Just buy cheaper lights... Mine cost $15 each, so if someone takes one, oh well

How many thieves do you know that carry around a set of torix headed bits? Most of the ones around here carry around phillips and flatheads.

I thought about doing some kind of light security....but without a welder it got me thinking back to the ol' days of High School metalshop. One possible solution might be to install the lights and then drill a small hole all the way through the nut/bolt and gently tap in some small diameter rod........there aint no way in helll the bolt/nut can come loose unless you get a center punch and tap that dowl back outta there............
