H3 08 h3 oem cab lights

[RLEATH]

I know that this topic has been run into the ground....BUT...Basically I have the same problem that everyone else has had...My Cab lights blew off while i was driving down the interstate and now i'm basically stuck with the two outside cab lights and 5 holes/bolts sticking out of my roof....Which Looks horrible and makes this $20k HUMMER look like a $500 van....I have read all about going with flush mounted cab lights in lieu of the $800 replacement and I'm all for it....HOWEVER...what the heck do i do about all these holes w/rivets in my roof? I have to leave the Bolts screwed in otherwise the wind/water will get in....How can you cover these up or hide them? You would have to use 6 or 7 lights to cover the corners and all the holes.....ANY SUGGESTIONS on how i can make it look decent and not just fill the holes w/ silicone? Thanks and God Bless!

Grab a used one from the junkyard for $50, and bolt it on. If you can't find one...let me know.

What are the dimensions you need to cover up?

(length X width)

Maybe one of the single piece center sections from a set of after market lights would do the trick should you not be able to procure any OEM stuff.

They would be hard to match probably.......

Something along these lines:

You can get a set of OEM roof mounted off road lights for about $300 on eBay. I would think they're about the same dimensions.

Are you not able to re-use the piece that blew off?

None of the Junkyards within 100 mile radius have any at all....the total length of the roof I need to cover from the outside of each bolt hole is 42", the longest aftermarket light I have seen on ebay is 39" which would still leave two rivet holes not covered and would basically be a waste of time. Im at work and dont currently have a pic with me so i'm gonna post one from another H3 that is having the same exact problem so you will have an idea of the spacing involved. The holes are where the Black round bolts are on the pic below...6 in all, two about 3 inches apart on each side, and 2 about 8-10 inches apart in the middle.

I'd contact GM support center since they told us that our Hummers would be supported

Try a 3000 mile radius.

I suggest contacting one of our sponsors to se if they are able to come up with a replacement. If none of then can, try gorecon.com, rubberduck4x4.com, predatorinc.com, or trailduty.com, to see if they are willing to make a replacement.

I contacted rubberduck4x4 a few years back to make one that didn't have to be removed to replace the windshield. Problem was there wasn't enough intrest for him to spend his time on it. He may be willing now.

I'd be interested in one that doesn't have to be removed to replace the windshield. It's too easy for them to mess it up and not take responsibility for messing up your roof. It happened to me and probably happened to you causing yours to fly off going down the freeway.

I'd think one with flush LEDS may look pretty good up there.

Just checking. Have you gotten anywhere with this?
