When I mounted my 40” bar under the leading edge of a hannibal rack no wind noise, when I mounted on a roc-ard Lightbar mount loads of wind noise... you now know the answer

We have two Chinese 10" bars. They're working fine for 5 years now without any water ingress.

Hi - Anyone tried fitting the Lazer ST-4 in the front bumper, to avoid the need for a light bar, and if so are they too low for effective lighting? 2015 90 XS SW Bowler

I have 2 x Lazer ST4 lights in my bumper. Haven’t had them fitted long (couple of weeks) the light from them is amazing.

They are fitted in a stronger bumper. Not sure if an ordinary bumper would retain sufficient strength if you did cut outs for the lights in the position I have them mounted.

If your looking just to fit one in the centre of the bumper it maybe stronger enough.

Not sure if just one would suffice though , maybe be better to go slightly bigger perhaps.

Have seen them mounted on top of a bowler race bumper



Think cutting the other Bowler bumper to fit the lights would be a brave call. Big Cry

On our old black 110 we had 2 x ST4 mounted on top of front bumper angled out slightly. Angling the lights outwards gave a very good spread of light close to the vehicle.

The Lazer ST4's are approved as an optional headlight and if controlled by the main beam switch they are road legal.

Does anyone know or has anyone fitted a 50" light bar with one of these snorkels?

I have seen lights mounted in a Bowler road bumper. No idea what brand or if DRL of fogs as it was parked up. Looked great though.

Mine will soon be getting a stealth 21" now that I've replaced the corroded OE lower grille with a black Zunsport

Grafty, looks great, but in that blue I'm not sure it could ever be classed as stealthy. You won't be getting the SAS knocking on your door anytime soon. Thumbs Up Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....
