Good looking mount and there is still room for a camera set up. How did you do the electrical?

Norcal, I will post pictures of my own LED lights mount as it answers a question of yours (here: http://www.real4x4forums.com/PinzgauerB ... f=9&t=8041).
As a picture is worth a thousand words, I will save myself some typing:

The mount is held in place by the bolts that hold the windshield hinges:

The little markers are here as a replacement for the parking lights, which I lost when I switched to Trucklite LED headlights. All wires go through the hole for the top bolt (passenger side) originally used to keep in place the antenna mast holders (which you used to mount your lights).
The LED bar is a Rigid Industries 50" bar, SR (Single Row) series.
I need to finish fabricating brackets to hold the light bar in place, the stock ones are too short and the windshield washer squirts the bottom of the light bar...

Where did you source the three pronged hole bolts? Not really sure what they are called.
Those look like a very secure way to keep the light bar on your vehicle.

I'm also curious about the fasteners you used. I've found drilled head machine screws with 2 holes at Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DD41CVG/ref=biss_dp_sa1 )
but I've never seen the 3 hole type.

It was a bit of a treasure hunt to find tamper-proof bolts in the right diameter and length, and for once I found a supplier on my side of the pond, in France: http://www.vis-antivandale.com/2-vis-antivol-metaux

They are not very well stocked, the prices are quite steep (even though I steered well clear of the titanium bolts) and they have an order minimum of EUR 50.00, but I ended up buying a few with the matching three-pronged bits.

While searching I found a few other suppliers in the UK or the US, but it was either sale in bulk by box of 100, or they did not have the right dimensions in metric.

Making it more than a 30-second job to take the mount or the light apart is definitely a good thing, these LED bars are not exactly given.
