I am making a new rear bar to house my led lights in, lights are very bright and they have polycarbonate lenses, so should not be very easy to bust.

I bought a 2 m lenght of 200x100x3mm rhs then cut the bar out with a plasma cutter, welded end plates. Ill make up some mounting plates, rear recovery points, and cut out the holes for the reversing lights when I get a chance.

Part 1
Look at the picture, read the packet

Part 2
Did you even read what I wrote - I got them from Ebay so any price I paid is irrelevant, if it helps mine were $100 a pair??

Gunna try and source somthing like this

http://www.soluscorp.com.au/product6.html

or if that fails

Some of the under water pond lights, that take a 12v halogen downlight globe - then replace the globes with the 19 led globes you can get on ebay

edit : found these http://www.pond-equipment.creativefount ... lights.htm
Much cheaper than the marine ones I was looking at in pic below. loose the bracket and recess into bar like leds...

Nice work. I was always bending my rear bumper. In the end i gave up and mounted the lights on the rear tailgate. But i wish i'd used some LED's instead of the trailer lights that i did use.

Instead of answering his question with a simple yes, you suggesting he grab a magnifying glass to whats written on one of the three pictures you posted. Right...

Guys the moment happened and its now over. Leave it alone. Everyone’s just a bit edgy at the moment. There’s tech in here and I don’t want to start deleting or editing people’s posts just yet, but if it comes to it I will.
