I'm about to mount 8 PIAA 510 4" lamps on the cross bar....
I had two ideas for the mount...
1- use nut certs to attach a steel plate on the bottom of the cross bar, one for each light. The steel plate would come out in front of the cross bar just enough to base mount the PIAA
2- simple drill straight through the center of the cross bar for each mounting location. Replace the short PIAA bolt with a longer one from the hardware store and be done.
After holding the lights up to the bar and actually mocking up the steel plate method, I think that simply mounting the lights with a longer bolt in essence clamping the light from front/back of the cross bar is the best method for both looks and adjustment.
Open to other options if you got em'
I'm powder coating so if I fab it up before the powder coating it should look good.
