    Just the basics
    Sorry couldn't read through 72 pages about light bars. Just picked up a 44" bar from ebay. Does anyone know a way to mount these to a yakima cross bar with a wind fairing? I use a wind fairing to deflect air from the area of my camper which is near the cab of the truck. I don't really want to mount it to the camper itself.

    I bought a 30" double row OKLEDLIGHTBAR on the group buy recently and just installed it this weekend. I made my own brackets out of some aluminum angle and aluminum flat stock. Pretty simple, just measure twice and cut and drill once :). It fit's great in the lower opening.

    It came with a wiring harness that is plug and play, but I want a switch that matches the factory switches and want to wire it into my high beams. I'll have to get some advice on wiring into my highbeams. Anyway, since I live in northern AK it won't be dark for a few more months!

    I also installed an OME kit this weekend and gave her 2 coats of wax - ugh!

    I like the look of that!. I too am trying to figure out the Switch issue. For me it is a different thing though. I want to control the 4 switched I have for my lights individually. Then have a 5th switch, that controls them ALL making them all illuminate at once. I can't remember how I did it a couple years ago for a buddy. Even made a mince diagram with parts a few months back. Misplaced....

    I want to be able to turn them off with the switch and then when the switch is on they will only come on with the high beams. Don't need them to come unless the high beams are on. Just need to tap into the high beam circuit which will open the relay circuit.

    What do you guys think about a 25w cannon style 120mm pod light? about 900ft range, not as good as vision x but less then 220 a pair delivered. Ive got 50 pairs of these new MRT 120MM Pods w/ covers on the way - 2 yr warranty IP68 rated.
