Do you have any pictures of your custom brackets?

I want to add lights, but don't want to cut my Aero Grill....

thanks!

***** Edit - I cut that grill like it was my job - no problems. *****

Hella FF1000 - had to make custom bracket extensions - the back of the light extents back a bit from the mounting point. I love them!

Well this is probably going to require me to dig up some photos but I saw a PW with three, I'm looking to do 2 driving lights and 2 fogs, but I've got other mods planned first.

Where is the best place to install the switch for driving lights? Has anyone used the area next to the tire pressure button?

My after-market driving light switch is on the left side on the steering column, and I can see it's reflection in the driver's door handle, which is cool.

I mounted mine here below the toggle switches. Mine is wired a bit differently as I wanted easy control to turn them on and off in a hurry if there was an aproaching car. The driving light circuit will not function without the high beams being on. Once I have the high beams lit I can then arm that center button and my drivers will work in conjunction with the high beamsn both on and off ,all on the one switch. If I only want the high beams I do not hit the " arm " switch for the drivers. Again this is not the way some may want it but it works for my driving needs.

It would be nice to see some pics. I've never really looked but I have never seen any like that either. I'm sure I was not the only one. I had them done like that back in 03.

I'm looking and thus far only found yours, I do distinctly remember seeing a PW with three at night, possibly in LV.

Hella Optilux 2500s with "angel eyes" on Outmotoring bonnet-mount brackets - these are nice and small, and feature black (not chrome) housings. The ring-lights are cool white LEDs and are controlled via a 3-way switch. Cost less than $60 from many places and feature 55W driving beams, just like higher-priced units:

That is dope!, my favorite so far because it's like the old school Minis in front of the grill.

That's really sweet looking. Do you think it might be more functional having the fogs on the outside and the driving lamps on the inside? I'm assuming the amber "fogs" are wired seperately.
