2016 tower lights interfere with Bimini boot?

Gibbs, can't tell how much space you have in the corner. The Z5 goes back about 18-20" but i think the angle would let the light shine into the wake. Might be nice to not have the light shine onto back seat area.
I had ordered the Axis full length bar but it doesn't work, if you want light to face backward, so your only options may be on each side, like mine or on transom (I wouldn't do that).

Agreed on the great install @6Wakesurfers! That is just what I was thinking. Have you put the stock bimini on with that setup? Any issues with the bimini boot?

Standard Bimini goes on with no problem. Its Really the perfect spot, out of the way, rope doesn't snag either. I need to change the screw to stainless, it's getting a little oxidized.

Here's the pic of the lights. I chose the ones with two rows and not as wide as the one in you image. You'll see that I mounted it to the corner bracket. It's nice and close inside the corner and can't get snagged on rope. This could be mounted to face forward for those that would rather be seeing forward when they drive in the dark. LOL! At first I had bad hum in my speakers when lights were on but we were able to fix it by grounding independently.

Did the mounts for the lights come with the lights? Or did you purchase the mounts separately?

Has anyone see the lights mounted on the tower from the factory?

I haven't but I would like to. I was gonna get it but knew I could do cheaper aftermarket and also wasn't sure about having it with the rev 410's and Z5

I've seen the rear facing small LEDs on Malibu from factory. My dealer said the the light bar shown on Axis website from factory, faces forward. I wanted lights to light up the wake.

I am just curious where and how it is mounted. I don't really see a good way to mount them with the factory bimini deployed.
