new twist on large driving lights

thought i would pass along my idea for driving lights. IPF 7" using mini-madness brackets. had severe jitter due to size and bulk of lights. used heim joints to the SC intake. if anyone is interested in more info, i'd be glad to share. see my gallery.

That's kind of like a 5'10", 110 pound woman with D cups.

Those must light up everything. Do you even need headlights when those are on?

Well, let see them lit up!

I'm running Hella 500s that are 6+" but much lighter I'm interested to see how this differs in pattern and visibility. (Call it curiosity because I'm in the process of adding two more 500s to round out the look I want)

I like the brackets. They may not be "pretty" but they are purposeful and therefore have a rightful place on your bonnet.
