I'm not too concerned about the bumper. It needs some BFH lovin' as it is. I just wasn't sure about clearance. If you could get me a profile shot that would be awesome. Thanks dude

I'm guessing they have a pretty tough plastic sheath since they're designed to be under cars?

they've held up real well, i've been happy with them. yeah they have a tough plastic outside. i think they might have a minor crack or two, but that's not bad considering what they've been through with daily use and wheelin trips and such. one of these days i'll get a tube in front and one in back too to illuminate those areas.
maybe even put a couple round spot lights in the rear bumper.

Cause the lenses are interchangable ,,,, so yellow , clear , infra red, blue, green, only limited to what lightforce produces,. and here in fl where it rains a bit and is foggy the yellow has a diffuser that flattens the light pattern and cuts the fog.

so, it does actually work. i've just got my lightforce's put on and do have a set of yellow filters but haven't had a chance to try them out yet. i've always heard that fog lights really don't work the way they are supposed to.

Pair of Oscar Cibié long distance lights. With a rebar under(!) the rubber of the bumper to keep them from wobbling. (Thanks Toyota for providing us with no secure area to mount lights!!!)

It looks like you have your own website server don't you? Upload the images onto that, then stick the link between the [IMG] [/IMG] tags in the forum posting.

Otherwise, use a free service such as Photobucket to host them.

Here's a couple pics of them covered with mud. I drove 2 hours back home and they were bright enough for me to get brightlighted several times on the way home (get prepared for that, even with 55W lights):





Anybody have more info on those LED rock lights? That would be awesome!

I've got a post over in the fab section.

If you don't want to build them yourself, you can buy them from roundeyes.com for $30 each or there's some knockoffs on the web for $20 each.
