I sure this must be a common fault with ARB bull bar spot light lower mounts.I have just taken off the cheap Chinese rubbish spotties and replaced them with ones of higher standard. The problem is the same as with the old spotties the mounts are that low on the bar that you can not mount the spotties and then try to point them in a downward position.So I have had to cut 15mm spaces to lift them so I can get some tilt.This also means you have to buy longer bolts to mount the lights.I would have thought that ARB would have thought about this before manufacture.Other than this I am happy with the Bull bar.Any body else had this problem?

Yep had the same prob but it wasn`t a ARB bar. So its probably across the board type thing. You would think at the price of em they would get it right.

have a look at the range of lights that particular place sells and I think you will find that the brand name one's they sell (with huge mark up) fit, funny that! ! !

Had the same issue on
mine when i replaced the spotties although not an ARB bar i think it is a common problem, my mate also had the issue with an ARB bar, one way to overcome it is too get a piece of flat steel and bolt to the original brackets, although you still need longer bolts you can also fit more lights across the front.
