Finally got my lights on!

What should have taken a few hours ended up in piecework taking almost 2 weeks! :evil:

I finally got my lights mounted! Someone requested pics, so here they are:

Daytime:

Nighttime:

For the heck of it, what I use to keep finger prints off the rear window:

Eventually I'll add pics of my reverse lights. I forgot to get shots of them this time around...

how do you like the yellow beam on the PIAA's?

Looking great. Could you post a few more pictures of the mounting locations of the PIAAs.

The yellow beams are actually a lot more gentle on the eyes than white lights of this wattage. When these hit street signs, they don't blind you with the light coming back, however they don't affect your visibility and you really know they are there! In the rain and fog, it seems my visibility is increased because again, the light isn't reflected back into my eyes. As far as the mounting points are concerned, I drilled through the bumper cover into the hard metal underneath to mount the brackets. If you look under your tow hooks, you'll see a squarish hole with rounded corners beneath them on each side. Right above these holes is where I drilled. I'll try to get some more pics for you in the near future.

Thank You, I think they look great, especially with that tint.
Although I love hella black magic lights, they are just too expensive, yours look like them with the protectors.

Thanks for the info on that mounting point. If you removed the lights later on, would there be an ugly hole, or is it somewhat neat? I thought the bumper would just crack if I were to drill it without any kinda support.

As long as you start out slowly, and get a good bite with the drill bit, the plastic bumper cover is soft enough to be drilled away. If I were to remove the lights, there would be a hole there, however a grommet or plug could be inserted to keep the elements out and painted if desired.

I think the holes can be covered up with caps.

Finally got my lights on!
