is it possible for me to mount some lights on a stock luggage rack on my 98 ltd. do i just have to buy a special bracket, if so where can i get them.

 

I have mounted 2 pairs of the Hella 500's on my tock roof rack, so yes, it is possible. I bought some square u-bolts from lowes, putting the bolt under the rack and the piece of metal that comes with it on the top of the cross bar and mounted the light to the piece of metal. I'll see if i can find some pics as these are no longer mounted there.

 

alright thanks, yeah it would be great if i could see some pictures.

 

i snapped 2 quick pix for ya

 

alright thanks alot.

 

no problem, i cut down one of the u bolt posts so it didnt block the light. Actually mounting the lights doesnt take much time, its running the wires that takes a while (at least for me).

 

use these



used in installing these



any yakima dealer should be able to find them.... and order separately... I got a pack of 4 for $20...

"Rack Mount style comes with Yakima Universal SnapArounds® to fit Yakima or Thule bars"

 

i dont think those brackets will fit the stock rack andrew. its wide and not round. could also just drill into the front main cross bar.
