Lights? Do you think they look ok?

Post by phr1$k37 »


OK so I might have time to get around to mounting these this SAturday. They are hanging with twist-ties so they are sloppy and not aligned. All in all what do you guys think?

Uhm, No. You need square or rectangular, preferably Hellas.

I am not a big fan of lights there unless on a light bar. But I do agree with the Captain Square or Rectangular...

They alright but ya square or rectangular. You can get away with round below the bumper because of the curves of the bumper but right beside the headlights they just don't quite look right.

Perfect!

Back to original plan ... those lights are going to be used under the vehicle for lighting and rear lights :)
In my photo above one set of the blue lens are floods and the other are spot fogs.

Sticking with square lights in the front - anyone have experience with the KC LX2 35 series? Those are the wide beam pattern lights.

i have to agree with these guys a rectangular light mounted to the bottom of the rill would look better .

one question though , where'd you get the lights in the bottom of your bumper skirt ? i
ve been looking for that type and can't find them anywhere ?

In Massachusetts you'd prolly get pulled over! They look that blue....I know they're driving lights.
By law, only police are allowed to use blue lights.

The flash made it come out very blue ...regardless you guys are correct. Cannot have different colored lights because those are reserved for special vehicles. However amber fog lights are legal .... so are all those fancy HIDs -_- /rant off.

Originally those lights were going to be consealed and then covered except for off-road use. I dont know where the caps went now nor do they look good together. If one set, maybe but yah I am back to very first thought I had to stick with rectangle lights :)

Skippy!
Hella lights! FF75 will do great (google "hella light tunnel" and then click on the links to see the light in action on the hella website) - I couldnt get the lights local and no one wanted to ship to me from the states or when they wanted to it was $$$. So what I have exactly in my photo is the Optilux 1250. They are fogs so they go on ONLY when heavy fog is present. They work well! But the FF75 are better.

I put my order in for the KC hilites - dont know when I will get them though. I will post back when it goes on.

EDIT:
NotDawg and Zam you can laugh at me now ;p
A few days ago I was behind a semi-truck and he was not staying in his lane at all. So I decided to flash him with my brights. Now remember I have the HIRs installed and the lo+hi beam mod done. So I flashed him .. he didnt move. I stuck the beam on and he got the idea and moved. Ah craps little did I know an officer was ahead of him but at least 10 cars ahead? I pulled over and the officer asked me flash my brights again. I dont know if he is yanking my chain or not but he let me go with a warning saying that having hi-beams on with lo-beams are illegal!? But he did admit it was nice and bright!!! :)

Any Canadian dudes here know someone in the VI department who can verify this for me?

Frisky,As to whether they are legal in your jurisdiction i'm not sure, check the B.C laws to be certain.
