    Yeap that was my thoughts when i saw those roof lights,however i'm wondering if wind noise wouldn't be a issue at high speed
    Dakar was just the begining.

    they are 4 55w spotlights, can switch the outside two or inside two or all 4 at once. metal cases for the lamps on a plastic/abs base. lights can be adjusted up n down etc.. and have rubber surrounds to keep water out. all held on by 3M mounting tape which they come with also.
    i did do some mods, i epoxied the screws that hold the lamps at the bottom so they can then be adjusted while mounted, and i re-wrapped the wires to make them lay flat when under the door seals. other than that these units fit right out of the box.

    i can buy and ship to USA for around $150us if any of you guys over there want some. have a paypal account to make it easy. plus ill donate $5 from each sale to the site for all the good work.

    Hey mate, could you pm the brand and store where you got these from? i like to see if i can get them on this side of the pond. if i am unable to get them here i may pm you about getting some shipped to Oz if that is ok.

    Cheers

    Wink Please, please, please!!

    I am MORE than interested! This is my email: snowwolf83@hotmail.com. You can also private message me on this site as I'm doing everything I can to get my VX fixed without pumping anymore money than I need to in it!

    I have a question though: if you look at my last post in the VX Troubleshooting thread, I completely forgot to mention the problem with my fuse board. The guy that previously owned my vehicle had ghetto-rigged a LOT of stuff to the fuse board and it wasn't until I went through an entire box of fuses that I decided to figure out what the hell was wrong. Apparently the previous owner rigged a wire that connects the "trunk popper" button to the same fuse that runs the internal and head lights.

    Point is, I want to add those lights to the top of my VX, but I don't want to screw up my fuse board more than it has already been screwed with. What do you suggest?

    I never like the idea of even touching the fuse board for any reason.

    If i add roof lights to my VX (which i'll deffinetly do) i'll just run a independent wiring from the battery + terminal,run a - wire to ground or chassis,add a in-line fuse to the the + wire,run it the wiring thru the firewall & add a switch to the dash,that's all.

    Isn't necessary to mess with the fuse board at all to add roof lights.

    I added a nice set of blue LED light nozzles without touching the fuse board.

    I just attached the nozzle's + wire to the left + head light wire,add a 0.5 amps in-line fuse to it & run the - wire to ground,the LED's lits up only when my head lights are on which are barely use.

    I'll posting few pics this week end in my gallery's album.
