Because I have an issue parting with more money they I have to...I would make a set. Plus you can do it JUST they way you want.

Orange:

Look at getting a stock bar, with the "feet". Then take a look at some driving lamps. There are so many on the market that you will be able to pick just what you want. Some of the companies I have found to be the best are the following:

Hella
Phillips
PIAA
BOSCH
(some people like KC, but I am not a fan)

Many of these type (stock) driving lamps can be picked up pretty easy. Some even have a T-bolt that sticks out the back with a swivel style mounting system. If you measure out where you want the lamps, and then take the middle - that is probably where the bolt is going to go. You will have to tap out the stock bar, and make the hold just a tiny bit larger than the T-bolt (stud). I personally would also seal the bolts with RTV sealer befor putting the nut on. Some lamps have the wires going through the T-bolt, but most have them coming from the back some place - out of some rubber grommet or something. You might have to drill a small hold to feed each lamps wires through too...or one for all. Either way, you want to be sure you add a rubber grommet that you can poke though, and that will save the wires from shorting out, and tearing their jackets.

Wire in series, and make sure you use a fuse, and you may also want to use a relay. All the wiring should be hidden inside the bar (tube). Getting it into the cab can be done though the roof mounted lamp (orange lamp).

Check it out, let me know if you need any help.
