Default OEM BMW roof rack modded for light bar

Hey guys so for this upcoming snow season I decided I needed more lighting when taking my trips up to the mountain and it got me thinking about putting some off-road led lightbars on top. I just finished it tonight and need to clean up the wiring but will post some pictures of it tomorrow so you guys can see what it looks like. The light bars I used are very slim and only about 6 inches across. I have added two spot led lights which gives plenty of light output but I will be also ordering in two floods to see the difference. This mod allows you to still carry your snowboards or even bikes during the summer and can be reversed without and damage as no drilling is needed.
