Offroad lights mounted on stock FJ

First and foremost I'd like to thank FJ Dragon for his intitial write up on "homemade Foglight Brackets" Primarily beacause I started with his bracket setup and modified it a bit for my purposes. So hats off Dragon, thanks a ton. I'd also like to thank "Mo" for his write up on installing his Hella's and switch!

Here is the grill removed and my brackets mounted. I used the same riser measurements as Dragon, but added a inch in height. Next came a cross bar to give me a little more width and then I continued with Dragons Measurments again and just bolted them further out to support larger offroad driving lights. I went with 6" Hella Black Magic's and I've got to say they are awesome.


Here they are installed.


A side view.


Front angle.


Relay mounted.


Inline Fuse


Firewall port.


Swith.


Now on.


Little darker out.


Night.


Here is the Diagram the best I could Corel Paint.


And I'll try to get a few when it gets darker if anyone wishes.

Oh and here's my mountain getaway ... 7 miles from MT. Mitchell and the reason for the lights.


Thanks again Dragon!!

........Dan

Re: Offroad lights mounted on stock FJ

Re: Offroad lights mounted on stock FJ

A wee bit, but things aren't really tight yet either, because I haven't got the lights aimed perfectly. I also used 3/16" thick steel and read somewhere about some foam/rubber I could use to help with that. I think Adop (sp) mentioned it. But even a little loose they seem quite steady, not much shake at all.

Re: Offroad lights mounted on stock FJ

Nice install and very clean looking too. Good job! I like those black magics, do they come with any type of stone guard or cover?

Re: Offroad lights mounted on stock FJ

Great install AND pics!

Do you have any concerns about someone liking the hellas enough to yank them?
