    Iss there any headlight conduit that works with the king bee brand headlight. If not, has any one fabricated a conduit set to thread onto their lights?

    There should be a compatible conduit that threads on the stud where my wire travel through. I dont mind paying for the right one, i just am not sure which ones to get

    I agree with VoodooTwin and ev88f. I used the stainless water lines from Lowe's on my T Bucket headlights. They have the threaded ends. Just get the right length and thread them on. They look killer.

    I have used it in the past. It is getting harder to find as the braided stainless is now taking over at the plumbing supply houses

    The cleanest setup I saw, was a guy here in MN cut a groove in his stanchions, welded in a stainless tube in the groove, polished it all.

    I ran braided stainless from Speedway. Throw away the mounting bolt that came with the lights. One threaded end of this setup is long enough to p*** up thru the bottom of the light housing and the nut goes on inside.
    I threaded the frame to accept the short end. There is a little hole drilled in the side to help keep it from turning without putting a wrench on it.
    These are very nice but are about double in price since I bought them.
    The pic on my car is ****py cause it was a blow.
