ARB Bumper drving lights & indicators...

Posted: Wed Jun 09, 2004 3:05 pm

My ARB bumper inidicators are shot. now since I still ahve the stock indicators - I see them adding little to no value.
So a thought that came to me was to fit a small set of driving lights instead.
Has anyone done this? Suggestions of brands/models of lights that fit would make it easy for someone as lazy as me Wink

No you do it and tell me! Smile

I was thinking about putting some small lights in there which because of the swept back angle of the ARB bar would make them ideal to light up the side of the road/track. However, I still wanted to keep the indicators in the bar too.

I was thinking of going out to the local motorcycle wreckers and see what used/new lights and indicators I could get to make up a dual setup sort of thing. Clear as mud?

Those 1500XT SERIES look like the sort of thing I'd like - either fog(probably) or driving (spread).....But what sorta damage are we talking? too be honest I've never really looked at PIAA....

Yeah I like the burns offroad setup.....except I don't know about having that other set of spotties right infront of your regular headlights Confused

As for those P-3000's - hmmm bit of a rice look Wink

mine are shot too (actually i think one works under all the mud and rust)
wondering what the legalities on chaging them, wasn't there something about bullbars having to have indicators?
i'd prefer to change mine to fog lights too.. piaa ones look trick.
anyone want to go measure the size of the opening for us? Very Happy

i think the burnsville off road is the 1500xt...
they had it on their web site ages ago..

i think the price of PIAA product are in the mortage zone..

the opening is 135x40
i dont even ahve a TJ and i know gezzz.....

thos light should be ok to sit just behind the opening.. like a 4runner bar indicators..

Those P-3000 TRI BEAM would be the go with the white marker hooked up to be the indicator with some orange film or something on the lense cover.. or an orange bulb???

edit....Oh the white marker is actually the blue bit and US$399 a pair.....

ahh some good ideas coming out of this!!
mattc you have the right idea... try and incorporate the spot into an indicator.
thanks for the size billsta Smile

looks like a little hacking of the hole and they could fit nicely

i like the 300 as well..
but at 399 us... thats what i was expecting in AUD... so i was a bit under estimating..

i dont know if i want to heck the hole, its only a few mm's off it might look ok if its set back a bit..

BUT... 399 us for something that is likely to get submerge in mud & water?
not too sure abou tit..
