Please can someone help, I have had this lightbar for ages and never worked out the right way to fit it, this is my best guess, but it dosent look 'neat and tidy'.

I have tried to find pictures on the internet, but they are all too blurry or dont use a bar. Can anyone help with how to assemble the bar correctly?

Thanks that does help, any ideas if there is a way to make the bolts at the bottom seem less visible, just seems a bit ugly to have chromed lights with some steel bolts sticking out the bottom.

Could try and cut the threads off so the bolts are shorter, would seem like buchery to me though.

Well, on the subject of cutting threads, this brings me to my next problem, how to mount the bar to the car !

this is the mount that is given in the kit (2 of them)

and this is the only way I can see it could fit, but I would have to cut the bolt on the bottom of the lamps to get hte mounting bolt fully down.

And I have no idea why there is an extra tab on the bracket with a hole at the end !

Lol thats a new way to do it i gotta admit. The 'extra tab' with the hole in is where the spotlight bolt goes through. The slotted tab goes to the back and the tab with the thread on it goes under the bumper.

Ok, tried that, but the angle Ive marked looks a bit strange, and what is the tab going to the back for?

that angle should be fine as the lamps are independently adjustable up and down
