hi mate thanks i think it looks good.Il be using this when i go shooting. it was very easy to fit apart from i have drilled a small hole in the hard top for the wires to go through, im not sure weather this was a good idea as these roofs are probably worth as much as the car is its self. This is were you can get a Light pod from.

Dont suppose you (or anyone with a similar pod) can tell me or better still show pics of the wiring loom/ and / or how you plumb one of these into the electrics - im thinking about getting one and am wondering if its possible to wire them so they come on with with main beam and spots on my a bar, and but be able to turn them off independently. A wiring diagram would be ideal :-)

I have the oval version of these fitted...

Fitting really easy, all the wiring is colour coded and simple to connect ... all you need is to connect to a fused live and run a second power feed to a switched ancillary and make sure you earth the lot...

Forgot to add, I sealed around the base of mine and filled the channels in the roof with black silicone sealer. Also filled in the gaps between the roof bars with silicone too. £100 may seem steep, but when you work it out, 4x spotlights will cost you £50 - £60 .. then add cables / connectors / relays / switch / fuses and that can be an extra £10 - £15 ... for the extra £30 you get an ABS pod and its a single unit rather than 4x separate lights that will all need aligning and fixing to something .. or each one drilled though a roofbar.
