How do I secure offroad lights on ARB bumper so they dont get stolen?

[BulletHead]

I hope this is the right place to post, I did not see a section dedicated for lighting.

Anyways, I have a pair of HID off-road lights to be mounted on my ARB bumper but would like to secure them so they cant be stolen. Any ideas?

Tamper proof nut on the bottom?

Yes, that would work. I was thinking the type that people use on their wheels but do they make them that small?

edit: I did find some sites that sell them but they want to sell 1000-2000 at a time. Anyone know of any that sells them by the piece?

Lightly spot weld the nut to the bolt.

I have them on mine and it works great. No problem so far, I have the Hella 4000. I guess if they want it so bad they can just loosen it from the light adjustment screw.

I've had mine stolen. They took the light off the tab at the adjustment screw. I've been temped to tack weld the nut on my current set but I like to adjust them (offroad-high vs. on road-low). My intent when mounting my new lights was to make them temporary and take them off when not used and leave them at home. I ended up drilling the bumper and bolting them on. We'll see.

Just wonder where you all live that they would steal lights??

Actually good post... I can make use of those nuts

Solder fishhooks to the back of them. (oh wait, that was the solution for car stereo theft)

I usually use 'el cheapo lights for this reason....

But for my more expensive ones I've done the tack weld thing...same with the winch and bumper itself....it's pretty darn easy to cut the winch leads and unbolt the entire bumper otherwise.
