Ahh, unity pillar spot lights. Measure 20,000 times, and drill once.
Great install. After installing nearly a dozen of these so far, i've always wonders want they would look like on an FJ. Not bad. Very good work on hole in the plastic pillar.
Thanks, 5150!! Yep, it certainly is a "measure and re-measure" project. (No second chances once that 1/2" drill bit bites into the A-pillar.)

Gutsy move! I don't think I could do that install.

Re: SPOTLIGHT (Post-Mounted): Installation w/ lots of pics!!

Awesome write-up. With your how-to and parts list, this is a much more manageable install. Thank you very much Steve. Reps to you.

So... spotlight on driver's side, snorkel on passenger side and 5 gallons of gatorade to alleviate dehydration associated with sweating profusely while drilling .

Crap. I have to spread some rep before I can give you yours... I won't forget.

Very cool write-up. I like the install. It would be an exceptional idea for those not intending to install a roof rack too.

Fantastic write up Steve. Very detail oriented and a guide worthy of archive. Thanks for taking the time and documenting all the steps.
