The search continues.

A response from MBUSA as to where these came from.

Thank you for your recent internet inquiry. We apologize for the delay in
our response.

We appreciate your interest in the GL-Class. Mercedes-Benz USA does not
sell rally lights and we cannot recommend anywhere that would.

We appreciate the opportunity to correspond and solicit your understanding
for our limitations to assist you via e-mail. A complete list of authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealers may be helpful to you and can be found on our
website, http://www.mbusa.com

If we can be of any further assistance, please feel free to e-mail us again
or call us at 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1-800-367-6372).
Now, remember the photo is from a ride-n-drive event in CA earlier this year which was sponsor by MB.

FYI: from the other forums I learned that this is a Thule 696 expedition roof top carrier with Hella 500 lights atttached.

I ordered the carrier and received it and its exactly what was suggested. I'll do the modification with the lights and post photos when its done.

UPDATE: I bought the rack and finally got it put together. I bought the MB crossbars too however the bars are too big for the brackets. The photo above shows the rack with the basic carrier and not the crossbars which I think look better and more sleek. Photos to come.

AS, you've had it back what, a week or two? Any issues with the hose or is that a thing of the past (I hope.)
