Anyone use low profile roof lights?

[Ukraine Train]

My company sells a light bar for our utility vehicle that has four low profile lights on it. They're about 1.5" tall and 3" wide. Anyone have pictures of a setup like this? I'm just wondering if it'll look goofy because they're so small.

[TheInstaller]

I thought about mounting the low profile lights under the factory rail.

[Ukraine Train]

I think if you put them that far back and that low that your roof will block a lot of the light from landing in front of the truck. Might be ok if you're mounting narrow beam lights aimed way out in front, though.

Ya, i did what the installer said. They seem to work well for wide light, but dont shine nearly as far as my hella's. I like them because they aren't really that noticeable.

I love the look of white jeeps in the snow

Out of curiosity, who made those and what bulbs do they use? I've been looking for something like that for a while.

Here is mine it has 4 hella Free Form lights on it, they though off a good beam, my original idea was to set them underneath a full lenght roof rack but then decided not too

Out of curiosity, what made you change your mind on that? I'm actually considering doing the same thing.

[red_01_xj]

when I did it I just used what was aviable. i woulnt mind switing to a full length rack I just didnt want to drill the extra holes in the roof rack and i didnt want to have the nuts on the top of the roof rack

[oo7ravisXJ]

thanks for the complements, i dont remember the exact brand, but they were just some cheapy's from Kragen

oo7ravisXJ,
Can you take closer pics of the roof lights? I like that set up. Are your parking lights blacked out?

[oo7ravisXJ]

here's some pics, but no my tail lights are not blacked out. They are after market though, off ebay, all red and white

Thats sweet looking ride man. I just got my wife one just like that. I'd love to get some more info on those tails and blackened parking lights.

Ukraine:
You said your company makes a light bar. You got pics of it? I'd like to see what your talking about.

[Krazors001]

You can just paint them to get the smoked look and wet sand them if you want

[Begster]

I have answered this question many times. VHT Nightshade, its a lens paint specifically for this application. I have it on my front and rear, as well as a couple other Jeeps I know.

[Ukraine Train]

Niteshades is pretty sweet, about $15 for a can at Summit. I have it on the tails of my Camaro.

The light bar we make is on this UV, it comes in black also. It includes the rectangular tube that the lights mount to and the round tube that wraps over the top.

Wow, awesome camero

[bjoehandley]

Those C5 wheels look good on that Camaro.

[Ukraine Train]

Thanks. I've barely driven it the last couple years. I fuel injected it and the tuning is a lot harder than turning some mixture screws haha. Still learning the software/hardware.

[87manche]

are the lights taped/velcrowed on there, thats what it looks like to me, oh and did you route the wire inside the rail

[oo7ravisXJ]

no, each light is held on by 2 bolts, i just used some really wide electrical tape to go over it all.

[danny_v_l]

[oo7ravisXJ]

I love these...I wish someone made these without the red and not the chrome or altezza ones that look like crap. Anyone seen some like that?

[XJ Eric]

I was looking for the ones he's got. I found em for the older ones but nothing for 98 and up

I like the red and white
