P500 Installed some led lights

[Chooglin]

I really like how white the light is vs the yellowish light coming from the headlights !!

The green light was installed as accent light and so I don't forget to turn off the power switch !

Looks good! I'm putting some marker lights on the outside so I don't leave my key on.

Love it! I'm not a vampire, so I have a light fetish, myself.

I bought a set of Auxbeams that look similar to those, they are 6 LED Cree 60 degree 18 watt. I shined them out my window at home and they didn't look like they would augment the stock lights as much as I was hoping for. Any pictures or video of them in the field?

I'm looking at 4 LED 30 degree 20 watt Sylvanias but they are ~$60 a set. I'm probably going to use the 6 LED 60's to light up the S x S cargo area, jury is out on trail lighting because I don't want a huge power sucking light bar and I did find the OEM lights adequate for my use so far. I carry a handheld spotlight, but I wouldn't mind a small pair of LED lights to augment the factory headlights if they are actually helpful and significantly increase my viewing area for a reasonable amount of money and tax on the electrical system.

I will get some pics in the next few days.

These are 35* 18w and i have them adjusted slightly outward.I was basically wanting to widen my light pattern from the stock headlights and these work for me.............$80 for the pair !!!

I purchased this light bar:

and these brackets:
http://www.amazon.com/Auxmart-1-5inch-Bullbar-Mounting-Bracket/dp/B00VQ08I2A?tag=sxsweb24-20

My plan is to mount these on the tube that goes around the hood, so the light will hopefully be high enough to shine over the snow plow that is in my future, and have enough clearance that I will still be able to open the hood. I will post my results after I attempt the install...

Thanks

I bought a set of these from amazon. $49. Very bright and extremely tough. They are combination spot and flood. Very happy with these.

I want to mount a light bar similar to your setup, as far as the size and general location.
So I bought a light bar - 14" or so... however mine has the mounting bolts on the ends - not on the bottom. I selected that setup based on my original plan to mount on the bar that goes around the edge of the hood. And I bought clamps- of course, I bought the wrong size clamps... Anyhow, it doesn't look like it would work out even if I had the right clamps... I see you have a fancy bumper. I am still running the stock bumper and am considering mounting the light to my bumper, with the proper sized clamps. I will be purchasing a winch with the KFI mount. Has anyone mounted a 12" - 14" light bar to the bumper when using the KFI mount? I"m concerned that having the light mounted there would interfere with the higher mounted winch. I want to keep the light mounted pretty high, but I have the honda windshield and soft roof so I can't mount it up there, but I'm hoping the light will be high enough to clear the snowplow that I will be buying down the road...

I think the StrongMade bumper would answer all of that.

Thanks for the follow-up pictures in the field, I always appreciate them. They help people make informed choices. I hope to have some up soon(1-2 weeks) myself.

Couldn't you get some thin rubber and build it up to 1.5 inches? Wouldn't
Take many layers plus would probably help in slipping on the tube. I'm still looking for a good bracket and I like these mounts. Mite buy one and play around with it.

 

[Kirkl]

heres 1.25 inch ones.

There is not much empty space around the tube in the area i'd have to clamp to. Kinda hard to describe, but since they are too big, they would contact the hood and probably the black plastic of the front fenders. They make them in 1.25" so I'm just going to order those. They are pretty nice clamps and not too expensive. I can use the 1.5" ones for clamping something to the roll cage.

[Kirkl]

Ya I didnt think about the tight space by the hood. Just ordered some of the 1.25 inch ones. see how they work.
