I decided to finally mount the set of Fog KC Hilight on the KJ.
These are Titanium finish, with standard white 130Watts bulbs. I ask the re-seller in the UK to have standard white and not the Blue-White that came with this set. I hate blue light in my face or in my mirror.
Note that the mount was not so easy because the metal bar in the bumper is very short and i had to fix an extension to be able to solidely fix the lights.
A small mechanic next door welded a 10mm bold to a metal plate i gave him. the metal plate is just long enough to create a nice support for the light.
View from below:
I fixed the metal plate with 2x 6mm screws. It was really a pain in the a.... to reach underneath with the wrench and the bolt. But i did it through the holes where the tow hook is fixed. (had to remove the tow hook on the left habd side) Took me approx. 1 hour to get it right:
I cut 2 tube 22mm long in pipe of 2cm diameter. i fill them in with a piece of wood (to stop them to move around) ....ok, try there not to focus on the Coke can...not easy hummm ??
I cut the inside of the front bumper. The inside is black and very stiff. i cut one small scare on each side in order to allow the metal plate and the bold to come in.
(sorry no pic, the wife was screaming that i was doing that in the living...not even true, she laughing her head off
)once this was done , i measured the distance of the bolt on the metal plate from the grill. just to be able to have an idea of where to drill trough the bumper.
I mounted the bumper back on, drilled 1 -2 small holes to see was the bolt, then used a 2cm drill through the bumper, inserted the 22mm tubes and fixed the light bases.
To me it fits perfectly, i can even remove the lights and the basis don't look uggly.
Here are some pics of the lights off.
and on...
cheers
