Default I got my lights installed! However....No more soft top! :((

So i got my lights installed and I am more in love with my JK than ever! However... I noticed with light bar (Body armor JK-6126) And the lights it does not let me push the top off. the bolts of the lights hit it and not sure what to do now ://. I love the look but i love driving with the top down (MIAMI). Any ideas on how i can fix it? Was thinking about cutting the bolts.

Thanks Guys!

Can you take a picture of you setup? I had the same problem with my rugged ridge light bar and I was able to tweak it enough to get the top to slide past.

I was able to push my lights forward a bit, effectively aiming them at the ground 100ft in front of me and this also let my top fold back without hitting. I will take a picture of the mounting for you when I go to lunch. I have the Rugged Ridge light bar.

Take a couple pictures up close so we can see where bolts are contacting.

I cant flip the bolts because they are connected to the light its self. I was thinking possibly heating up the light bar and pushing it forward a little, but what about he wiring in it?

I'd say unbolt the center bar there (I'm guessing there's a bolt on the passenger side too) and rotate it 180* those tabs should probably be facing front.
