Need Help with Driving Lights

[Clemsonfan15]

Alright. I was able to take some pictures tonight. Some of them didn't come out very well (lighting, etc...), but I think you'll get the idea.

Finished product:

Showing how close the lights sit to the grill:

View with grill off:

Individual setup:

Horn location and secondary bracket:

Showing how far the brackets stick out (they are the same length):

This shows how far brackets stick up over the grill. That is the hood support rod for reference:

It's probably not the cleanest install, but it gets the job done. Considering what I have to work with, it will do.

Let me know if y'all have any questions.

Keep working on her. You'll convince her.

I tested the mounts and lights out tonight on my hour trip back to my apartment. Worked very well. I was very happy with their strength compared to my old mounts.

I'm definitely gonna have to aim these lights way down, or be very careful when I use them. They will light up at least two lanes for at least half a mile I'd say.

I'm having some trouble aiming these.

The first problem is simply not being able to aim them low enough. The bottom of the light is hitting hitting the mount. If this "________" is 90 degrees, then my problem is that it won't go below 90 degrees. Not sure if that makes sense.



And then when I was trying to tighten one of the bolts down I snapped the bolt. First time for me. I didn't know I personally could produce enough force to do that.

shoot i didn't even see that you finished these up. it looks really good man! I think my PIAA's might be a little too small to put up on the grill though. Good luck with aiming them though, can you maybe get some washers or spacers on there to give you al little more height?
