Help me place my driving lights

[theholycow]

These are going to be ugly no matter where I put them. Well, I gotta see.

1. Inside vertical bumperettes


2. Outside license plate


3. Under high beams


4. Under low beams

[BillyJeanKing]

Won't work like that. It looks like there's space for them there but there's not. The end result would be that they're entirely on top of the bumper and in front of the grill, and would look absolutely terrible on this car.

[TATERNATER]

than numero uno, porfavor.

[stonehenge]

#1 imo

[shootermcgavin003]

i was going to say in between bumper and grill

me i would find some that are rectangular not oval though would flow with car better

[race2c]

i like 1 or 3.

[shootermcgavin003]

if this was my car i would trim the bumper some take out the huge turn signals convert to fogs/turn signal combo

in fact you could just take out one signal bulb install a 55w bulb with a switch and have fogs and signal.

this would be cool.

any way to convert the inside bumper light to a DRL and the outside to a blinker?

[shootermcgavin003]

idk why you would want a drl on a 1981 car but the outside could be just the same as the inside its a bulb blinker in both lights

FIDIL

[shootermcgavin003]

now it looks very kyish

[TATERNATER]

sold!

never worry bout seein chit in the dark again!

[black06]

I'd mount them up and check the beam position to find the best location.........possible to take out the front tag bolts and use those to mount the lights? It's gonna be ugly anyways, so make it easily removeable.

[shootermcgavin003]

do you live in a camper now

[theholycow]

I went with option 1.

I spent way too long and struggled way too hard drilling into my bumper. At first I thought it was the hardest metal known to man...then I found my good drill bits and realized that the ones I was using were awful.

The space between the bumper and grill is an illusion. They could fit in front of the grill but it would be godawful fugly. I could remove the small grill sections under the headlights and put them there and make trim to fill the gap but that's too much work and I think it'd be more ugly.

These are rectangular.

That's actually a decent idea, if I had lights that look like they match the car. Not sure it'd work with these modern mofos.

Would not work. The housing doesn't have reflectors in it, and even if it did they'd be optimized for turn signals, not driving lights. I'm doing this because I can't see decently at night, my Buick's high beams are like an average modern car's low beams.

Yes, that'd be a piece of cake. I did something like that on my Cadillac. These days I feel that it would draw too much attention (as if the car doesn't already stick out like a sore thumb).

Mine isn't, only the inside is a blinker, the outside is just a single-filament parking light.

It's easily removable anyway, just four small screws holding them to the underside of the bumper. Take out screws, done.

No. I will eventually get back into taking it out for vacations though, if I ever have money before it rots to uselessness.

[stonehenge]

[shootermcgavin003]

Yup, those would match the car better.
