Mounting Baja S8 to Prinsu Rack?

Anybody have this combo? I have the Prinsu mounting brackets as well as the ones that came with the 40" S8. I see a few different options for mounting and I'm not sure which one is ideal.

Mount the Prinsu brackets to the silver bar holding the wind faring? Mount to the first (black) crossbar in the horizontal position or mount to the first black crossbar in the vertical position?

And then there's the actual bracket orientation. You can mount it so it's point up or down. I've tried holding the light in place and flipping the mounts around to various positions but I'm not sure which one is best. None of them really get the light bar sitting in the actual opening cut into the faring...

If I mount to the silver bar holding the faring, the light bar sits kinda below the faring opening and is partially covered. So that doesn't seem ideal to me. If I flip the mounts around so they point up, then the bar sits too high. If I mount to the first crossbar then the light bar is too far away from the faring. But maybe if I flip the crossbar and mount it vertically it might be the preferred way?

Thanks, but I have brackets already from Prinsu. Just trying to figure out where to put 'em. But I'll keep these in mind if I don't have any luck, thanks. It also looks like your light bar is mounted so that the faring covers part of the light? Or is that just the angle of the photo?

fairing covers a tiny bit of the bottom. helps eliminate hood reflection. i have the prinsu bracket and had it mounted to my fairing previously. it was higher up.

Ok thanks, I'll grab a pair of those and give 'em a go.

I wound up using the mounts from CaliRaisedLED. Fit the rack perfectly and the light bar is in a pretty good position. I could be a little lower but it looks good and so far no wind noise but I haven't had it up to highway speed yet.
