2 hour driving light install (with pics)

[magicmike]

ok first off for those of you who dont know i used to be an installer. I was actually pretty good if I dont say so myself back in the day. Funny how freezing your ass off and just wanting to get something done half assed just to get it done can make you work below your normal quality level. My point with the whole 2 hour thing is normally it would have taken me probably at least 4-6 hours to do a driving light install properly. I totally half assed it but it suites the purpose. I dont have my soldering iron so I cant install the switch but I have another temporarily working it. Here we go.

ok so i wanted some extra light..... go to pep boys and pick up a 30 dollar set of "off road" lights lol

They actually arent that bad believe it or not lol.

Pick up a piece of steel bar from home depot


Measure/bend/cut/drill



Drill holes in bumper


Mount bracket


Mount lights to bracket


Install license plate



Wire quite shittaly (no pics as to not ruin my rep)

Aim


Voila!

Hell, that's a brilliant job by any standard
You might consider painting the bracket, tho, it's gonna rust real quickly.
Nice light output!

I like it, and for two hours thats pretty good.

I remember years ago, before I really knew much about car stuff, spending all-day putting fogs on a buddies truck, in -25celcius, only to have him smash them off in a snow bank the next day........................"sigh"

I like it but I think it wont work well. The way you mounted the lights means that every bump will cause them to move around and loosen up.

Perhaps...but I'm betting on everything rusting up and holding together lol
