So i finally got around to installing my off road lights behind the grille on my Wk.
I have not wired them fully yet (making my own HD wiring harness) but i have had this set of Hella 500FF series 7" off road lights for over a year that i saved after selling my XJ. They have 55w bulbs in them now but i might do 100w bulbs, and in the future i can convert them to HIDs if i have the $.
I mounted them to the underside of the top of the stock grille. The mesh grille i made for it will help protect them and allow more light to pass through the grille.
I used some 2"x2" spacers i made to drop them low enough to be centered roughly in the same pattern line as the headlights and high beams, kinda stepping down.
I will wire them up this week. I did have to make clearance holes in the underside of the hood so i carefully cut some 1.5" holes with my cordless drill and hole saw. That was nerve wracking.
These will be great on all the country back roads i drive regularily late in the evening going to and from the barn where we keep our horses.
