Got my bracket and lights installed a couple weekends ago. Took a little work, but it turned out good. The switch was the pain of the operation, that took the longest to route and wire up. Finally got around to taking pictures of the lights though... Thanks for the help with the brackets kgdblu!

That looks really good . Where did you mount your brackets ?? If I was to do it again , I would mount my driving lights a bit higher so go out alot further. Other then that , everything is lovely.

Thanks.
The brackets are OutMotoring. I don't think they sell them anymore, but I have seen them in other places.
They mount to the structural bumper behind the bumper cover. Pretty cool design really.
The have two options for mounting the lights, one is about 2" lower than the other. I'm on the lowest setting. The light still throws plenty far, but I do notice more shadows of bumps and cracks on the road. I'm amazed how far the light throws... way farther than my high beams.
I tapped into the parking lights for the relay so I can toggle them on as long as the parking lights are on. I wanted the switch to be close and easy to reach so I could toggle them like high beams since they are much more effective. Getting that switch all the way to the mirror control was harder than removing the bumper and mounting the lights. I also had a hard time finding a good place to set a ground. I ended up using an unused hole up by the radiator and also one on the upper left part of the dash for the switch.

Hmmm...I just looked through my bookmarks and didn't see it. Maybe on my other computer. I know I just looked at the site less than a week ago. I can't remember what I was trolling for and came up with that. I'll post back if I find it.

Call Aaron at Outmotoring. He has designed a set that mount just like the earlier style does. It's a bit different & improved.
