I'm trying to decide what lights to mount on my TJM bumper, and have more or less decided on PIAA 520 fog lamps. There are PIAA 540's which I think are a bit smaller (5 inches versus 6.5?), and wanted to see what people's bumpers looked like with lights.

So, come on guys, show me whatch got!

 

I have a set of IPF 968's. Not a bad light for the price. Check out my webshots page below.

Here's one picture I have of the 520's from straight on.

 

FWIW... I say go as big as you can. Bumpers and grille guards look silly (IMO) with smallish lights on them. I've got Hella 4000s on my bumper. If I remember correctly, they are somethign like 8" around.

 

here's my IPF 800's

 

Perfect! Thats exactly what I needed to see. Out of curiousity, do you guys use your auxillary lights much? The trail rides I've been on with groups of rigs, other folks never can turn their lights on without blinding the guy in front of them, so I've got the impression that they act as ornaments 95% of the time. In Seattle, I'm not likely to be able to use the driving lights much, so I went with fogs for those rainy nights on the highway.

 

I use mine quite a bit, but generally on back country roads at night. Dang rednecks don't believe in streetlights. I also use them from time to time on camping trips. My backup lights are great for setting up a tent in the dark. I've never used them on the trails for the reason you stated.

 

the only time i get to use my lights on the trail is if i am leading the group otherwise they seem to come in pretty handy at the campsite setting up tents and so forth!

 

I have the same set-up as Jackson (4000's on the TJM & 500's on the rack) less the FF-75's in the bumper. I am waiting on the brackets for those.

Jackson - you need to update that picture with the FF-75's installed.

 

Yea, I know. I haven't had much time to wheel this summer, so recent photos are few and far between. Maybe tonight I'll get a couple of poseur shots.
