March 15, 200917 yr just got my light on today:cool: got too work out some of the wire mess but that aint gonna take long
March 15, 200917 yr Subaru gives us 2 lights, so lets make it 10. BRIGHT. All cars should be lit this way, so we can see the Deer and coons, and possums sooner. I would love to go shine that at a particular ex girlfriends front window every so often to piss her off.
March 15, 200917 yr Author I would of put aircraft landing lights on it like i got on my bronco but they are a pain to rig up and i wasn't sure if the thing could take it. Although 8 24v 250w acl's would be kickass on it:grin:
March 15, 200917 yr looks like your headlights are a little dim? Have you done the relay mod? Its a must before adding any lights to an older car I reckon
March 15, 200917 yr Author I haven't done any thing with the head lights yet, kinda jumped the gun with the added lights:lol:
March 15, 200917 yr looks like your headlights are a little dim? Have you done the relay mod? Its a must before adding any lights to an older car I reckon relay mod?
March 15, 200917 yr Relay mod- Using the existing headlight switch and wiring to trigger two relays behind each light, getting their power straight from the battery. Makes the headlights much brighter, and makes the wiring and switch last much longer. I do have two questions, though- How long can you run them before the battery dies, and Is that brush guard PVC?
March 16, 200917 yr relay mod?Because atm the power for the headlights has to go through the steering stalk switch, and most of the time you loose over a volt in that. In my brumby my headlights were getting 10.5 volts while the car was running on highbeam (battery at 13.5v). After putting in relays the headlights had 13v at them. Much brighter
March 17, 200917 yr Author how is the glare off the hood? The dirt keeps the glare down most of the time:lol:
March 17, 200917 yr Author I do have two questions, though- How long can you run them before the battery dies, and Is that brush guard PVC? 1 Haven't tested battery death yet but i carry a spare with me most of the time 2 Yes they are pvc, I don't got a good reason for it. Just wanted to see if i could do it. The nice thing is that they don't rust...
March 17, 200917 yr Well the PVC brush guard is certainly better than nothing. maybe to protect against twigs and tall grass maybe..
March 18, 200917 yr Author Its purely cosmetic just a "test" project to see how much it can take, and so far its been quite surprising how tough it been:)
March 20, 200917 yr Kinda Reminds me of.. I miss her loud engine, no power and little heat..... She was a death trap on wheels I need to get a new one.
March 20, 200917 yr If you haven't already, you might want to upgrade your alternator. Search for GM 100, or Maxima 90 amp. I'm thinking you'll need the 100+!!!
