Headache Rack Lights
Hi all,
Recently purchased my first diesel. 2000 White F350 Crew Cab Long Bed 7.3 4x4 automatic with 61000 miles. Lovin it!
I also just purchased a ProTech louvered headache rack with load light and cb antenna attachments. I'm trying to decide what style lights would go well on the rack. Anyone have pics? The light attachments are on the top corners of the rack that is between the top and the side piece, (the angle that is between the two).

welcome to the nuthouse!!
what kind of lights are you looking to put on. offroad lights, or emergency lights?
i have a strobe bar and an arrow stick mounted on a home made back rack.
here is a picture of the 4th and final (i think)setup.

I just purchased some cheap 3x5 driving lights that were chrome, sanded and painted them flat black. I am going to use them as reverse/cargo lights. will post some pics once the special ordered brackets from back rack get in. Ordered them 2 and a half weeks ago and still nothing

I need emergency lights on top and load lights pointing back and to the side, (thinking of Saber light bar for emergency). I work on the highways so the truck is used for making other drivers aware, protecting me on the road when I'm on ground in front of the truck, and lighting to for working under during night jobs.
I have been looking at Vision X lights for illumination, but they're real expensive. On the other hand, I don't want to put some cheap lights on that either leak, draw to much power, or just illuminate all over instead of having an organized beam that puts good light out where I need it.

on that bar, i took some 1 1/2 square tube stock and cut 1 1/2 inch sections, drilled holes in the center to mount the bar to, and then welded 4 sections to the rack. 2 outside and 2 evenly spaced in the center to mount the bar.
on my 88, i took some 1/4 X 1 flat stock, and made a set of "T" bars. the bottom of the t bolted to the back rack, and the light bar mounted to the top.
on my 79, i mounted the light bar to the off road light mounting tabs on the double roll bar.

when i built that truck in 88-89, i was running a dozer in a swamp a little over a mile off road through a haz mat contaminated swamp. the truck was on 42 inch tires, and the pipes were up there to keep bad stuff out of them. you could not see them from the front, they were completely hidden by the racer-back. the only way you knew they were there from the front was when i stood on it and it puffed a cloud of black because the turbo did not kick in yet.
