Piaa 520's on a lightbar/mounts

[Brilliams]

First of all I would like to thank all the contributing members of this site as I gained a wealth of information to make my little project happen. I read through many threads on here and on yotatech all about lights, wiring, switches, etc.

Well I finally finished my project and put two sets of Piaa 520's on. I deliberated between the Hella 500's and the Piaa's, one of the main reasons i picked the Piaa's over the Hella's is that I seemed to read that many people would upgrade their bulbs for the Hella's or even go with HID's whereas I didnt see that as much or if at all with the Piaa's. Also I think the Piaa's just look cooler :fro:
I am very satisfied with the output as they are considerably brighter than my stock beams but not overly bright that I can't use them with other vehicles around.

I made the bar/mounts with a buddy and wired them up which was fairly easy. Used oem toyota switches and an add-a-fuse to keep things clean and tidy.

Questions? Comments?

Thanks. Yea, I know for you that wheel and such the bottom lights would be pointless but I'm using them to cut under the fog and snow when I head up to slopes.

I like the uppers, i was pondering today of making an unoticable place to mount 2 Hellas without drilling the bumper, looks like someone beat me too it. hopefully i will have a similar setup.

Just note that my upper lamps vibrate/shake around a little but really only if i hit a bump or if I have a bad/lazy shift.
I was also thinking, which may be a better idea for some of you, is to mount a bar across the upper mounts so that you could mount more than two lamps. Weld some bars perpendicular to a bar (similar to my bottom bar) then bolt it in behind the grill to some "L" brackets or wherever you see fit.
