Mounting lights on Yakima Rack

[daverami]

Anyone have any ideas, or have done this. I want to put a couple of IPF lights on the front crossbar of my Yakima rack, towards the outside edge, near the mounts. Any ideas?

Thanks

would you share where did you get those lights? I can't seems to find them. Thanks!

The lights are just a $20 set from Auto Zone, but they have been one of the best mods I have ever made!

Here are some pics of FUBAR (AKA: Macrod on Cruiserville) and his Yakima light bar for the FJ Cruiser. I wish I had better pics.

He mounted the bar and put the lights upside down, so it had no less clearance than the OEM rack.





I will look for more pics, but I only wheeled with him once, so they may be hard to come by.

Here is a link for the Yakima Load/MegaWarrior Light Bar Bracket in the pictures below. Link

I also have buddies that took the original yakima ring (the clamp part that holds a lot to the crossbar) and simply mounted the light bolt through there and tightened it, worked out great!:26_7_2:

That sounds like a cool trick, I'll have to give that a try.

I like the mount you used, very clever. I'll have to check if Yakima has a similar product and try and find a used one.
