whats up buddy,, we gotta do this to yours

 

Looks very good - nice job

Now, how do they work on dark twisties?

 

How did you wire them? Are they spliced into the headlamps or do they run off a new switch?

 

run off a swtich

 

we need more details.

compete DIY please.

 

yeah, getting answers here has been difficult so far.

 

ok guys i will take more pictures and do a write up over the weekend

 

jersey people can be like that.

looks good !

 

$40...they look every bit as good as the $450 mini version. Can't wait for details....they look great. Nice!

 

This is the kit i bought... notice the bottom part pivots ,, so all you need is a longer bolt, big washer and nut,, and it quick attachs to the grill

I think the mounting plates for Hella 500s work the same way. I'd love to give it a shot. The only issue is that I have a non-S Countryman and the grille bars are quite deep. I'm not sure if it would be possible to do on this type of grille. May just have to spend the $$ for a set of lights to give it a shot.

 

it will work,, and the set is only 36 bucks shipped and hardware maybe 5 bucks.. so 40 bucks and thats it.... it will work

 

saw the ebay post, pretty slim looking lights, i too have a non s and the ebay post doesnt show the mounting hardware.

 

Interested! But, does the lights already come with the mounts? If not, can you post a link to where I could find them. Thanks a million.

 

Didn't either of you look at the link the OP posted? The 'mounting hardware' is clearly shown and the OP clearly said that he used 'big washers & bolts' to mount it to his grille. This isn't hard to figure out....

 

what he said!

 

this is what it looks like mounted.. with a longer bolt big washer and nut

 

Did you use any type of rubber washer or bushing between the large washers and the grille? I'd be a little afraid of damage from vibration and rubbing (especially since mine is a non-S with the silver grille).

 

yes i got a rubber seal from home depot,, i ordered another seat, i think iam am going to 4 lights

 

thanks dude

 

wow, that mikey has a hair stuck somewhere... When something says brackets, you look for actual mounting hardware brackets, not a swivel with a bolt already attached to the lights... Now that new pics were posted of the actual mounting, we can clearly see how it was done and what is needed... Thanks snake for the pics
