first let me start by saying, i know that this is not a lot of people's personal preference, and well i don't really care about making this car look anything even resembling show quality. since i will be driving this car in rallyx, driving it off road, and running the canyons at night, these lights will come in rather handy.

basically i had these lights that i bought for my last car, but never had the chance to install them. i went and got some materials from home depot for the light bar, cut them to length, and got all the necessary wiring and connectors. i had a guy at work weld the steel together for the bars and then this weekend i installed everything this weekend. still have some things to finish up tonight, but its about 85-90% done. i wired everything so that i can run my low beams, high beams, and all four fog lights at the same time. all i know is that the people in the house at the end of the street must have hated me last night cause them lights was bright as hell. oh, and i got two other little foglights that are sitting around that i'll install later in the spots where stock fog lights would go.

Nice, show us difference with / without these extra lights from driverŽs position ..

I think that at least two of them must burn not directly but wide so youŽll see around a corner ..

will do, just need to get some time to aim them the way i want, then i'll post up pics.

you are correct on the lights. the 500's are meant to be a fog light that "fans" out the light and covers a wider area. the 500 FF's are the clear lenses and the reflectors in the back of the light is what directs the light like in most modern headlights. the FF's have a more straight ahead beam. i put the hid style bulbs in the FF's and i'm really contemplating getting another set for the 500's since they are def whiter and brighter. hell the FF's are actually brighter than my headlights.

i plan on moving the FF's to the outside of the bar and the 500's to the center. i also plan to angle the 500's a little bit for better light around corners. its pretty much how mercedes and bmw have corner illumination. i tried it on another car and its amazing the difference it makes. the first couple times i went around corners with them on it freaked me out cause i almost thought another car was coming.

Wow look at that! So... umm.. everytime you want to use them, you'll need to take off the lids manually?


pretty much, but they help protect the lenses from getting chipped/broken from crap flying up just driving around normally. i also heard from someone that in california you are required to have the covers on while driving around town. the black covers also help make it look a little more stealth, but i must say i really like the look of them without the covers. biggrin.gif
