6 inch off road lights; where to put, pic request
Hey guys. I just picked up two 6 inch off road lights and I'm wondering where to put them? I'm thinking with behind the grill (02' FX4) because I don't have a Waag bar or anything similar. I was also wonder how you guys have yours wired up. If you have any pics please post, it's just another way to whore your truck out anyways, lol.

behind grill or get some light tabs for right in front of the grill...behind the grill looks sleeker...what kind did you get, not sure if all lights fit behind the grille...
|
They are just no name 100 watters, and you can't beat extra lights. They are all stainless with a stainless wire loom, and they will fit behind the grill, so I'm open to opinions.
|
With no bar, behind the grill sounds great. Id say wire em into the low beams and mayb have a bypass switch so you can turn them on even when low beams are off
|
thats how i've had all of my lights where behinde the grill.. i just used the switch that came with the lights.. drilled a hole through the fire wall.. ran the wire's through and mounted the switch to the dash
|
Mounting behind the grille youll need a slimmer style light. I really doubt a daylighter style light will fit, due to it's thickness.
Here's Mine: 2- KC Slimlites on homemade light tabs. Light tabs are a very popular option. They mount to your bumper bolts. I'll be putting on a crossbar between the two tabs and mouning a total of 4 lights here probably next week. I route all my wire through the firewall through a hole cut in the steering shaft boot......just be careful on the routeing,,,,make sure no contact with the shaft is made. http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/9813/pa140026vo9.jpg http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/5969/pa140022pv0.jpg http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/711/pa130007sg8.jpg I havn't done it yet, but my switch setup for the 4 lights will incorporate 2 stock foglite switches mounted to my modded radio bezel...itll look like this(but black bezel): http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...81_29_full.jpg |

I like the second foglight switch. How are you guys wiring them up? Do you run them through the trucks fuse/relay box? Thanks

http://www.delcity.net/delcity/image.../73897_tab.jpg wiring links involving stock switches: https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...ad.php?t=51189 https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...ad.php?t=15375 There's plenty more...but those are ones i started. |
lights bars for sure.. i have mine on my bumper now with them wired into the headlights...whenever the parking lights or low beams are on they can be turned on
|
I think I'm going to make a tab for them when I get a chance and mount them like nbro3232 has his. Thanks for the help guys.

I think the way Jeff has his would be the only option for those with a Mazda. FYI.
