The bigger wind deflector is quiet and things haven't been blown away. It just takes some cardboard for a template and 3/16" ABS plastic.

hey thanks! ill set that aside as a weekend project, should be fun.
yippie... i got the mounts today, and installed them. i should get the lights on there soon enough, and ill post pictures of my setup.
here they are mounted. i think im going to get rectangle lights that fit mounted upside down. i have ordered a couple more f this brackets to mount so i can put 4 lights up there.
i am going to mount these puppies, 4 of them, this weekend.
here the link...

well... 2 this weekend, the other 2 when the other 2 brackets arrive on the 23rd.
well, i decided to mount only two, as 4 wouldnt fit. it looks awesome!!! it tooks some fiddling to get the lights aimed correctly. i had to add about 7 washers to each light to get it to lower and fit between the top and bottom bars of the rack. it was a clean install, and ill have pics up tomarow if anyones care to see. Man, i am thrilled to have them on finally!!! i think i take it for a test drive now...

here they are... the pictures!!! woo hooo! tell me what you think! man they are bright and they are hidden when not in use by way of the wind deflector.
very cool, no doubt!
;eekr; I want I want
thanks guys! glad you like em! i love them so far. last night it was raining hard and it was pitch black. when i flipped my lights on...boom! everything lit up twice as bright as before. I have never had acc. light mounted on the roof of the car, but i like it. when i drive with em on, i see to beams over my head. and when it was raining, the rain was lit up in the beam, it was a cool effect.
Just don't flip them on during a snow storm or you will be blind!
Looks good!

i just mounted a couple of bicycle hoders they sell at Ace Hardware in the cieling of my garage. now i can take off the top rack when im not using it. it works pretty well. ill show pics. also, i got the yakima tire holder for the load warrior, and have put my fifth tire and wheel in there. ill post pics of that too.
if anyone wants a detailed instruction on how i was able to get the hella 550's to fit on the rack, just give me a hollar, and ill be glad to help.
i recommend it highly if you have a yakima rack. the light kit is only $70. some people think that since i have ligts up there i cant take the rack off but this is not true. i hooked up a connector and just run the wire under the weather stripping in the door. its a easy on easy off install. oh ya, the light mounts are $20 as well. still, not bad
