March 27, 200620 yr Hi, my name is Matt and I have a problem. I am addicted to bright lights. Its been getting worse, they are never bright enough. I started off with this.. They were dim and yellow, so I put some H4s in there. Then Fatz's mighty L sedan donated some Hella 181s Got a little brighter, not enough, not by a long way. A pilgrimage to Rising Sun in Adelaide saw me upgrade to some good copies of Cibie Oscar spots, Starting to get somewhere now. Those suckers are good, but there was still dark areas. So... I scored a set of PIAAs for $70 on ebay, then another set for $62.50 aaaaaagh then I knew,, I am sick! I put a set on and they did the job, no doubt. Bright blinding white filled all the gaps down low and wide. But... how long were they going to last mounted here??? Not very long with the amount of wildlife around here! SO, This weekend I rebuild a set of old Cibie Oscars (original spreads) and mounted them in front of the inner factory lights, slightly behind the spots and evenly spaced accross the front ( ala WRC cars). Have I gone too far?? _________________ 1986 Wonder Brumby Walks the Walk
March 27, 200620 yr Author Cant do the roof bar, I have T tops and I hate lighting up the bonnet (hood) with overhead lights. My alternator is fine thanks. (EJ25 90amp unit)
March 27, 200620 yr you skipped the third eye, my favorite and most satisfying paint the hood black, it really helps
March 27, 200620 yr would you even see the third eye with the lights on the grill?hows the cooling with the lights infront of rad?
March 27, 200620 yr DUDE, that is a nice looking Brat. Nice job on the lights too, looks awesome. But I'm with everyone else put some lights on top too. Man, i wish we could get those Bumpers with the Bull/Roo Guards here :-\ , might have to make a copy . Thanks for the close up pics.
March 27, 200620 yr you skipped the third eye, my favorite and most satisfying paint the hood black, it really helps YeaH THE third eye is the best. But quite a nice rack you have....of lights.
March 27, 200620 yr Author Thanks guys, its been a 3 year labour of love. Sooo much fun, But if I read it right, you guys are actualy encouraging me to put more lights on! Bloody hell, its like getting Alcaholic Anonomous advice at a liquor store. I am unsure of how I will go keeping the T tops operational and still getting a strong mounting for a light bar, Anyone got one set up I can look at. I have 4 PIAAs (3 spots and a spread)...I may as well put a whole kilowatt of light out there!!
March 27, 200620 yr you still have room for 2 more in front of your last 2 headlights or if youre keen to go rally style, hows about a light pod for the bonnet im gettin pretty good with the fibreglass these days
March 27, 200620 yr make a light bar for the very back of the brumbly cab just before camper. Voila space for more lights!

That would leave room for seats in the back and not interfere with t-tops Looks very nice how it is though.
March 27, 200620 yr Light bar on roof! Light bar on roof!! :D Another six of those on top of the roof, man, you'd be a portable runway
March 27, 200620 yr <3 <3 <3 only thing that could make it better.....is more lights!!!! Don't mount them ON the roof, but more like behind it, on the/a roll bar (I can't tell if you have one already or not). Then it'll be far enough that it won't light up your hood or windsheild. And if it gets bad on the t-tops, a strip of tape across the bottom will virtually completely eliminate that.
March 28, 200620 yr Absolutly awesome Sube! I think i will move to Tazmania . It looks very pretty there!
March 28, 200620 yr Author Wilmington North Carolina is a bloody nice spot as well Mate. Not too far from the Outer Banks for when the king fish are running. Lovely beach driving to be done down there. Tassie is a beautiful spot no doubt. I love it here, the relaxed pace suits me (much more than North Carolina did!) Burlington NC 1998 - 2001
