Test fitting the light bar with Hella fog and driving lights. Want to be able to remove them because I don't want to be a cop magnet. Just an old Subaru, nothing to see here. When I get to the fire roads, I will take them out of the storage bin in the back under the floor, and mount them. Going to get a waterproof pin connector for the wires and a small lock for the mounting points, don't want them to be too removable.

 

 

Fabricated up the bar with little feet so the bolts from the light mounts wouldn't hit the bumper.

 

 

Mounting bolts are welded into the bumper support so the lights won't jiggle going down the road. This bumper is the ugliest I have, when I go to paint the car I'll use the same bumper support and make the holes in the better bumper cleaner with rubber grommets.

 

bar with the lights attached.

 

 

Constructive criticism appreciated.

Very nice set up!!

Looks good. I like the idea of the removable light rack. Looks sturdy. I've got 3 in a row on my Suby and I've never been stopped for em. Course, I only run them all when I'm on the hiway with nobody commin the other way.

VA is very strict as far as running more than 6 lights total on the front of your car. That includes highbeam/lowbeam. IIRC.

 

Don't want to draw any attention. None. You can't even hear this car unless I get on the go pedal.

 

 

Thanks Hocrest.

Very nice!

That looks very good!

 

Is it just a piece of square tubing w/ the bumpstops you put on? Looks simple enough, i might have a project...if i can ever afford it!

 

Have you taken them out yet? Let us know how well it holds up to the roads!

 

Nice work,

looks good

 

 

 

(BTW have you gotten my PM's about your hatch I've had a couple of chances to come get it but never heard anything back from you about it )

Haven't run them yet, hoping the lights don't block the grill too bad.

Yes, it's just stock bar with tabs. The bolts in the bumper were the pita.

I'm guessing the stock Alt. is not going to like them very much.

 

 

JWX, The hatch is getting a Weber and I'm going to address the rust.

I'll repost it for sale with more appropriate price soon as I'm done.

Nice setup, I might be doing something similar to mine

Installed the lights on the car. Going to get the XT6 alt Thurs. and finish the wiring with a good weatherproof connector.

 

Here is what it looks like so far.

(sounds good about the hatch, let me know when you get it done)
