Spots and Fogs

Post by Enzo79 »

I am slightly jumping the gun as the van isn't even on the road yet... but family members keep asking me what to buy me for Christmas, so am thinking spots and fogs for the front.

I am a bit old school, so am going to stick with the standard single round headlamp grille as the headlamps are easy to get, and would hate to pay out on an overpriced set of second hand square stuff for one to get smashed by a stone, I have also read about all these 7" LED conversions, but cant justify the money.

I will however make a nice chunky headlamp loom, with some big relays and stick some Osram Nightbreakers or similar in, to get the best from the standard setup.

I fancy some extra lamps mounted above the front bumper, so was thinking of going for two sets of those stainless brackets from Brickwerks, and fitting a pair of fogs with relay wired to factory fog switch, and also a pair of driving/spots that only come on with the main beam.

I am a little indecisive, and will chop and change my mind loads if left to my own devices, but time is against me here... Christmas is fast approaching.

The only rule is the lamps must be Hella, other than that I have no idea what to go for... round or square? big or small?

Anyone have pics of lamps fitted on those brackets?

Any opinions greatfully received.

I did just what you said but made my own brackets, as I wanted the lamps to be framed by the lower grill
