Driving lights in front plate hole?
Friday, October 03, 2008 11:50 AM
Since the Z24 front bumper cover I have doesn't have a plate hole cover I was thinking about cutting that area out and mounting two 6" round fog/driving lights next to each other rally car style. What do you think? I live back in the woods and its really dark back there plus we have a ton of deer and I always wish for more light. I'm going to set it up so that I can still mount the cover back up there incase I want to for looks. Any ideas on who makes a driving light that has a similar color to the Sylvania Silverstar headlight bulbs?

I love my Hella 500's and the bulb is replaceable so you could get matching H3 bulbs. You could also go with a smaller driving light like Hella 1300's...



You could also look into HID systems...

Thats what I was going for right there. How large a diameter are those lights?

Just to clarify, I've used the 500's twice around my neighborhood(just to see what they'd do) but the rest of the time, the covers have been on 'em. I barely use the 1300's since I put my HID system in though...

I'm being responsible with my lighting

im wanting to do that to my Z bumper. cut out the hole in the middle. but im gonna make it so i can use my Filler plate still. and cover it up when im not using it. only time i would use them is when im on the highway and wire them with a relay to come on with my high beams.
