Talking Yellow Roof Lights?! How...Where...?

Hey guys!

I see all these H2's with roughly 4-5 small yellowish/orangeish lights on their roofs above the front windshield and it looks great especially when it's night.

I can't seem to find where I would buy these for my H3. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've attached a couple of photos so you know what I'm talking about.

Thanks guys!

Those running lights were a factory option. Mine has them.
They were also available as a dealer installed option.
They were also available as a self install kit.

They are no longer made. GM has no stock left. Your only hope is that an occasional set shows up on Ebay once in a while but they are $$$$$. Beware of buying used ones that have already been installed. They mount with Rivenut fasteners that stay behind on the vehicle it comes off of. You would need a set of those fasteners to be able to mount it to your vehicle and they aren't easy to find either. The fasteners also require a special tool to install the Rivenuts to the roof.

A clone is available from G-Style at $1200, but i haven't heard of anyone buying a set, so I have no clue on the quality of those

What Bunger said.

The other option is, you buy a set of individual aftermarket lights, installing each separately in a similar pattern (or make your own pattern) then wire them together and tap the running light/headlight circuit (or wire a separate switch) to power. There are some guys that have done this and made the results look pretty darn good.

I've heard of a couple flying off. I would install the individual lights directly to the roof instead of that plastic panel.

After considering this mod myself, then I finally said f___ it.
Not worth the hassle and expense.

If you look at the pics that you've posted, it is the one in the middle that the 3 marker lights we're installed.

Still not following man. It looks like the eBay link you posted had all 5 lights, so I just don't know what's missing. Sorry mate!
