auxillary lights with homemade mounts...

ok, they're not really home made... but, i didn't spend more than 20 bucks on them,total. :D

i bought these at ace hardware.. they were bare metal(they are pictured as black b/c i dipped them in 'Plasti Dip').




mounted them on the front bumper...




and now with both on...




total time.. about 30min's to install, once the mounts were dipped and i had the correct nuts/bolts. I still have to wire them though...

EDIT:

finished product overall...

Man you are definately leading the night ride. Gotta love the plastic coat

the bumper lights are Hella 500's... which are 55w. should do great as a back up to the lightbar.



i figured i would ride in the back and light up everything for everyone else...

Hey Wheels those come with covers? I like the mounts...those could be used for lots of add ons...

yes, they came with white/black covers... i didn't put them on for the pic... you know anything about wiring? i've got to wire these things up and if i do it by myself... it will take me hours...

lookin good

huh??


oh and Telli... I couldn't buy a 10yr old Vette with the money i've spent all that... who you trying to kid???

I know my rzr buddy wired a set very similar to his head lights - they all come on at once - but is that a bad thing?

should just be as simple as splicing the headlight wires - and the pig tails off the new one and merging them - WITH A TON OF TAPE

rc... it was recommended that i use the relay/wiring harness that came with the lights... b/c of the load... i'd personally like to just wire it straight to the battery with a fuse in line somewhere... that way i'd be able to turn them on even when the Rhino is off. but, i know that could be a bad thing too though. so... i'm not sure. i'll think about it for a day or so... then take care of it.

Wheels, do you have two batterys? If using the stock battery be carefull you don't pull it down to low to start your rhino. The stock charging sys wont keep up with all your lights.I added a 900 amp car battery in between the shock towers & use a car fuse pannel to pull from. I have ran my lights 6 hr with no problems. I hope this helps. :)

I have the same lights on the front of my Jeep. I was a little concerned about how long they would last but its been 3 years now and I use them every morning. They work great and hold up very well.
