No worries mate, just weird how they built them like that, i'm a stickler for symmetry lmao

I can't wait to get it all hooked up before winter

I got the lights off fleabay, simples

Just get the best 4 light deal you can find. I modified the light brackets so I could get the lights as low as possible for tree clearance.

I did a thread somewhere about it

Your a gent!!! I was thinking of getting these but was unsure if they would be easy to modify the brackets, I want mine exactly how you have yours set up as in mounted below rather than above the bar;

Did you make your own wiring rig? If so, would you like to knock me one up for some sweet cash

?

Can't seem to find any "Tigerseal" I take it this should do the same job?

No wiring service here mate

I did mine yes but mine goes through military plug n socket, then down the pillar(internal) then in the dash via a solenoid to light up LED switches on the custom bit of lower dash I made.
It's easy to do, just get yourself the right size wire for the wattage you'll be running. Solenoids are rated too and have the wiring points labeled.
Good luck

Dont buy from those facists at bnq

Screwfix is simple or motor factors, it's also know as Siekafex or similar.

Pete think I remember you saying your lights were Wipac ones. If not, I have wipac ones and they are good quality.

Banshee I also have the ones you linked to, Plastic is not as good quality. But good for the price.

The mounts for the lights can be used with the light ontop or below the bar.

I've just ordered some of that stuff from the link

Banshee · 13-09-2012, 19:09

Right, I've started to try and fit these tonight and after a ballache to get the roof lining down enough just at the front without damaging it I have decided they are impossible to fit!!!!!

Firstly if I use the foot for the middle section the rails just see-saw and neither end touches the car and secondly there is no space whatsoever at the front to drill through and attach the feet as there is only a tiny gap and I reckon I'd only manage to secure it properley with one bolt :S

It's driving me mad not to mention the fact that I've snapped and broken both sun visor plastic covers for the screws and the plastic trim panel that runs down the drivers side by the dash and window

Any help would be appreciated guys as time is of the essence as we don't have much sunlight left

96terrano · 13-09-2012, 19:15

it's easier to take the entire roof lining out altogether, do you want some replacement parts, ive got some panels and visors if wanted

it's not to hard to remove

makeitfit · 13-09-2012, 19:20

Just undo it only takes half an hour ish

Middle foot may need a quick trim with Mr angle grinder

There is room DONT PANIC carry on

I've found that if I leave the middle foot off and just put the metal inside the rubber foot it's perfect, do you have any rough measurements I can go by from when you fitted yours?
