Roof rack light mounting

I'm looking for ideas on mounting lights on my roof rack and would rather make them than buy the companies $40-50 for 2 tabs...
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
I have a safari type roof rack (surco)

You could get the round rings like Four Treks carries.

You can get them from different sources, then add your own hardware to them.
The rings come in various sizes to accommodate different sized tubing.
