Hi all, I have been on the hunt for driving light mounting bracket, but it seems that I have NFI what im actually looking for.. I have had the image below saved to my phone for years as a bit of inspiration for my own car & I really like how the middle 2 lights sits slightly higher than the outer 2. If know the name or style of this bracket my google search history would appreciate having a rest. Also if you have driving lights mounted on your roundnose I'd love to see pics! Thank you |

Here's the light bar I made, it used thick plate bolted to the subframe and comes up through the grill, the centre support you can see that goes around the bumper adds a lot to the stability. I didn't like how most of the similar light bars available needed holes drilled in the front.

There’s a photo of one here, it doesn’t look much more than two foglight brackets with a bent piece of bar in the middle? http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/to ... rk/page-20 |

I have made a 'factory style' bar and brackets similar to "fuzzy-hair-man": bolts to subframe, under grill, no holes in stone tray. Have also made a modified version with just the brackets bolted to the subframe, under the grill and resting on the bumper bar. Again, no holes in the bodywork. |

NSW Police mounted most driving lights directly on the panel behind the bumper. To improve rigidity and hence lessen vibration a large washer welded to some threaded tube was installed in each hole, with the Hella driving light stem in the middle.

Here's the setup I run on my roundie van. I picked up the vertical brackets from a mate years ago so no idea who made them originally but they mount off the bottom valance and the bonnet slam panel. I then made up a cross bar for the centre two lights. Everything is mounted nice and solidly and having the driving lights up slightly higher gives a good bit of range and spread at night. |
