Default Hood Light Bar

Ok well this was my latest project for my jeep.

I really wanted a light bar but wasn't wanting to spend a ton for it so I just made one. Simple design. Has its advantages and disadvantages of course. But Hey works and looks great.

I'll try to make a little write up on it. The lights are actually adjustable to any point on the bar, they can slide to any position. Give me a bit of time ont he Write-Up though. I didnt take any photos during my process So i'll have to make another one. :P

Ok, before the build / sale thing goes out of hand and forces closure of this thread, Please refrain from posting any more about it.

This would be an AWESOME piece for the basement builders craft fair! I would like to see it there.

Nice It looks like it, so I'm assuming aluminum?

- There is a bit of glare but nothing unbarable. No more than any other hood light bar.

- The washer shoots right over the bar and in between the lights. Works great!

- Basement builders crafts fair? What is this? Still new around here.

- Yes you are correct. All aluminum.

Sorry I do not wish to have this closed due to sales. I apologize.

The Basement Builder's craft fair is a place for NON vendors to sell their products here on the forum. It does not run continuosly, it usually is open for a couple day out of the month, on weekends to allow the most views. Contact wayoflife directly for the next possible dates. (I would tell you, but i dont see it on the calander)

This is the announcement from the LAST one, give you an idea:

The Basement Builders Virtual Crafts Fair is a once a month special event that we've created to help non-commercial members of JK-Forum to show off and sell the various homemade Jeep JK Wrangler parts and accessories that they have made. If you would like to participate as a seller in this special event, there are no costs involved but we will require you to register yourself and your products prior to posting in this forum.

The next Basement Builders Crafts Fair is scheduled to be held [DATE & Time] and will be held in this Special Events Forum.

can you get some close up shots of where it attaches to the hood hinge, or just include it in a write-up if you plan on writing one.
