WTB: Rally light mounts...

Wondering if anyone would happen to have a set of rally light mounts (the ones that mount on the bonnet)

I have 2 Hella 500 driving lights, but nothing to mount em to.

So If you have a set laying around shoot me a pm if you want them to disappear...

I've got a set of factory Driving light brackets that I can make you a heck of a deal on. Just call me.

Which grill do you have? I may have a solution for you (my bonnet 500s are direct mount)

Right now I have the Aero grill, I suffered the pain of cutting the grill but what do you have I might still be interested in the mounts if they will work.
-Thanks

I drilled a hole on the regular grill, there are smooth vertical tabs behind the slats, and mounted the 500s direct.

But I don't believe this is an option with the Aero grill, however here is a solution for the R56 honeycomb that I believe could be reasonably adapted to work on the R53 Aero grill, would just require a little thought and a trip to the hardware store.

I have the hella 500's set up on my mini with brackets from the website below.

Best part was there was no drilling involved.

I also have Hella 500s and when I enquired about those very same brackets they said that the lights were so big (i.e. not "low profile") that they would rub on the bonnet when it was opened/closed. How do your's fit?

They will rub a "bit" on the bonnet, I am only in there about once a week anyway so it wasn't a big deal for me. If you watch ebay you can find the brackets for cheaper than listed on the website.

I like the combo!

How did you mount those Hellas in the center like that? The VIP mounts seem to be separated more, but I like the option of moving them abit closer together

Ahh...thanks. Could you possibly take some pictures from various angles for me? Side, bonnet up, etc...

That may be just what I'm looking for!
