Fog/Driving Light Bar or maybe Pod

I am looking to buy a Driving/Fog Lights for the RA... kinda like the ones they use in WRC... I found a guy on Cardomain that has 4 mounted on the front but he won't answer me on where he got them or what he has them mounted on with exactly... So I was wondering if anyone here knows where I can at least buy the lights for a decent price.. im in the Tacoma/Seattle Area...

Are you planning on entering a Night time rally event? I used to have a set of Hellas on the front of my lifted Blazer. I got pulled over and told that it is illegal to drive on a public road with the 5" lights turned on... I said that they were fog lights and it was foggy that night, and the cop told me the put the covers on them and to only use them for off road from now on... As soon as the cop was no longer following me, i turned them back on.


As for what he has them mounted on, It might be a custom made bar, or retrofitted from another kit. For a light bar, you can make one your self for quite a bit less than what you would pay for a premade one. Go to a local weilding shop and tell them what you want. The only thing you might have problems with is if you do not want to cut hols in your front bumper.

PIAA are nice but Hella is a better light for the price, hella also does more round driving and racing lights than PIAA. Watch WRC and you will see they all use Hella lighting.

I drilled holes in the bottom of the bumper support beam and mounted them with lagbolts.

ah! can't say that i like the four lights, but i have three sets of hella 500's i just took off my jeep. will sell them for $40 shipped. good shape, you get the light, relay, and i can through in a switch for free. you need wiring though. there is no sense selling old wire. pm me if you want them.

cheers!

OK OK I'm the guy with the lights

First its a custom made rack (a pain in the a$$ to made and fit well) and my lights are Hella 500 driving.

Here in Quebec Canada we can take off the cover if the driving was under or at the same height of the head lights. But we can only used them like high beam, so if you want to be legal , you've got to wired them to turn on when you turn on your high beam. (sorry for my bad english) If not (like me ) it's illegal, but with the fog, the head lights and this kit, you'll think its a sunny day in the middle of a dark night.

It's impossible to drive in traffic with them on............ it's really to bright for public roads, but if you do a lot of secondary road (like me) there will be very helpfull

There are some PIAA Rally light pods in the country for the Evo 6, 7 & 8. They will be available trough race shops this summer. I'm not sure if they will fit the RA though.



PIAA are nice but Hella is a better light for the price, hella also does more round driving and racing lights than PIAA. Watch WRC and you will see they all use Hella lighting.

You might want to check your facts!
