First of all, I know my car is a bit dirty wink.gif

I'm not sure if you have these sort of extra lights in Britain, but here in Sweden they are very popular. Unfortunately they are even more popular among thieves. This is my way of dealing with the problem while keeping it discrete. I'm not finished yet. More pictures are coming tomorrow. Cheers

LOL thats mental, Do look great though. hmmmm ideas ideas.

You only really see them on 4x4's and imitation rally cars over in the UK, but obviously you prob need them a bit more in Sweden, with snow dark etc.

So do I smile.gif They are currently fitted with 6 x 55W bulbs but they can be replaced with 100W bulbs or even HIDs if the result isn’t satisfying enough.

The xenons, though, are jolly expensive

Thanks smile.gif I will post more pics tonight, let you know how it turns out.

In Sweden you can see pretty much any type of vehicle fitted with extra lights, cars, trucks, buses, ATVs, snowmobiles etc.

Some people even seem to drive around in extra lights with cars fitted to them biggrin.gif

Finally finished! The most exhausting job I've ever done with my car turned out to be refitting the sports grille. It took a lot of curses to get it mounted again.

They are connected to the high beam, so no one will ever see them, but I will certainly see the moose before I hit it biggrin.gif

I will certainly do that. I tried to take a few comparison photos last night, but was too foggy.

Thanks. They will probably get just as dirty as the rest of the front and I'll clean them the same way, using water with high pressure. If I need to, I can quite easily use a cloth or similar behind the grille. There's actually quite a lot of room.

Thank you smile.gif

If you mean the rear, I've already replaced the rear lights with LED ones. I have to admit I'm not perfectly happy with the look of them, but they are really good.





Tonight I tried drove to the darkest place around and took a few photos. Not ideal environment or weather, but you get an idea.

Low beam - 6000K HID


High beam - Original lights + EX3000 Ultra (6 x 55W)


Daylight picture of the extra lights
