Show me your lights on your TJM's

I want to get some better lights on my TJM.
These are the lights I am concidering: Hella Rally 3000's blue lenses or Hella 550 driving lights or Hella 500 Driving lights.
I would like to see some pics on how your lights look on your T-17's? Also wondering if someone had either Rally 3000's or 4000's on one? Did you drill addtional holes in it to mount your lights differently etc?

This is how mine looks currently with some cheapo 55 watt blazers on it:

I know it has a big ole gap in it right now.
I have to modify the TJM mounts still to move it up 1" closer to the grill.


Here's a pic of the Hella Rally 3000's:

I think they would look killer on a TJM. The lamps measure 9-15/16" in height x 8-12/16" width with a depth of 4-15/16".

Was wondering if anyone was good with photoshop maybe they could splice them out of the pic and see how they look on there. It's kinda hard with the angle of the pic and all.

Hella 4000s, no drilling necessary unless you want to use the optional 2bolt mounts.

I'm getting some Lightforce 170s, should be here anyday now .. they have an adjustable beam, and an indestructible front lens. Since you don't have the TJM15 you could actually get the 240's.

Talking Hella 500s w/ clear covers

Cheap and effective.

I have the Hella 500s and bamachem has the IPFs. His are way brighter, but way more expensive too.

ok I'll let you guys in on a little secret. Central 4wd hd a special on LF back in feb. I ordered them but I forgot to send in payment via credit card and by the time I realived it .. I figured it was too late. I called them up last week and asked if I could get the special price again .. he said sure no problem .. so I got the LF170 for $186 shipped. .. but their regular price is $219 shipped .. still a good deal

Thanks man. Hopefully some more good stuff on the table for the summer... but the new mountain bike and the new house are definitely stressing the wallet.

All are Lightforce 170's...

One thing Im noticing with Search and Rescue and some offroading myself that the rooflights get hit alot with branches up here in WA, and I always get made fun of by the jeepers for having lights up there...

I think my next cheap project will be some sliders of some kind for the lights up top...

This is for when I have time.. lol, im in the process of buying a house, and it aint cheap... hell after all said and done, i will have pennies to use for mods...

Something like this...






Sure they may be ugly, but I think it might help.

Nice pics. I might try to get the Hella 4000's my buddy works at a rover shop and they stock them so he can get me a discount on them.
