Soo..... I got my BA roof rack off of Ebay the beginning of July. It was an AWESOME buy at $152 plus shipping. It really is a nice product. And really it looked nice on the truck as well.
But it needed some help. It looked a little too plain
So I added some lights. I was on a budget so I bought some cheapies.
I really needed the additional rear lights for backing the boat at night in particular. But I also wanted some light out the side as well. Its really hard to see out the truck at night with the windows beeing tinted so dark. So I bought some cheap LED driving lights that were blue in color. They were only available in a chrome finish and I really did not want them to stand out so I took care of that.
Most off all the wiring was run inside of the roof rack tubes as well to keep it protected and looking nice. I used a 4 pin trailer harness as a plug for the lights so the rack can easly be removed from the truck if need be.
I also finally got the spare tire out of the H2 and on top. This was also VERY easy to do. The only thing I had to purchase was a 24" piece of 1/2" all thread from Home Depot for $3. I rolled the all thread in a piece of Gorilla tape. "like a hot dog in a bun". That way it does not scratch anything up during installation etc....
I used the factory inside mounting plate and threaded hook. And the all thread runs under 6-8 of the roof rack bars to distribute the weight of the tire.
And here is the look I got.
