I have seen roof racks, but none that would allow for HID's....There are custom rack made by members themselves, but are there any companies that sell them?

Roof racks with Lights
To incorperate HID's you'd have to have somewhere to store all the ballasts. So 4 lights, 4x ballasts. You would need a watertight compartment incorperated into the basket.
To my knowledge, nobody does and HID baskets. You'd have to be creative with your own.

Check out RRO's setup. They have the entire roof setup with custom side rails, cross bars, basket and bar for the lights.
I had a yakima roof basket with 4 lights on top (I assume they were mopar) until it was stolen. I didn't notice much window noise and it looked hella-sweet.
I made mine. I love it. 6.5" lights and absoluley no extra noise. Its silent going down the road.

I ran the wiring down the black molding strip on the roof all the way to the engine compartment then i wired them to a wireless transmitter. I didnt want to drill into the dash of my newish car so the transmitter was an easy fix. It was $15 on ebay, I push a button on a remote and the lights come on. I push it again, they go off.
Thats a great idea to use a transmitter. I'll def look into that when it comes time.

I didnt want to drill holes because I was sure that eventually they would leak. weather it was next day or 3 years from now. I didnt like the idea of drilling into my roof OR my dash. Thats why I did the wireless transmitter and ran the wires under the trim on the roof and alondside the windshield.
