I bought a loadwarrior basket a couple years back and finally got around to putting the lights on it.

First I took 2 pieces of 1/8x1x1 alum angle and riveted them together back to back making a tee and riveted them to the front and rear lower horizontal tubes.

That gave me a lip on the front and back to mount the lights to. 4 LED's in the front and 2 work lights in the rear. I have 2 LED's for the rear that i will swap out later.

I like the led's quite a bit. They last a long time compare to other standard bulbs and put out a great amount of light with very little power. Looks good.

Those look great for side lighting from the roof rack!! Where'd you get 'em?

Thanks. They run about 70 dollars each. The two inside are made by Grote and are 1000 lumen. The outside two are made by Truck-lite and are 750 lumen. They are work lights for a tractor trailer so you can get them at any tractor or trailer dealership. Most auto parts stores that deal with heavy trucks like NAPA. cam order them also.
