Oh don't need the Yakima lighting. I'm totally ok with going with a different cheaper brand. I just haven't seen if there was a t-slot in the actual crossbar until now. Now this opens the door to adapt a light to it on the front and on the sides. I appreciate the insight from you and Sid. Trying to get it setup to do possible scene lighting at emergency service call outs where I respond to a scene direct.
Ok, I have the HD crossbars, and there is a nice slot down the center, top and bottom.
I have not seen mounting brackets for the bars, only the Yakima baskets.
You may need to adapt and go custom, No big deal, if you know any woodworkers it is referred to as "t-slot"
Basically you just need to experiment with bolt head size and washers to best fit the slot and then you may have to adapt (drill out) what ever mounting bracket works/comes with your choosen lights.
Lets be honest, with the cost of Yakima, the cost of a lot of off road LED lights and light bars, are you really willing to pay for Yakima lighting? haha.
