Roll Bar Courtesy / Dome Light

I'm looking for a 12V courtesy / dome light that will clamp on the 2" OD tube of my Blazer's rollbar similar to these Hickey models. Anyone know of a source?

Funny. I was checking out your post and recognized the picture. I have a similar setup for a fire extinguisher that mounts to the roll bar also. Now I know it looks like Hickey parts are on it.

I want 12V so I can wire it into the door jamb switches.

Re: Roll Bar Courtesy / Dome Light

it doesn't scream 1970's but it also isn't just a LED, and its a wired unit...

Re: Roll Bar Courtesy / Dome Light

I made this one from a piece of 3/4" acrylic square tube.....
a piece of 1/2" acrylic angle, and some LED strip lights.....
I did machine some custom mounts to hold it between the two bars..
total of about 5½ feet of 50 36 LEDS
it puts out a lot of light....wired it to the courtesy lights...
it's tucked up tight between the roll bars....

I used this one on each side of the roll bar:
