R56 "rally lights"/"spot lights"

Does anyone have any good links to some affordable lights of these sorts? I've been searching for the past hour and found a few sites but they were kind of pricey I found a site on eBay that has them for $115 plus shipping just wondering if anyone else bought these aftermarket where there r56 for a good price? Thanks!

I put a pair of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-WIPAC-STAI...eV2UTQ&vxp=mtr on several yrs ago and they've held up well. You can make your on brackets if you're handy (see my gallery).

Checked out your gallery you did an amazing job with the bracket I don't know if I am that resourceful and if I would be able to pull that off perhaps with your help letting me know exactly what you used to make the brackets maybe I can see if I can make them then I can purchase those very lights

Sorry, it's been a while since I made those but, basically, they're just 1/8" steel with a right angle at one end to go thru the grill and curved to fit the backside of the grill. They're held in place by 2 bolts that pass thru the grill. They were a little fiddly to make and get the curve and angle right. You need a big vise on your workbench (and a hammer) to make everything fit.
