Homemade Land Rover Light Bar

[liamjordan]

I've wanted to put some roof mounted lights on my landy for a while now, but i really didnt want to spend 60 quid + on a light bar, so got the old arc welder out and made my own

 

The spot lights are just 12v 55w tractor work lamps, much cheaper than any of of the spotlights on the landy type websites

 

Wired them up at college today and they work really well, well pleased so much more satisfying making somthing yourself

nice, more lights is always better! don't forget you shouldn't use them on public highway as they are higher than 1.2m above the road.

cheers!

 

yeah i did look into the legal side before wiring up, i have wired them into my main beams, but have a isolator switch so i can stop them from working with the main beam switch when on the main road

or when the road is empty, or you just feel like melting the idiot in front, mine are mounted at 6inch above the parcelshelf on hatchbacks, if i was to tailgate someone i could blind them with their own mirror:thumbup:

Nice.

 

Lights are always good. Too many time i have worked under the lights of the tractor as their better than the truck.

 

Just one thing is to check with your insurance company as extra lights normally extra on the policy.

Not a bad job!

I bought one off eBay butproblem with roof mounted lights is it lights up all the bonnet too.

Why don't you mount them upside down so there less vulnerable?

alright man only just noticed your post, i didnt mount them upside down because of the way i bodged the light bar up, really its too low, when the lights are upside down they ubstruct the windscreen too much
