A few new things from me...

SIIICK!!

Nice, man. Those lights are BIG.
Great job on the mounting too.

I have a camping trip this weekend and I really want to figure out how much extra lighting I'll want.

Now all you need are some clear side lenses

[nfpgasmask]

Well, all I can say is that they put my head lights to shame. Last week I drove out of the mountains in the dark while it was snowing with no problem. The lights REALLY help in the blackness of the night.

This project was really tough though, expensive and time consuming. My light bar isn't perfect either. Its hard to see in the photos, but I had to insert some triangular rubber blocks to get the angle right. My friend who made this for me is hopefully going to mod it a little more so the bar sits at the right angle.

Either way they work really well. I need to get some sort of all-weather connector though so I can remove the light bar AND all of the ugly cables from up top when not in use.

I kinda miss my spikes...

you think about using a trailer harness for your connector? there cheap and you can get them anywhere.

Very nice work!

[Ldub]

Well Done Bart !!! Nice work on the install & the vid.

[ZEUS]

Lights like that need a lift kit and nice meaty tires underneath! I bet your temptation has grown... huh? High speed dirt runs like that though need no lift at all... sooooo... Very cool vid as well, I love the whitewall look!

[MSHardeman]

Bart,

Very nice on both the light install and the video.

Can't wait to see it in person.

Yes and no. I mean, I did A LOT of wheeling allover northern Nevada last week. I never really came upon anything that would have required a lift. But that said, there was one spot where I scraped, but it was mostly because of the angle I took it at and the lack of a spotter.

A lift would be sweet, but I am still skeptical about the basket of problems associated with it...only time will tell.

My ABS light is on now too.

Hmmm, well, I have 5 wires that need to have a weatherproof plug. Would a harness work? I thought they only have 4 connectors??

[etlsport]

dude.. your rack is huge! hehehehe seriously.. awesome

vid is cool too.. how were u keepin up with it on the cam?

yea the lights do kind of take from the stealthy vxness... i used some GM weatherproof connectors for mine.. they are black and have green rubber seals.. had to buy the male end, female end, and male and female metal connectors all separately, then put it all together.. works nicely though... i ended up getting an extra connector for each (i went with 2 2 wire connectors) and plugging it up with some melted plastic to make a cover for the plugs when the lights werent connected to them

My friends were in their rental taking video from there. I have more, but this segment looks the best. Its hard to hold the camera steady at that speed.

I have been looking at these:

Anyone ever use them?

Thanks,

yea! those are the ones i used! worked out well i used a pair of the doubles.. they are a little big bulky (when connected the whole thing measures just over 2-1/2") and there are lots of little pieces with those that add up quickly...

buying all the little pieces you need gets a little pricey too.. here is what you need to splice 2 wires..



i ordered mine from summit racing.. to splice 4 wires with those connectors it ran me $14 + their $10 handling charge (but i ordered a couple of other things along with it to help absorb that handling cost)

just search www.summitracing.com for weatherpack and youll get lots of results for kits of them

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, those look sweet. Since I have 5 wires, I was thinking of just ordering the 6 wire one. From the weatherpack site it looks like there would only be two pieces...

I'll have to do a little more research, but this looks like what I want. This way, I will just have a connector on the back of my roof right in front of the spoiler, which should not be too visible.

Only a little less candlepower than Jackie Robinson stadium. Damn...light up the desert

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, I will try to get a few pics of them at night if I can. It really does help driving in the dark, especially when road cruisin' for snakes!
