Hey ya'll.

So I was rolling in the work truck, and '05 D-max, and saw a City of Portland Water Works '04-05 Ranger 4x4 x-cab. And it had an a-pillar mounted spot light. You know, like a police car. I WANT ONE!!! I need one when wheelin.

Anybody run one??? Anybody outfit pursuit cars that know what's involved with doing this mod?? Doc.....do do you have a spot light??

I know the most common brand is Unity.

Thanks!!

you know, I saw one on ebay a couple weeks ago, one off a crown vic i believe.. I think they're awesome.. post pics if you get one on your truck!

 

Robin on www.generation-edge.info had them on his XLT 4x4 talk to him

 

They run for about $30 average on Ebay...here's a BLACK CHROME one for $45:



I thought about this same thing yesterday, as there are many times I wish I had a directional spot light, plus it looks cool in my opinion. All that's involved with mounting them is drilling a hole in the a-pillar, mounting the bracket with 2 screws, and securing the wires. Since the a-pillar trim snaps off, and the fuse-box is directly below it, this would be a SIMPLE modification! I may have to do this one, if my wife lets me, of course!

 

Unity Light

 

i LIKE it!

 

Someone should do a quick PChop to see if it would look okay. I would if I had PS on my work computer!

For 240,000 candlepower, it's probably well worth the $50 or so it'd cost from Ebay!!

 

I'm gonna pick one up in the next couple weeks, I just gotta figure out how in the hell you mount them.

 

i went to the Unity site above and tryed to find my vehical, dose anyone eles have troble reading the app. chart, what is the Ranger(4), Ranger(16) and Ranger pickup????

 

How did I miss this thread. But anyways spotlights arent that hard to put in altho its a 2 man job unless you dont want the weather striping around the windshield. I Have done a bunch of these at work on different vehicles and there's not much involve. You just have to have a power lead ran to it. Involes drilling 3 holes in the a-pillar 2 are for screws and ones for the actual spot light to go threw. And by judging on the doors on a ranger your going to have to trim a U in the door.


Just a reminder you have to get one made for a ranger a crown vic..etc... will not fit. To bad you live to far away or i would give you a hand if you are seriously going to do it.

 

They are cool but I dont think I could drill into my A-pillers.
