yes indeed. Rocks already took out the passenger glass as you can see. Not sure how to protect them for that, but I need to get another glass from hella. --E

maybe if they were mounted on top of the bumper they would have a better chance? eh....spark

yeah, i was thinking about mounting them there also but am concerned about the rocks and that's why i was thinking about a 3rd eye or mounting small ones in the grill...

try them inside the grill

 

 

Here's my setup:

Mine's an 86, so I just mounted them to the metal part under the plastic. Man, I gotta replace that grille......stupid mesquite trees.....

Here's my setup!

 

 

Took a piece of metal bar, drilled a hole at each end, mounted the light to it, and mounted it to the metal of the bumper.

here's mine. I just used some screws and drilled them into the vance. I broke one on a rock shortly after this pic was taken. HEHE

 

I cant believe I havent posted one yet

 

Here's my Wagons lights:

 

And here it is after I installed my new bumper:

 

I only had one pair of the top lights wired, but I chose to install the wiring and switch on a high rise center console:

 

Anyhow... its all gotta come out now. I have to retire my wagon, when I install it on its next subaru... everything will be done propper.

Took my bumper off and welded two threaded rods up through the bumper. Fabbed a bar with tubing ends that mounts to the threaded rod with big wing nuts so the light rack is removable when I don't need it.

 

Lights are Hella 500's. fog and driver.

 

I used to run on the National parkway 40 miles a day when I lived in the mountains of VA to get home from work. Most of the time it was in the early am. (4am-5am) So the only thing I had to worry about were animals and outrunning the headlights. And an occasional State Forest Ranger.

 

Now with the FMIC I probably need to revisit the mounting position although I haven't used them in three months.

have you heard from Tony in Medford,or............i see you have one of his roof racks i do to but can't get a hold of him..........spark

Yeah, he's a real good guy. Hung out with him and Adam on a weekend off-road trip (when I went and picked up my bumper from him). I havent heard from him in a while. I tried to contact him for the WCSS6 last year, but he said he would be too busy to attend.

not to hijack the thread or anything, but how many people are still using OEM foglights (dealer option at least for 80's cars) - I recently got a NOS set, and I am planning on installing them as daytime running lights - my car is pretty much entirely street, so breaking glass won't be a problem for me (it had them for 16 years with no problem, then it was front-ended and they were destroyed)

A few years ago I stumbled into a Pawn Shop in Anchorage and there sitting on the shelf were 2 sets of Subaru issue OEM fog lights. With the switch, relays and wiring all boxed up. I haggled him down to $35 for both sets. Sold one set to a friend for cheap and setup the 2nd pair. They were amber fog lights, and worked great. Were plenty bright for the subie and everything was pretty much plug-n-play.

 

Chef Tim now has that set, and i havent seen another since (except for one remaining on a few junk yard cars... glass already broken).

this is what i did the other day,some reason took me like two hours.

 

shortly after mounting them to bumper

 

here's a close up of them

 

this is where i mounted the switch

 

downfall is the bulbs are only 20watt,will get changed

dont have a pic of mine at the moment since i just recently moved and cant seem to find all my comp stuff yet, but i have a set of baja 55 watt rectangle lights from walmart ($20) mounted to the top part of the bumper on either side of the emblem in the center. and i have the switch mounted in the dash right beside where the radio goes, along with my toggle switch for my aux cooling fan.
