Default Over Head off road lights issue

ANyone have the OEM off road round 6" over head lights and have an issue with them when driving on the highway? I have been a bit lazy lately and I hate always having to fold them down, plus I think it looks great with them up, but when I am on the highway, it looks like they are going to snap off, every have this issue or and suggestions, other then fold them down??

snap off? tighten them when i had mine on i never felt like they was gonna snap off. Keep them up they make your truck stand out a bit more than other hummers.

Had the Mickey Mouse ears looking ones on the brushguard. Had to really crank them down tight or they would wind up folded back toward the truck.

When we bought our H2 (04) it came with the Stock roofLights, I removed the lights and installed (4) 10 inch XGT's Lightforce driving lights in place of those.....on the Hummer mounts

They have been through 2 Hurracanes, Night trips (tree limbs) in the woods,and many 80 to 90 MPH trips back and forth on the Turnpike and I-95.......they have never broke or came loose or folded down.......

They did fold down for a Low Garage door and parking Garage or they would have broke off..........Tighten them up........the mounts are stong and can take a beating......

Our H2 is on our web site listed below, as it stands today, except is has more BLING on it..

Id post our H2 and H3 on here but just dont know how to post them, on this site.....

Sweet! I tighten them tighter then a ................. today, took them on the highway at around 60 mph and didn't have any issues, guess I was a bit nervous of tightening them too tight and cracking the mounts. Thanks lads.

RickLF, sweet lights, I bet they lite up the darkness?!?
