Big Bright Driving Lights

[Ldub]

Funny you should bring this up, since I ordered these on Fri.





I haven't decided exactly where I'm going to mount them yet (they're huge), but they take a H-4 halogen bulb (hi & lo beam, same as stock VX bulb) & I'm planning to convert them over to HID since I have an extra set in inventory.

Also, check Little Laurie's gallery for pics, she has a nice looking light array on her roof basket.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the info. Etl, how did you hook up the lights once they were mounted? I would imagine you ran them in and hooked them to a switch in cab?

I don't know much about these lights or how to wire them. I would like to have something were I can take them on and off at will. The Summit ones look good and I can probably get them locally. If you could, snap another shot of you mounting rig for the Coleman basket. I might take it off your hands.

4 of these should brighten up the trail at night...

Light for HID...1.5 million candlepower each! 6 million candlepower turning night into the sun!

Yeah, I want these lights for camping in the back country and also for snake spotting on back country trails...

Those would be nice....but I still need to figure out how to turn them on and off, and how to make them removable for when I don't want them on my rack, or when I don't want my rack on at all....

Take a look at some of the desert race trucks. They have some real cool set ups that can be folded down...i'm sure it wouldn't be hard to make removable. You just need to incorpate a weather proof plug for the electrical. The desert truck set up allows you to remove all the lights as one unit.

at the moment i just have wiring under the hood that i run up the windshield when i want to use the lights.. very crappy yea but i just havent worked up the cajones to take off the rail.. but yea a weatherproof plug is the idea once its there... yea the one i built for the coleman basket is made to be easily removable in theory... like i said just have to figure out the hardware for mounting, im pretty sure i have it figured out, i just dont have that basket on anymore so ive never bothered trying it

Cool, I was actually thinking of getting a piece of metal cut to the same size/shape of the faring and then just fabbing something up to attach the lights to that. So then I just need to have a wire going to my battery and with a relay attached that runs to a switch inside? Is that how it works? I really have no idea.

Thanks - Bart
