Anyone know proven method of installing offroad lights in the lower air dam opening, seen couple of trucks with this done, very clean look. Wondering if just drilled, or added so sort of reinforment?

In the lower airdam opening there are three holes w/ plastic caps in them at the top. I had to widen them out a small amount to get the bolts the came w/ my PIAA's into them. Other than that I just put a washer on the bolts when I bolted them down. Holding up just fine. No pics since at work but could prob find pics from when I did it under a search.

Don't have any pics of the install but it was pretty straight forward. Pull plastic caps out of holes at top of lower grill. Drill out the hole a little bit to accept bolt. Place washer over bolt, guess you really don't have to use one but I did, tighten nut to secure. Connect PIAA harness's. Wire up to battery, run wires and then find a location to mount switch. Could do it a lot faster a second time if I needed to.

i built a bracket for the lights, they giggle a lot if you just use the holes that are there.

Is there a reason the center light is a tad lower than the other two? Did you add washers to achieve that or was it necessary so that it would fit between the others?maxima619 said:Enjoy...:cheers:

What size of lights are you guys running?
Does it make a difference having them upside down?
Would this lightforce light work? Not sure about mounting them upside down.

My PIAA's are a 6" light. Pretty slim profile. Directions say you can mount them upside down as well. Just have to rotate the lens so can read PIAA. Why? I don't know, but I did it and periodically have some condensation in them. If I was to do it again I would just leave the lens as is. It can't make that much of a difference.

My Friend has those lights on his quad with retro-fit HID's in them they will throw quite a ways!

Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with the 3 light setup, just gotta find three lights, most of the kits are two lights and can't buy just a single light--ugh! I might just buy three of the single ProComp lights and be done with it even though they aren't really what I'd prefer to have. Gonna check out some things online today and see what I come up with.

What you can do is just get 2 sets, use the 3 up front, tint the extra one amber to use on the rear as a dust light.54warrior said:
