New lights

Here are my new lights I had installed this week. They are Neolites from India, halogen lights @ 100 watts each. Super bright I guess there is more things to hit in India.

Lights

Unfortunately I don't. I got the lights from a guy in Canada on e-bay a couple of years back. I found the company website an e-mail them for a North American distributor, but they never e-mail me back. So have to be careful with them, right now theres no way of replacing them.

Love them! I too have amber fog/driving lights. That color looks cool with your color MINI.

Good job.

Is that the OEM front bumper? It looks cooler than I remember. Or maybe I just haven't been very observant.

I'm digging the amber with the purple.

Thanks for the kind words guys, the front bumper is a Zeemax CSS kit.

Londo - how did you go about installing the light bracket with the lower grille? Looking sharp!

Hi Blackx5
Wish I could take credit installing them, but the guys at Bay Bridge Motors here in Oakland, Ca put them on. The bar came with a set of instructions and pictures on how to do it.

I installed mine myself with the instructions from the kit. If you call alta they can send you a better set that is a little more detailed but the bar is exactly the same. The install is not that hard at all, you just pull the front bumper and bumper support and then simply drill and bolt the brackets to the support, run wiring, cut holes in the lower grill for the support, and mount the lights. Its really not that hard trust me.

Both look really nice.

But, do either of you have a nice pic that shows the bar a little better?

look at the bar at alta or moss. they are exactly the same bar but a little closer to the grill. I wish mine was a little more flush. I think im cut about an inch out of the middle of this bar to make it pull into the grill more. This piece is longer in the ebay one.

Hi BlackX5
I've never seen a two lamp light bar before, just brackets. Check out Outmotoring.com they have brackets that fit on the bumper.

Being a huge LSU fan, I've got to say, those colors together are AWESOME!! I've got ambers/REAL "fogs" and I love the contrast of the yellow on Electric Blue.

Geaux Tigers!!!!
