Got another project done on Bumble today. Got my 3 100W KC daylighters mounted to the Blackhorse Sport bar.
The bar was designed for a 50" LED light bar, so I had to do some modifications to the mounting. I still have some tweaking to do with the light positions. Right now they interfere with the top being folded back. I'll either move the sport bar back the 2" to clear the top or reverse the KC 3" mounts so the lights mount between the 2 bars vs in front of the 1st bar. Couldn't put them on the rear bar as the 3rd brake light interfered with the clamp on the sport bar.
All in all pretty happy. Ideally they would be mounted a little higher, but the beams clear the high point ridge in the soft top.

Yes, they would be useless when the softop is folded back, but usually I take the extra 5 minutes it takes to remove the top and frame so I eliminate the "man bun" look.

Just need to decide if I want to keep the yellow covers or go with the white / black stone guards that match the truck colors

Standard Halogens. They'll only be used for setting and picking up duck / goose decoys in the field for hunting. If I am wheeling, I'm in before dark. My younger days of wheeling during night are long behind me :)

Looks good!
You could use the 2 outer clamps and mount a crossbar on top of them. Drill your light mounting holes in the crossbar and fit them where you like. Would raise the lights the thickness of the crossbar as well.

Moved the clamps around and installed a spacer. All is good now
