    Spot/fog light brackets

    I have a late-model Highlander which has the Honda crash/light bar but no OEM spotlights.

    I'm thinking of installing some Denali lights and would like to utilise the mounting-points (bolt holes) on the inside of the crash bar to mount the light brackets rather than using generic clamp-type brackets which go around the bar.

    Bit of a long shot but does anyone know of any light brackets which are compatible with the mounting holes on the bar?
    Failing that does anyone have a picture or photo of the Honda OEM light brackets (I can't find one anywhere on t'internet) to give me an idea of what I'd have to fabricate if I made some brackets myself?

    Hi Brum,
    I have used a SW Motech clamp brackets many times for various bikes and spotlights. They are universal and comes with different thickness of rubber pieces to work with different bar diameters . The Ref is SW Motech NSW.00.004.13000/B. Worth a look.
    The info on the official website is misleading as they list pages of different bike models but the bracket ref. is the same for 90% of them!, (only a GS uses a different bracket). The price is a little salty as a few on here have bought complete spot light kits for similar money.

    The mounting brackets for the OEM spotlights look unnecessarily complicated. I'm sure you could make something simpler and functional with some aluminium plate.

    Or SW Motech does a fitting kit for that bolts under the cowl stay where your lightbar is. You could perhaps utilise the brackets that bolt to that and adapt them to the mounting holes in the lightbar, if fitting them normally will interfere with the bar. Or perhaps elongate the mounting holes so that the brackets sit slightly above or below the bar.

    Tom, Hound,
    Many thanks for your helpful and detailed suggestions, much appreciated.
    Looks like it's SW-Motech for me then!

    Thanks again
