P700m4 Rear pod lights and front light bar question

[Dragon21]

2 part question,

1. Ive ordered some flood pod lights, I plan to mount them to the top of the cage in the rear facing backwards. Not sure how I am gonna mount them though and would like to see ideas.

2. Im gonna do a 42" lightbar across the front. Ive always done the up high in the past (to the roof). I see some people who have them low on the windshiled opening. For those that have done both, which have you seen as better? Does low block too much close up light?

Thanks!

I mounted my rear lights to my hard roof as you described. I like them, at first I pointed 1 down so I could hook up trailers and such, however I flipped the brackets since so it points more like the one on the rear right. Got Flood instead of spot.

For the front I welded an "L" bracket to my front bumper and put a smaller light so I can't help you there.

Is your bumper a 12 or 14? I'm thinking about doing a 14" and drilling through the bumper to mount it

Look at the bottom of post 9 of my build thread

Healthy Addiction, Tflynn's build thread

Obviously you have a 4 seater so you can't do EXACTLY what I've done but that can give you an idea of how easily you can make a little bracket that mounts up to an existing bolt for pod lights.

I left my front light bar low right above the dash because it cleaned up the wiring and it's protected better there.

I love mine mounted low... The coverage works really well.

Thanks guys

I like that seatbelt idea, especially in the P2 so you can use it in the bed, I might see if I can use mine without it getting in the way

That front bracket looks great, im guessing you had to get longer bolts for the cage?

No sir I used the stock bolts. The bolts were long enough so it worked perfect.

I believe it's a 14" light, it's brighter than the stock headlights. I'm not sure if it lights out further, but the same area it's lighting up instead of having the headlight "beams", everything in the woods is lit. I have forgotten to actually turn my headlights on at times at night when I've had the LED light going.

thanks, im gonna do a 14" spot down there and a 42" spot/flood on the roof or bottom of the windshield. I have a 22" spot on my truck and use it almost every day. Huge difference.

That 42" wrap around light that LP installed does look way cool

Just added 2 led pods one for the interior on the inside of the rear most roof cross bar to light up my gear
The other pod went on the back side of the hard roof for reverse driving or lighting up the zombies (amazon vendor sent me the wrong switch so this became the zombie light lol)


Finally I installed a 12" flood/spot combo on my front bumper. It's not very big but I wanted to install it low and on the stock bumper this was the best place, I could have installed it on the top of the bumper but I didn't want to cover the Honda badge! On my last bike which was a RZR I had a 24" light bar on the roof and I found for summer riding all I could see was the dust so I am thinking lower placement may light up the trail but not give me the glare on the dust.

Anyway I know the rules, pics or it didn't happen so there you go! It happened lol

Here's my idea:

• Lights (3) with wiring kit -- 20"INCH 126W + 4" 18W SPOT FLOOD COMBO CREE LED WORK LIGHT BAR OFFROAD BOAT LAMP | eBay
• Additional wiring kit -- 12V 40A LED Work Fog LED Car Bar Wiring Harness Kit ON/OFF Switch Relay Cable | eBay
• Possible toggles to cut into dash -- LED Light Bar 12V 20A 5P Push Rocker Toggle Switch Kit On Off Blue Waterproof | eBay
• Mounts -- Amazon.com: LAMPHUS LED Off-Road Light Horizontal Bar Clamp Mounting Kit 1"/ 1.5"/ 1.75"/ 2" (Includes 2 clamps): Automotive

I'm hoping this stuff works out like I hope for them to.

I did this on the back with small pods from Amazon and LOVE IT! Got the mounts from eBay. The angle allows you to see behind when you are backing up, beside each rear tire, and lights up the bed.

Did a 14" (I think) spot flood combo on the front along with the HID head light swap. I am pleased with it. Lights up the woods for sure.

Can you go back to your eBay cart and cut and paste the links to the mounts you used?

Thank you!!!

I have a 42" on top, 2 pods on back, 2 pods inside pointing out the sides. Works great and changed the headlights to led to

This is the style clamps I ordered for both front and back. The fronts and backs are different sizes. I can't remember or see on my phone the sizes I ordered on my phone. I will look at my account on my computer when I get to work. I believe the ones in back were the 1.625" and the front location I used for the light required the 1.75". CHECK THOSE SIZES BEFORE YOU ORDER!
They also com in different lengths according to how far you want the lights to set from the bar that they are mounted on. Seems like I got the three inch length for both.

Yeah, if you could check those sizes, that'd be awesome.

Kinda hard for me to use my calipers on something 350 miles away.

Thanks again!

I like that clamp that @sek-hunter posted, good find. I put my rear pods on the back of the roof using the screws that go through the roof and into the clamps that hold it on.



On the front I put pods on the side on the windshield in case I wanted to aim them off to the side and so they wouldn't be behind my plow when it lifted.

I need a set of those front mounts! Are they aftermarket or did you fab them? I was gonna have some made, but I like those a lot.
