Topic: added some lights

[shad]

Well here's the latest I have done to my truck.
I got my digital camera working again it involved some tape engineering but it works for now.

Anyways I added 2 Hella 550's to my rollbar and welded on some light tabs to my bumper added 2 hella 500's to it.
I also made some windsheild brackets for some hella 500's which I only have one for now since the other one is broken.
I'll be adding a second hella 500 light to the passengers side.



Closer view of the hella 500 on the windsheild


The bracket pretty simple 3/16" flatbar welded together drilled some holes and secured them with self tapping bolts



Got Light?

Take a picture of the road ahead with just head lights on and with all the lights on. See how well they work

They work pretty well I went offroading saturday night with them on it lit up the trail nicely almost like daytiime.
The only issue it's hunting season out here too many lights may piss the hunters off.
I did have a tree fall on the truck wheeling saturday it broke one of the Hella 550's we jb welded the light and let it sit overnight.
 I was able to put it back up there on sunday and so far so good.
I may have to do a alternator upgrade sometime though my 980 CA Optima seems to be handling it though.

ditto, also how did you wire them?  Give some details on how you ran the wires and if/how you used relays.

I used a relay per each light set. So 3 relay's in total. If you want a constant power source you can always wire the light switches to the fuse box for the dome light.
I put one light switch close to the dimmer for the winsheild pilllar lights next switch is right next to that one for the front bumper lights.
The switch for the rollbar lights is close to the cigarette lighter.

Here's a little diagram how each relay is wired to the lights

This is a ouch I got from wheeling when a tree fell on my truck.

One more to add to the many I allready have on it.
