Default check out my Hella fogs

I know alot of u wont like these but I think they kick A__

Mounted everthing to a piece of electric conduit and then bolted it up to the underside of the bumper.

wiring was pretty straight forward and put switch in the dash. its a little low, but it was an easy mount without pulling the dash apart.

I through in pick of my ipod mount just for ha ha s

let the mud slinging begain...............

Nice switch install. Is that a hunk of Uni-Strut you've got them mounted on? And how is that mounted to the car?
I agree w/Lupae, but also they seem to be pointed too far down, unless that's just the angle of the picture?
I like your choice of wheels.

They seem to be uneven and closer to the drivers side? Is that just the angle?

Yeah, some adjustment seems to be necessary.Do you have room?They also seem a little big for the car, or at least the space you have available in there.
They are a pendant mount right? From my experience, all lighting requires periodic adjustment especially the pendant mounts. How will you adjust them as they are mounted now?
I lovedthe Carellopassing lights I had on my Honda, also a pendant mount, but they were hard to adjust.I finally created an access hole in the lower bumper to get to the nut. A cut-out in the Uni-Strut may be necessary for your set up. Or consider replacing it w/some angle iron.

Yes u r correct.

It is unistrut, used 3 #12 screws to hook to bumper. they were pointing a little down.

I worked so long yesterday I didnt have anything left in me. Feeling fresh this morning I went to depot and got longer screws and some spacers and fixed the alignment. You can adjust them back and side to side. They are pretty tight, so I dont think I will have to adjust them often. I had a set on my truck and I never adjusted them once I had them installed.

I could move them out about another 3" futher apart. I'll see, maybe down the road. Try em like this for now.

The spacing is centered, I think it the angle of the photo that makes it look closer to the drivers side.

IT NICE BEING OUT ON SHORT TERM DISABLIITY.... SIX MORE WEEKS OF NO WORK AND ALL PLAY

I thought you trimmed the bumper coverso that putting it back would not be possible?
