Are they nice and bright?

Also where do people fit them to the freebies? I have cross bars on but realised today that they are quite far from the back of the car

I have one of these 27w LED work lamps but instead I mounted it on a spring hand clamp and a ciggie lighter plug on the end. I can mount it any where I like and having a 3 door there are roof bars all over the place. When finished you can pack it away so no one can try and nick it. It to is an eBay special lamp.

You can buy a bracket off teddywood and fit a light like i did. Not wired up yet but you get the idea

Or you could go this way. Perhaps a little extreme for what you want? Hehe

4x39W & 2x27W LED flood front facing
72W LED left and right
2x48W LED rear
amber strobe bar on roof plus 4x bolt mount strobes forward facing.
2x 20W battery powered LED flood on tripod when I need to be away from the car.

Hmmm now if I had that roof rack I'd be vet happy!!!

Will have another look at work lights today, I'm not so keen in the bracket that attaches above spare wheel

I would prefer a light sitting high like that but I would need to buy some roof rails. They always seem so expensive that's why I spent £25 on a bracket. Ordered a new oval led work light today

Hmm will have to figure a place to fit them ... How strong are the magnetic mounts?

They're strong, mine seems stronger than my CB mag mount.
