aux lighting security?
for those of you with aux lighting, do you secure your lights against theft?
something like:
something like:
Secure your IPF Auxiliary Lights against theft by fitting Barri Nuts to your lights. Each Barri Nut Lock Kit comes with two M12 X 1.75-threaded Barri Nuts and a special key that permits the Barri Nuts to be threaded and unthreaded. Similar to lock nuts for wheels, the Barri Nuts are individually keyed to prevent unauthorized access to your auxiliary lights.

You should be committed enough to your aux lighting to use nuts and bolts like these that shear off once tightened completely:

I've heard it happen here a few times but then again I'm in the BIG CITY.
Those locks look cool but I'd be afraid that the thief would just get pissed off and trash you're lights anyway since he couldn't get'em off. At that point you're out lights AND the money for those expensive little locks.

well, lets see here
My windshield lights: 2 bolts holding the light to the mount bracket, 1 bolt holding the bracket to the mopar mount, and 3 torx holding the mopar bracket to the windshield frame.
So that would require 3 of those special nuts, and even still the thief could just remove the entire mopar bracket and be gone with the entire setup

I'll take my chances. Don't really want Barri's Nuts next to my lights. Or actually anywhere near my Jeep or me. :P Just kidding. Good idea if you worry about them. It is sad that we have to do things like this, but people are jerks. I'm not that worried about mine, but if I lived where I used to I would have some of these.
