Roof Rack Lights

  

dizzy -> Roof Rack Lights (8/12/2007 10:01:18 PM)

Hi guys. I just purchased my first Hummer H2 on the weekend. I should have it on Tuesday. I can hardly wait! I have tried a friends H2 with roof racks in my garage and it just barely fits in. The 03 H2 that I just purchased has the off road lights on top of the roof racks. I know that this is not going to fit. My question is how would I take the off road lights off of the rack. Will this hole bar come off in one piece? Is there just a wire connector to just unplug for the lights? Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks  Doug Will post pictures shortly.

post some pics and it may be a little easier to help you out. It all depends on what light bar you have.

Dizzy, that bar should come off as an assembly like any other roof cross bar on an H2.  There are a couple of screws/bolts under the rubber strip at the top of the cross bar the lights are mounted on, they hold the bar to the black side pieces. 
Take the caps off the bars using the key, remove the screws holding (you need a torque bit on your screw driver, I think a 15 but I'm not 100% sure) the bar to the black side pieces and it *should* come off just fine.  I had a hell of a time with mine because they've been on for over 3 years and never touched.  As far as the electrical wiring on the lights down to the engine compartment I'm somewhat unsure.  I *believe* there is a disconnect for them but since I don't actually have the lights myself, I can't verify it for you. 
I do however have a problem with the notion that once the roof lights are installed you can't remove them without messing with the wiring.  I'd like to think GM would know better than to half azz it to THAT extent!!!

Like JD said, some pics would be very helpful to us!

Hi Guys. I picked up the H2 on Wednesday. Wouldn,t you know it, I was able to fold the lights down and it just barely makes it into the garage!!!From what I can see if I wanted to remove the lights  I would use a key to unlock the end cap of the bar (the #on the cap reads E004) the lights should then slide off of the bar. In the meantime I will just leave them folded. At least that way I have the option of using them.  Thanks for your replys .   Doug

I finally figured out how to add a picture to my post. Now I have to figure out how to make it smaller!!!  As you can see the lights are folded down to get into the garage.

Doc Olds -> RE: Roof Rack Lights (8/28/2007 7:32:31 PM)

Nice pic, nice truck too.  Ok, I have to ask.  ..............if I don't somebody will, might as well be me????[8|] 
Uh,---- what's up with the zip ties and the little sticks popping up off each end of the brush guard???  New kinda antennas or retro snowplow marker things that us old guys don't know about yet?[:D][:D][:D]

dizzy -> RE: Roof Rack Lights (8/28/2007 7:42:13 PM)

Actually the "little sticks" are larger zip ties. When I first got the hummer 2 weeks ago I had a hard time seeing the front corners when parking between cars. This is just an aid (temporary). In person they are not very noticible being black.
