roof light bar?

anyone know where i can get a roof light bar? and does anyone know if they look decent on 04's. i love the way the old school 150's look with them. but i cant seem to find one. also how would you route the wiring from the lights into the cab without creating a water leak?

Another option that you could be interested in is the Cab-Top Light Mount:

I thought about a roof bar for my truck. I needed extra light for when I go somewhere and there's not a whole lot of light like to the mountains, offroading, highways, etc. My truck is stock on the exterior and plan to keep it that way until I get more money. Have you considered putting offroad driving lights behind your grill? I recently did that, put four 6" driving lights back there and they work great! Here's what they look like...http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2961992/13

Just have to bolt a little wider steel plate on it and there you go, a larger "custom-made" Cab-Top Light Mount.
As i can see in the pictures of the other thread, there's enough space on the stock bracket to mount 3 lights facing front.

I've considered mounting a Thule rack up there with lights sort of like Impact9, but I don't have the shell so it'd be over my cab. I just don't think I'd use the rack and can't justify buying one at around $500 plus lights. I barely fit in a parking deck as is.

I was just about to suggest JJG's truck. I have seen his setup in person and its really sharp; however I have not seen him around here in a while

I want something similar, I want a bed bar/ roll bar type. But I want to still have my tool box pretty close to the back window, anyone know where I can get something like that?
