Thanks Ed, but I obviously didn't explain myself very well. I meant what order are the lights in? Are the fogs on the outside and the spots on the inside? Vice-versa?

Out of curiosity, why did you decide to move the factory fogs instead of just installing the new lights directly on the bumper in the center?


Two reasons:
1. I didnt want to have to remove the front bumper to mount the lights. I read the instructions and although doable, I deceided it would be easier to not have to deal with removing bumper.
2. The PIAA driving lights are very bright and have a more direct style beam than a broad (flood) style beam. I was afraid if I mounted them in the middle, I would end up with two really brights beams centered on the road, and I really needed the beams to cover more area. (ie light normal headlights). With the PIAA's on the outside, they are give me sufficient coverage of the highway for use as driving lights.
Note: for offroad lights with a super bright, flood style beam, I probably would have mounted in the middle.

Err, no, I didn't read the question properly! Sorry!

Yes the floods are on the outside and the spots are inboard. This kind or mirrors the setup at the front; the IPF spots are closest together in the front, the standard headlights have a broader beam than them and so are outside them, and the factory fogs have which have the widest beam are (slightly) further apart again.

I think I'm right in saying that this is the same setup that the Landrovers in the Camel Trophy used to use. If it's OK for them then it'll do me!

Hope that makes more sense!
:)
