tube light brackets?

[adidaswear]

I have an extra set of 6" piaa lights and im trying to find some brackets so i could mount them on the tube below the license plate on my brushgaurd.....any suggestions on where to find them?

 

[jimbo74]

can you make some?

 

[adidaswear]

possibly...just trying to save time and headaches really

 

[adidaswear]

also i wonder if i could wire them to the same switch without having to run more wire....just wire them together

 

[jimbo74]

then they will be splitting the power and that may reduce light output.....

 

[adidaswear]

yep your right on that....

 

[dman726749]

if you dont wanna mess with wiring them or finding a bracket, you could just give them to me

 

[adidaswear]

u know i would but they would just look to sweet under the other set

 

[dman726749]

if you have a roof rack, put thoes bad boys up there, that awalys looks sweet

 

[adidaswear]

yeah then i would have to buy a custom rack and another set of lights

 

[dman726749]

na people put them on the factory cross bars all the time

 

[adidaswear]

yeah but i think that would be to much weight on the plastic roof rack....imo

Oh, so you were asking me...

I've actually had/have both setups that you're considering.

Here's another shot of the roof lights (Webshots won't let me link)

Don't wire up 4 lamps to one relayed system.

Being lazy with wiring ends up costing you more money and headaches in the long run.

Your roof rack is aluminum and its rated at 100lbs i think.

For mounting the lights near the license plate, I just drilled holes in the sides of the brushguard. The bolts actually ran horizontal instead of vertical.

And the lights on my roof I made some brackets that mount to the factory roof rack ~ plenty strong, i have the same bracket in the rear holding up my CB antenna and it takes alot of abuse since its on top of the truck

yeah i wanna mount my other set like the black X u have...on the brushgaurd by the license plate

Same truck ~ all you need to do is drill a 3/8" hole and then buy longer mounting bolts and some spacers so the lights are centered between the guard and the license plate. Probably took me 2 hours including drive time to the hardware store on a saturday.
