Those turnbuckles are available in a variety of metals and so are the end pieces. Also, all those parts (turnbuckles and end rod ends) are available in different lengths and configurations. It's pretty cool.
To look, go to www.hobbytown.com and type 'turnbuckle' in the search bar. I was amazed at all the options. Some of the rods are bent, most are straight. The rod ends can be had in different offsets. Hobby Town is just a local store for me, so I was able to go in and dig through their inventory to find what I wanted. If you wanted to do something similar to my setup, you may be able to use a shorter rod and attach it from underneath.
I bought several lengths....I updated link to include additional pictures that would use the base of the light to add a bracket which would allow you to mount stabilizer bars. You could also bend a metal bar, then screw it to the top of your light and tie it back to the car, but it wouldn't be as easily adjustable. http://s241.photobucket.com/user/kingofwylietx/library/Light brackets
I plan to do Virgil's aiming process before permanently attaching my struts. This will get me in the neighborhood of proper aim. As long as I get it close, I can ensure that I don't overshoot the adjustable range of the rod ends when I take the truck to have them electronically aimed.
