DIY Driving Light Brackets

Here's some pics of my DIY driving light install. I got the idea from the PIAA lights, but couldn't see spending $300+ just for lights. The lights are from MossMini ($80), and I made the brackets from .150" 6061-T6 aluminum plate. I still need to do the wiring, but for $80 and an afternoon's time, you can save a bunch of money. And, being mounted to metal, instead of the plastic grille, they're pretty solid, so not a whole lot of jiggle.

I have patterns for the brackets and the bends, if anyone else wants to give it go... You'll need some sort of torch (plumber's, welding, etc.) to anneal the aluminum so you can bend it, a vise for bending and a drill. PM me if you're interested.
