Roof Top Lights... How and Where? was created by lukeyblunt
Hi all.. I'm very new to this site and was hoping if i could find some help, seeing as most Halfords staff are idiots.
I'm only 16 and have bought a Jimny for my first car because i like to go shooting and fishing, and thought it would be handy for the dirt roads.
I have looked into all sorts of rooftop lights which will come in handy for lamping (or shooting at night).. but i can't seem to find any to fit my Jimny. its a 1.3 JLX 54plate. and its looking a bit Stock.
Being 16, my parents dont want me drilling any (obvious) holes.. and my Mother says exterior cages are.. excessive. -pfft-
Could anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks very much,
Luke

Ahh Okay. Thanks very much! thats an idea!
Although.. if i ever wanted to remove them, it would be a task. I dont spose they're all that secure.. ?
Do you know anybody who could you recommend them?
Thanks again.

What about roof rack type bars and mount roof lights to the front one. You could do it with no drilling too - clamp an exhaust clamp to the front bar with the threads pointing upwards and then bolt the light to the front thread of the clamp with a second nut.
It just so happens that I have some lockable Thule roof bars for sale at the moment too... PM me if interested.
You are correct about Halfords staff too!

As a shooting man
What is your budget?
Are you after remote control or fixed?
Are they to be for driving or shooting?

Hi there!
My budget is only around £80-90. and the lights will be mostly used for shooting.
and im not too familiar with the types of lights, but fixed lighting sounds fine for me.
I may just build a frame from the existing roof bars if worste comes to worste.
What would you recommend ?
Thanks
