They're the same lights i got and from the same place. I looked around for ages and different options, i had some money in paypal and bought them. I know you get what you pay for so its not a major grumble but after 2 weeks the bolts holding the guards in place are rusty and the brackets were all wonky, nothing too much to moan about - its like they're liteforce or cibies.

Still to wire mine up, when i get 5 mins i'll get som pics though.

As soon as the Snow melts and I can drive the TVR out, Ill dig them out


On second thoughts..
Having found out that i cant drill through the roofbars.. i may be interested.
I have a set of 40x20 roofbars which cannot be drilled through as they have a 'fastening rod' through the centre.
Could you possibly upload a pic or two, just so i can see if my home would be a good home for them to go to. (- i will happily pay for postage)
Thankyou :)

Update: These are my Roofbars. They sit fairly high. :dry:
They also make a horrendous WHURRING noise when driving at around 50mph. :angry:

Below is only 2 of my 4 lights, literally placed on the bars.
As said, I can't drill through the bars as the locking rod runs through it. So i need some brackets or clamps or something of that nature.
Any ideas on how to make some? - I would also (if possible) like to bring the lights further forward.

:blink: So far, so good. I think.

Thanks all :)

here are a few pix of my Mk1 Bar.

the "L" shaped brackets allowed me to drop the ligts, and mount them infront of the bar
