Warning/Safety-Light Mount - Above roof rack!

At times for work I need to throw a yellow LED warning light on the roof of my rig ('07 SR5), it has magnetic feet for "easy" mounting. Problem here is that it is basically hidden inside my OEM roofrack/crossbars and rear spoiler.

Does anyone have a source on where I can get a taller light, or either extension feet for this thing (magnetic), or a mount that is somewhat easy to put on/take off for the crossbar?
It needs to go up probably 6-8 inches to be visible over the rear spoiler.

This is not an everyday thing, so the easier the better, I'm not looking for permanent mods or installs. I could engineer something, but I figured I'd ask you fine folks here first. My best two to three hours searching the internet has yielded no suitable results.

Thanks.

Good point. I don't have the exact manufacturer or model, but it is similar to this one here: Mini Emergency 12" LED Light Bar - Magnetic Surface Mount - 360deg Safety Strobe Light - 12V Plug | Super Bright LEDs

It has the two magnetic feet, but the dimensions I'm sure are different. Hope that helps a bit. Figured there might be a more universal clamp-on-to-crossbar style of mount with a metal plate that I can stick the light on to...

I'm guessing by hidden you mean from the sides right.

I believe these mount on the factory rails and stick up higher and are steel so magnets should hold.

Yeah. The light can only be seen from the front. Barely from the sides, and not at all from the rear.
