Joe i think you should get rid off all spotties off your cheesy bar and run them on your roof.

Then your bar is free for cable moutns etc etc.

Mates car he has same bar, with Hella 4000's on the side then runs a piece of tube with flat bar welded to it so you can bolt it to the spotlight holes on the bar, with the horns welded to the tube. Make sure that each of your horns are 1 piece and bent so they have no sharp or pointy edges.

Make them removable and attach them to the front of the hoop on the Cheezy bar so they stick out the front and then go up in an L shape hook.

Removable keeps them street legal.
