I recently added 4 lights and a strobe to my ROPS, and I thought I would share them with everybody.
The lights are 50 watt HOBBS Trapezoids purchased from Messicks
The Strobe was a "extra" one from work...
I also added a rear 12v outlet while I was in the wiring mood.

Yes, I drilled the ROPS /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif, I know the consequences of my actions, I am a big boy and can take the heat, No further comment is necessary /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The first pics is of the 4 switch bezel's I installed in the left fender...

Kenny as always your projects are a class-act. Nice clean looking installation of lights. Now you can plow snow all night long. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The mounting for your switches is great. It almost looks factory.

Where did you get the bezel and switches?

The bezel's and switches are from a marine store here locally, I think it was West Marine?

Thanks for the kind words...
