Roll Bar Light Ideas

[Ls2xjcomanche]

I’m finally getting around to installing the factory roll bar that I bought a few months ago. Want your guy’s ideas on light options for it. I don’t mind the way it looks without lights but still undecided...

 

Also is there anything that I could pour/spray in it to prevent it to rust from the inside out?

Also, no longer a fan of the cubes and bars. Ineffective for the money spent. The last place I'd mount a bar is above and behind the cab. 

Spots on the bar and floods on the bumper. 

 

From what I've seen from Rigid..........not too impressed. 

 

I've been looking long and hard at Hella, KC, VisionX.

BJ did and install and review on his -so called- MJ build. 

At the time and still maybe, there was a promo code straight from KC making this bar come in around $1200. 

 

 Not my style but if I had a sport bar........for sure. Add a pair of Trucklite or JW Speaker head lights and a couple of good LED floods at the bumper, this would make Rigid's junk look silly.

I have a set of remote spotlights from a boat- I like them.  70* up/down and 380* around.

I agree.  I wish the led light bar craze would end.

 

I think some good old fashioned round KC spotlights would go best with our vintage MJs.  I see you have modernized the look of yours (97+ front end, 97+ mirrors...) so perhaps a modern looking light would "match".

 

I wouldn't spend a bunch of money on lights I would never/hardly ever use.  As a guy who had the four KC spotlights on his 78 K20 back in high school, I can say they didn't get much use.  But they looked cool.  If you do a lot of night wheeling, then disregard my opinion.

 

If I was to find myself with a truck & roll bar mounted lights again, I think I would control them off an old fashioned foot dimmer switch, so I could use them on the country roads I drive, and turn them off quickly for oncoming traffic.

Thanks, I just ordered some cavity coated!

 

Honestly, I like the way it looks without light so leaning towards not getting any at this point. I already have rigid midnight pods in both bumpers so that’s why I was looking for some lights that would match. 

 

Thanks for the input and advice 👍🏼
