No, I haven't.

"But just where do the power & water for the rear wiper run up on the left side?", is what I am thinking.

If you still run your third brake light just mount a small LED light on top of it. Not as pretty, but a hell of a lot less hassle.

I'm with Banshee, the wiper system runs up the left side, it would be very easy to damage them cutting into the hardtop.

If you ever take your hard top of for summer you'd be better mounting them on/in the bumper or spare tyre, probably easier too. Just my 2c worth.

Yep, i'm going to be mindful of the wires and the hose in there. I just wondered if anyone had any info on it.

Once i have this or a cut hole i'll post it up for future reference.

I think i'll put a boroscope up there to see whats going on first. I don't mind going the extra mile to get the lights where i want them. Down low on the bar there are too many shadows plus you get one hell of a hotspot in your rear view camera. Up high all is good.

I take the roof off in summer, that's why i bought two sets of lights. One pair for the hard top and one for bar mount, i have a Switch Pros so when the Hard top is on i dim the bar mount down to 5% (for boot space lighting), when the hard top is off i set it at 100%
