New lights on my 96

OK so the roof ones are new.. but i just learned how to put pictures on here so they are all new for the forum. Heres a couple of pics. I have 2 driving lights right below the license plate, 2 bumper lights, and 4 roof lights, that i have the stock fogs and HIDs in the headlights. let me know what you think.

this last one show my new rims and tires too. 15x8 american racing with 31x10.5x15

I think it looks great. Looks like you cant outdrive your lights.

Awesome man, really like it. How did you wire the roof rack lights?

 

[Andy96XLT]

Thanks guys,
for the lights i just have them mounted on the stock cross bar and than the wiring is brought down along the bar behind it and black electrical taped. Its not the prettiest job from right up close, but from a few feet back you can't even see it. The ugliest part i think is going from the bar to the cab, in which there is just a big wire going across the little piece of roof into the drivers rear door. I will take daytime pics today to show everyone.

OK, I think that's how I did mine too, was curious.

this is the wiring on the bar

this is a close up of the bar and where the wire comes in

not lights, but my new rims and tires anyway ha

Nice!!

Now go get some new lugnuts to replace the rusted ones jk
I wanted to put 2 lights on the roof rack but I'm afraid it will look like a mouse so I'll be looking into putting 4 up there

 

[Paraphoe]

Love it. IMO, you can never have too many lights. Well done.

haha i know even my dad was like your car would look better if your lug nuts didn't suck, i'll invest in a set soon. As for the lights... i had two on top for a little while. heres a pic to show you how it looks.

Thanks for the pics Andy, but I think I'll knock the lights off with the trees outside my house, so I'll mount them on the bumper, also I want to upgrade to an 02 or 03, we just upgraded my gf's 95 to an 02 and it's now my turn

Thanks, They are 10,000 Xentech's. they actually give quite a bit of light but in bad weather i need to use my yellows. I am trying to get new headlight housings at some point that are nicer so hopefully that will make them stand out even more and spread a little more light.

Looks good, what kind of lights are those on the roof?

 

[Andy96XLT]

they are the wal mart specials haha. I bought them on ebay, 2 sets for about $20. They are 55 watt but they give a nice amount of light. The part number is NV-331 if you want to look them up.
