New Lights For The LIL GREEN MONSTER

[BTVFD132]

I Fabed up my own bumper bracket & mounted them direct to the bumper.I hooked the KC day lighters up to my high beams via relay. Installed new driving lights from wally-world.Even thought of a name for the old girl LIL GREEN MONSTER.

BEFORE I GOT STARTED

AFTER NEW DRIVING LIGHTS

FAB WORK FOR THE DAY LIGHTERS

THIS IS MY BRACKET

DAY LIGHTERS INSTALLED

I PHOTO SHOPPED THE NAME ON THE OLD GIRL

Let me what you guy's think

i like it, i just put some lights on mine too. I like that you wired it into the high beams, i need to do that. Ive been running my with my low beams and keep getting flashed because im blinding people. Im gonna wire it into the highbeams like you now. I like the photo shop with the name. You could probably get that printed out, there's always booths that do that at car shows and swap meets

 

[BTVFD132]

Thanks. I plan on getting the name printed out. I know the guy thats does 90% of the sprint car decals where I'm at.

Let me guess, Ballville Township right? Your in my home town!

 

[BTVFD132]

How'd ya guess lol

Size

What is the size of the plate you mounted the lights on?

Now that you've finished it and tested it, did you need that many holes in the bumper? Would 2 or 3 have been sufficient?

 

[BTVFD132]

I just finished it tonight. Probably didn't need that many bolts but better safe than sorry. I'll have to measure it again in the morning & let ya know I don't remember off hand what the dimensions are. I think it'll hold up just fine till i can come across a bull bar & different bumper for it.

 

[BTVFD132]

Hey Gln the dimensions are 9x5

 

[X~FACTOR]

Pimp!

 

[BTVFD132]

Well i finally got to drive the X at night (4am) a few times on my way to work & the lights worked gr8. I even spotted a few dears that i probably never would have seen.

 

[little x]

Looks really nice with them right next to each other like that.
Do you have driving lights or fog lights (square ones)? Your sig says fog, but this thread says driving.

 

[BTVFD132]

thanks little x. & thanks for bring my typo to my attn: they are driving lights

BTVFD132,

Look good...

The lower lights are a good idea too especially mounted as they are.

Nice... tell us about the install, the usual stuff, wire gauge, fuses, etc. thanks.


Happy New Year.

 

[BTVFD132]

Well i'm not to good at writing all that tech stuff like most ppl on here. But I used a 30amp relay & a 30amp fuse before the relay.As far as the wire gauge I used the same size that came on the lights, what ever size that maybe not to sure. (LOL) I used a piece of 1/8 inch plate steel That measures approx: 9"x5" & used some bolts that were laying around to fasten it to my bumper.The nuts have the poly on the end of them so they don't come loose.The drill bits had the sizes worn off of them so I just eyeballed them till I found the ones that were just a little bigger than what the bolts were.OH and I removed the grill it made tightening the bolts down out lot easier.

Sorry it's not technically wrote out,but I'm more of a hands on kinda guy.

 

[Sandy]

That's good...

Did you use separate relays for the Fogs and the other larger lights ?

Luck,

 

[BTVFD132]

kc i used a relay 4,but replaced the stock driving lights w/the fog/driving lights

 

[Sandy]

So this means you have four lights on one relay ?

 

[BTVFD132]

no no no the driving lights replaced the stock driving lights. i added the kc & put them on a relay

 

[Sandy]

OK good, the stock wiring should have a relay in place.

Good job, looks good and should work well.

luck
