be the best part of 1k.....

Right Dave mate i've been out and took some photos 
The Nav came with the lights but to be fair theres not a lot to them. The spotlights themselves are bolted down onto a folted sheet of chequer plate. You can see from one of the photos that two brackets have been tacked to each end of the rollbar with spacers. Two bolts then secure the chequer plate with the four spots to the rollbar via the welded brackets. 
. I wired the spots up and i ran the loom down the inside of one of the tubes. To be fair Dave if you know somebody thats handy at welding aluminium and you can get your hands on a metal bender then it shouldn't be too expensive to do. Any questions don't hesitate to ask

I suppose the easy way for me is to put a roof bar across my bars on the hard top ....and then just need to sort out the wiring.....etc......afraid to say it's not a job i would try......i know my luck.......it would be a burn out.....

hey liam, are they KC's 
and the ones you need bulbs for?
if so http://www.outbackautomotive.co.uk/ have the stuff you need? maybe even an up grade to 150w and they are holding back the return to 17.5% vat.

Carts has the best ones available, the KC's are an awesome bit of kit, i'm sure carts will post some pics of his when they are lit up, they are unreal

Liam,
keep the 55w for something else (maybe a torch
) and treat yourself to what you had wattage wise otherwise you wont be happy and twice the work when you finally admit the 55w 
as not as good and not what you are use to and end up getting better bulbs. (all IMO 
)

They've got just the bulbs on outback Paul 
i will have to give these 55w ones a try now, i know for a fact they aren't going to be a patch on my previous ones
