Abstract: A kit for a light bar for providing auxiliary illumination for a vehicle. Some such light bars typically include several visible-light flood lights and also infrared illuminators. The visible-light flood lights can be provided as high-intensity discharge lights or as LEDs. The infrared illuminators are provided as LEDs. A switch box is provided for use in the cabin of the vehicle for turning on and off the lights. A light bar, typically a front light bar, can be provided with strobe lights in place of some of the flood lights. A shield may be provided as part of a front light bar to protect the lights when not in use, and to keep the lights from striking the front of the vehicle.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system and method for monitoring and controlling the operation of a motorized convertible top such that it may be extended and retracted automatically. The system and method of the present invention monitors the movement of the various components to provide fluid, simultaneous motion. It further detects and corrects improper alignments that may result in damage to the top due to overlapping elements or binding elements, and stores error information useful in diagnosing and repairing unrecoverable errors.
