projector ish driving lights

bought some, they're about 2.5 inch x 5 inch (friggin huge!!)

nowhere really to stick them, 2 options,

1 on either side of the front license plate (lower part)

2 inside the engine compartment behind the grill, possibly cutting out parts of the grill for proper fitment

suggestions? show me what you got...

oh, yes, duh, its a 92

i can't find anything on the net about them, they're blazer diamond blue 9866, bought them off the surplus section of princess auto for 20$, they look kinda like this



like i said, 2.5 inch diameter, 5 inches long, uses a 894 bulb

probably won't mount them with the tape either, i'd like to be able to adjust them laterally

Next to the license plate sounds good. if you could put them in the grill with a stealth install though, then it would be tight. haha, i would flash cars every once in a while...

they're too cheap to stick in my headlights, plus they're only 37.5W

i'll install them when i get home from work, actually shit, i'll have to wait for crappy tire to open, unless i can make a little bracket from shit i can find at home

i'll put them behind the grill for now, if i get ambitious i'll cut out my grille

i'll just bolt them onto the existing holes in the top of the grille with a little bracket sticking back a bit

you could probably mount them pretty low... where those little verticle supports are for the front bumper

they barely fit in there, i'd have to swivel the support and they'll be sticking out, it'll look pretty dumb, plus i'd have to use the sticky tape, or drill through my bumper and even then i can't really get to the other side, cuz of the metal bumper under there

ok, so so far the plan is to cut out the middle part of the grill for about 2.5 inches, use a flat bracket at the top of the grill back a bit to hold the projector bracket


i'll cut her up in the morning. hopefully wont' fuck it up too much

u should mount at the bottom of the grill because the top part is soft... and doesnt provide good support.. u will have to remove ur horn to do this properly if u want it the same spot as where mine is... im currently using airhorn so i didnt need my stock horn there... also i didnt have to glue theparts i cut out i had to use a dremel to smoothen things over though... that's basically it.. good luck oldman...

mounted from the top, boro bracket to bring them back, there will be a phase 2 to this, mounting them a bit more fwd in the grille,

they're right at the begining of the second section of the grille inways a bit, horn was moved down

the lights are too long to go in the sides without having to make a totally new bracket for them, that's step 2...

i'm sure i'll get bored this winter and bring my grille in to fiddle with it
