Just finished my custom light bar!!!

[f12xbear]

I just finished fabricating a custom light bar for my Ridge. Using the stock roof rack, I attached two(2) sets of PIAA fog lights, with level adjustments, and ran the wire through the cross bar, under the rubber, down the rails to the back of the truck. I then ran the wires through the inside and to the engine bay. Two sets of fuses, switches and relays and she was ready to roll. Let me know what y'all think.

Very nice and hunting-type looking or very official in some sort of capacity.
I am impressed with the ideas and abilities of our members to dress up their trucks.
Good job!

Great Job!!!

I REALLY would like to know how much MORE light they put out. I don't have my RL yet but we go from New Mexico north through Colorado and Wyoming to Montana (my mother still lives there) and there are a gazillion deer on the roads at night in Wyoming.

I was going to mount about six (three sets of 2) on the front someway and angle them differently and have two on a switch so I could switch them on as needed? I hate to spend the money for PIAA if lessers will do. I had thought about mounting them in the middle cutout area of the bumper - hopefully it wouldn't cut down too much on air flow.

Thoughts and suggestions please. Wasn't thinking of getting the roof rack so that wasn't an option.

Thnx

Looks great. I can't use it because of the ski rack, but more power to you.

It DOES look great..nothing like that "custom" look to your own vehicle. But as for extra lighting, I can't believe how much light comes from my high beams at night!!!!

[danimal]

ps. looks good

Very nice mod! I would like more details about the install. I also agree that we need a picture at night.

Great, but

Foglights are to be mounted at bumper level or lower, in order to be effective in fog/ snow, etc.

Driving lights are to be mounted no higher than original lights on truck.

Now, OFF-ROAD, no rules apply

Getting all of them with 130-150 watt each would do a great job, and likely melt the highway in the process.

Thanks for all the great feedback! I will get you all a nighttime pic soon. As far as using them for fog, i hadn't planned on it. Just for launching the boat at night and camping. OFF-ROAD use only. This was not intended for any other use. Thanks again and I will keep you updated.
