[QUOTE="Nuzzy, post: 1131169, member: 15952"] Tore the PIAAs out of my Dodge (never used them or liked them) and decided to use 'em as rock lights. Also picked up a couple cheapy sets of Pilot bullet style driving lights at Autozone for mids and rear wheel well. I'm really struggling with placement of the fronts. With no wheel wells, my mounting areas are greatly diminished. I'm worried that placing them on the firewall will result in them getting pelted with rocks/debris since that puts them in the line of fire. This seemed to be one of the only places where they were relatively safe and still pointed near where I wanted them. They're tucked behind the grill hoop as much as possible, but still are a bit of an eyesore... I'm open to suggestions. :cool: [IMG]http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t135/yzzun/DSC00704.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t135/yzzun/DSC00705.jpg[/IMG] Ignore the wires.
