hey guys i see some of you have the driving lights mounted behind the grill and i love that idea think it looks so good and i want to do it just wondering what lights you guys used and how you mounted them and wired them. any info would help big time thanks

 

I have Hella 500FF's that I mounted to the shroud between the grill and radiator.

 

got any pics

 

 

ok simple and did you just tap them into the parking lights?

 

No, they run on a dedicated switch

 

oh ok sweet i just need to either find something cheaper then heallas or save up some money (broke college kid)

 

I'm also a broke college kid (hopefully not for long) but the 500FF's were only $50 at Walmart

 

oh ok thats not that bad im gunna have to look in to that what kind of bulbs you running in them

 

A lot of people have problems with melting their grill mounting them there.

 

hellas have H3 55W bulbs.

 

55W won't melt the grill.

I rewired the lights for 100W bulbs. I have run them for a while and the grill is fine. It's not like the lights are on for hours at a time anyway

 

this, in my opinion is horse ****. i had 55W hellas behind my grille for over a year with no problems with heat or anything else. and now i have 100Ws back there and no problems. make sure they arent touching the grille itself and youll be fine.

 

beat me to it. lol

 

Right I never ment mine. If you search offroad lights you will see a bunch of people saying there grills get melted. Someone was saying the led ones work really good.

 

i have LEDs as well and i love them.

heres a pic, just the LEDs. i have Rigid Industries "Dually" lights.


Dually LEDs only

 

If you're a broke college kid do yourself a favor and put that money into your food supplies instead of your truck.

http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/LED-Work-Lamp found these and led for $30 bones sounds good just wonder if you guys know anything more about these?

 

ive never seen them, but they look awesome. and ddm has a good rep. try em out.

 

thats what im thinking i would just have to get a harness and switch no big deal there. just not sure if i want the 128mm or the 125mm?

 

bigger = better :D

 

check out these http://www.harborfreight.com/off-roa...stem-3029.html came with everything you need for the install. ive got a pair on my truck with light tabs. i thought the switch was to big so i went out and got one of the little kc switches. i like them a lot and their only 35 bucks (broke high school kid).

 

i would usually say bigger is better but the smaller ones but out more lumens then the bigger ones
