Annoying Light bar whistle - Hunty

[hunty]

Hi Guyz
I decided I needed a platform on my roof to Shoot off (film shooting not Pig shooting)
so I bought the bar installed it and the Misses says to me "are you going to put some lights on that bar or not?" - my plan was or not! - so to humour her I looked around for some lights - sadly most of the nice lights, HID or LED were very expensive - even basic 3200 tungsten lights were over $200 / pair - I walked into repco hornsby and they had some very nice metal & chrome Spotties on special for (beleive it or not) $27.00 / pair - so it would have been rude not to buy them!
wired them up with extra heavy duty cable. circuit breakers and relays and went for a drive!

What an awesome difference - having the lights up high really helps with the focus and beam alignment of the spotties. it has to be seen to be appreciated. I highly recommend having lights up high

ps - I just found out another bonus to having the lights up high and that is - when driving at night and you hit a big swarm of window mucking bugs , it appears to me that the bugs fly up to the lights and miss your screen!!!!

Problem - I now have an annoying whistle - I am playing around with some plastic and trying to make a deflector - any advice please!!!! comments please!
cheers Hunty

sounds silly but would a bonnet protecter like they have on trucks work. (they are normally coloured blue or red reference only so people know what I'm on about)... try something like that with some angled brackets for mounting it. Dono if this helps

On an individual light .... It can be something as simple as the angle a mounting/fastening screw is on - which just needs a twist.

With a bunch of lights up there ... I'd probably blame the lamp mounts.

Truck accessory places have the deflectors davesjeep mentioned ... but you can buy perspex from lots of places.

DownSouth recently posted up a home grown wind deflector for his JK rack. Just a section out of a PVC water pipe painted black and held on with a couple of clamps.

My JK also has a lot noise from the rack when fitted which I'd imagine would be similar to what you are getting Hunty, I've cut a section of pipe ready to go just have to get time to fit it. Here's a link to DownSouth's post: http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...postcount=1561
