There isn't a lot of room, you'd also need one of the curved ones to maximise the space.

I'll take one tomorrow - I made the mounts from Aluminium registration plates, the 3mm stock sheet I had was too thick to fold properly, the bottom is drilled to take the bumper fixing screws, at the top, I drilled out a blind rivet on the crossmember / slam panel and made the length between folds ~3mm short so the mounting plate would be pulled tight between the fixings.

I gave up the idea about hiding the LED-bar, went fully visible instead

Not convinced hiding auxiliary lighting is a good idea. If you need extra lights get them up and unobstructed. On my previous TD6 I made up custom brackets for a light bar at the top of the grill. I still have the bar but would fit with a numberplate bracket if I decide to fit it.

If it were more than just 'fill in' whilst the HiD's got up to full output, I'd agree. I accept there will be some losses & diffusion and I wouldn't suggest it has a function other than short range flood lighting.

Thanks, it's not bad - I knocked up one side between paying jobs on a Saturday, the measurement and trial fits took the time, the other side is just a mirror so you don't need to re-measure everything.

If you look at the photo of my old TD6 you will see the main light bar but also there are two lower down on the bumper the same as Phoenix`s lights. The lower ones were switched separately and angled outward slightly outward, used as trail lights. the main bar was wired with a remote control relay so could be switched from inside or outside of the car. The light output was massive

Ive sold tonnes of these to van owners who lease their vans... That way they can fit & remove them without any long term damage... Fitted lots to D4's but not to a FF as yet... |
