M&S Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi all, I'm going to build some light pods out of aluminium and was wondering if someone could recommend some lights to fit? I was thinking 4" would be fine, I'd like flood and spot (two of each) and they need to be the lenses/bowls only really as I'll be screwing them into my own housing. Just after some pointers so I can start designing them. Hopefully theres some available as "bare units" Cheers, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 To do it 'on the cheap' BMW E34 series headlamps can work quite nicely... I think they are around 4" from memory, I can't measure mine as I sold them a week ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Thanks, any "cheap" ideas appreciated, might have to get a look around the scrapyards Should have said, the plan for these will be roof mounted, in a pod, rally intake style if that makes sense. It does to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Might be worth mocking up a roofrack mount before you dive in - roof lights are terrible unless visibility is 100%, you just end up lighting up the fog. On the plus side, snow + roof lights = star trek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Cheers John, I have a mock up in the shape of a mates 300tdi disco with light bar In the rain it was like warp-space 9 I've just fitted some lights to the front bumper today for on road driving (Rally Giants). These are legal jobbies for country roads I was thinking of the light pods for off-road use more than anything, and also a bit of a sheetr metal project as I don't have much experience at sheet metal work.
