Anything you put on top of your VX that isn't arrow-dynamic is going to cause wind noise. However, these are fairly low profile compared to what I have, so I think it would not be too bad. Talk about drag:Originally Posted by Gussie2000
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

yea, im with u there bart, my light setup is very similar to yours (i think my lights are a tad smaller though) i just mounted them back up over the weekend and have definitely noticed more wind noise.. i feel it more in the corners than anything else (i added my crossbars, basket and lights back to the roof)

bart where did you get the mounting hardware for those lights???

It's custom made. My buddy has a full metal shop. He made them for me to fit perfectly to my Coleman Safari Rack. He also made my spikes.

I'm actually surprised that my setup doesn't seem to generate any wind noise. (I was expecting it too!) The only noise I seem to ever notice is the occaissional bug committing suicide
