Gee Beav all them cool lights..i wanna put a ralley bar on my Honda and add a few...and maybe a bar up near my sunroof lol... Just kiddin,but i need a set of landing lights on my Accord lol..Makes me want another Blazer Reaaaaaaaaally bad lol[8D]

 

Sounds like New Zealand has the same rules as Canada.

 

500 watts is a pretty big drain on the stock alternator, at idle...

If I leave it sit for a few minutes my volt meter gets lower and lower and lower.... Doesn't seem to drop to less than 10 volts, though

 

how dou you hook them into your high beams?

 

They tap into the power wire for the highs, so the roof lights only have power when the highs have power. You can simply avoid tapping that wire, and connect to continous power at the battery to have them on any time you choose.

 

I have a couple questions: first can you post a close up pic of how you have the roof lights mounted? second, if i wire my bull bar lights and roof lights to the high beams and just have a switch running to the roof lights would that work?



Thanks, Shane

 

I was wondering if you would be so kind in posting some close up picks of your roof rack with specs? I have a buddy that is good at making stuff like that but he needs a basic idea of what i want and i really like your's.



Thanks, Shane

 

Hi Shane,

Check out my pictures on
photobucket.com albums kiwiblazer(sorry I tried to get the link but don't couldn't get it to work here).

When I set up my lights I wanted them as far forward on the roof as I could get them without compromising the use of the existing roof rack. A friend gave me a set of aftermarket roof racks & I made up a pair of mounting platesfrom 1/4" aluminium plate & shaped this to fit onto the front mount or feet of the roof rack. As you will see on thepictures, the shape was determined by the shape of the new roof rail & the opening in the existing roof rail foot & also to align this with the front of the existing setup. I made a plastic template to ensure it fits & looks right before I cut the ali.

The rest of the pics should be self explanetary. I mounted a junction box on the roof in case I wanted to remove the lights for whatever reason later on.

Because the light rail was hollow & of a decent size, I was able to conceal all the wires, coming out at the end on the right side. (drivers side). I drilled through the roof & fed the wires into the channel above the drivers door, down the "A" pillar & into the dash where I mounted the switches on the dome light switch panel. At the moment the lights are not wired through the high beams but that will be done. Power is fed directly from the battery.

Hope this helps.
