Lightbar and Hella 500's

Took forever but it's finally done. Just need to aim them and I'll be all set.

 

Very nice. Where does the bar mount?

 

It mounts to the bolts/studs for the bumper beam and I drilled and tapped the underside of the bumper beam to make sure there will be no bouncing. It's strong enough that I can stand on it and it doesn't move so I don't think bouncing lights will be a problem.

 

I don't know about the grill but I may have plans for a camera mount I can add to the bar.

 

Looks good dan. You need one to fill that gap in the middle now!

Do you have these hooked up just to a switch or did you wire them in to work with the high beams?

 

hmmm... may have to look into this idea....

 

Just a switch. I like to be able to use them to supplement my low beams on the back roads.

 

A few more and we just might get you confused with Carl. LOL

Looks great, and congrat's! Big BossMan!

 

Boomer whats the price on a light bar? Or can we make one over at your place one day, I wanna mimic a bar I saw on Nasioc.

 

I would like to add a light bar and some lights to my car for the ice races as well.

 

I may have to do this too.... hmmmm.... mid November - early December I should have a functioning workshop... yes... muhahahahah.. creations to come

 

nice dan!

 

Now that I have built one, more shouldn't be too bad to make. Fabbing the first of anything is hugely time consuming. Shoot me a pm if you want to get together to get something built. I'm working on making a wheel carrier for getting to the rallycrosses next I think.

 

Nice work Dan.

You will really like the extra coverage for rural driving.

I know of a car you can use to mock up one for the bugeyes...

 

Nice work Dan! Love the new look. Now you look AND drive like a true rally guy (nice work at the last rallyx).

 

Which model Hella lights did you use???

 

I added 2 more to the bar.


Centers 500FF (driving beam)
Outer 500 (driving beam) The older 500's are less focused
The centers are pointed for distance, and I use the outer lights for cornering lights and spotting deer in the ditches on the back roads.

 

Do you like your set up because im planning on doing the same thing on my WRX? Im just not sure what kind of Hella lights I should use? And also were you able to buy your lights locally and where abouts???

 

Walmart around here has the hella's, im sure most do.^^

 

I'm really happy with this set up. Plenty of light and makes it much more enjoyable when working night rally stages or running the back roads up north.

Walmart has the 500FF's. I don't think they carry the older style 500's anymore. I found them on sale for $55. Usually they are $65

 

Ok! Thank you very very much!!! I appreciate the help!

 

No problem.
