PLEASE HELP...
Off ebay, got 4 oem off-road roof lights with wiring harnesses (cut short) and screw knobs. No bar.
Questions:
1. Can the lights go on a standard roof rack bar?
2. What kind of nuts hold the screw knobs down? (Didn't come with any)
3. Do I drill holes through the rubber piece on top (middle) of bar for the screw knobs? Or do I just remove the entire rubber piece?
4. How are the wiring held in place? Hidden inside rack, or just tied at bottom?
5. Anyone figured how to flip/fold the lights down when not in use (for help in clearance issue)?
MUCH OBLIGED!!

Thanks Phil, o Hummer Lighting Guru!!
Another question: I have taken the trouble of installing additional switches inside before, so I have extra relays inside the engine compartment. Any suggestion which route I should go to connect wires from roof to engine compartment?
THANKS AGAIN!!!
Anyone with nut info? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Phil, since I've placed the extra relays outside, I am really reluctant to have to run the wires inside the cabin just to get it outside to the engine bay again (though the earlier thread where you have pic & instructions on running the wire to the inside is in my fav folder archive! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif).
Any other ideas? Much appreciated!
