Is it even still able to be purchased or is it one of those rare mods to get your hands on?

I'll betcha when "crotchrocket" logs in tomorrow a.m. you'll get your answer. If he's not still washing his VX. lol
That was a factory option on the JDM VX's. Unfortunately they are very hard to come by now. Only way I know of to get one is to find an owner that has one that wants to sale it. It mounts to the front license plate mounts.
I saw an advertisement on another 4x4 site for license plate mounted aux lights. I'll dig around and see if I can find it again...
I know the one your talking about...not the same. Doesn't look as "factory". As a matter of fact to me it looks like those big cow horns that those Texas oil barrons put on their Caddy's.:bwgy:
This is an exact question on another thread
Here's the specific thread you're looking for; do a forum "search" for: "Spotlight Bar"
The other option for mounting auxilary lights on the VX front-end, is to use a "Westin Bull-Bar Bumper" that was previously sold by TONE (R.I.P.). However; since the passing of TONE, we're all now kinda' left drifting aimlessly. Take a look at the Photo Gallery of "VX KAT".

What a nightmare clay is to get off!!!!! Didnt bother to sponge it yet, just got the mud off as it was 9pm and i was ready for a can of stella!!!
Yep, its the JDM sporlight bar, couldnt be difficult to make although you'd need a mould for the bracket covers at each end !

I have sourced this bar you are talking about through a warehouse in Japan....I will try to look it up for you.
I'll betcha one of our Texas members has a set of those longhorns on the front of their VX. Plus, he probably has a set of fog lights mounted on their tips. lol j/k (pretty mental picture huh)
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!Quote:

JHarris1385- that would be very much appreciated if you could look for me...

handeeman- Hey i am from texas haha.... i will definetely inform the board if i see someone with the horns on a VX
vt_maverick- definetely post what you find, i am very interested...
Here's a pic of a VX with one of those "longhorn" deelio's...

There are more pics on the last page of Bantan's gallery.
Thanx, Ldub for the picture. Now, we can see what it looks like on the VX. The "longhorn light bar" is also available in BLACK; which may look much better against the blackish-colored cladding, and won't look so obnoxious like the silver/chrome version does. Just a thought.Quote:

that light bar actually might look alright in the black... The only thing i am not a fan of is how it starts to come off the body of the VX bumper since it was designed to fit a flat bumper on a jeep. If i find one fairly cheap online i might get it and see about cutting the ends to where they are still flush with the body....

Found one for 40 bucks on ebay... but it is the polished alum.... good buy if thats the color you want!!!
Can ya paint it killinformula ?Quote:

Yeah I could but i am now think i am going to be making a few trips to the neighborhood home depot and looking at materials to make my own light bar... i figure i can do it for a lot cheaper than 52 bucks ($40 plus 12 shipping on ebay).... I am going to be follwoing the license plate design where it will bolt right up with no additional drilling and go from there... I am at work playing around with CAD and designing what i want it to look like :)... plus it will give me something to do this week after work. And who knows it could make for a good write up for the boardQuote:

Yea thats definetely it, good find! if my home depot run doesnt end up well i will shoot an email to him. Thanks!Quote:

Yes, the "longhorn light bar" would probably look best in BLACK on the VX. The auxilary light mounting holes do stick-out a bit from the VX front bumper cladding; but that's a good thing, because most large auxilary lights have a deep-dish rear light housing that will need a large amount of rear clearance in order to fit without touching the front cladding. If the bracket fits totally flush like on Jeeps, then only slim-style lights with shallow housing bodies will fit.Quote:

jharris- i really wouldnt mind getting ahold of one of those too....ive kinda had my eye on it for a while ;)
let me know what you come up with.
thanks!
