They have quite a flood pattern, for roof spots you want a spotlight style or a combination of both.

I'm thinking of converting these to roof lights but how would i go about changing them to 12v?

Not sure how much success you'll have with them as roof lights but that's going to make a nice replacement light for my bike :thumb2

do you have to drill the roof or what?

I'd love some spots but dont want to attack the metal on the roof really. :nenau

I brought a set of LWB Terrano Roof Rails from the scrappy and cut them down, this means they will reach the very front of the roof near the windscreen which is great for light coverage of the road rather than lighting up the roof. I then brought a pair of genuine Nissan roof bars that clamp on and lock with a key

I then mounted the spots on the rail, wired them up, ran them as 2 pairs and then wired into the cabin via a conduit through the roof :thumb2

ahh, very nice sir. you can also get spots on the bull bars right?

You can however I found a bull bar kills your approach angle when off roading too much and got rid of it

I've now mounted them on my bumper instead but looking on fabricating a strut that goes behind them to stop wobble

Rally cars use something like this attached between the top of the lamp and the grille/slam panel:

Adjustable and might be easier than making something?
