Hella 500 mounting brackets.

[MXS]

I promised these photos MONTHS ago, and I finally uploaded them.

The lights are mounted using 1.5" x 1.5" Home Depot L-brackets. The bottom is attached only to the bumper skin with 3 bolts (you have to take out the headlights and detach the bumper to do this). The top part has a bigger hole drilled out for the bolt on the bottom of the light. They sit out far enough so that I can still take the grille out. The height is perfect, the only problem is I can't adjust them left to right. But due to the curve of the front of the car, they are angled out perfectly.

Questions? :smile:

How much bobble do the lights have mounted there? Also, the 500's should have a small amount of left to right adjustment because of the round seat they sit in.

Even on the bumpy rally roads, the lights don't bounce around too much. I thought it would be a lot worse. :)

:cry: That hurts me to see an engine bay dirty like that.

Nice!

If I had just tried to mount them like that, I wouldn't have sold them to you, most likely ;)

I tried a much more complicated way as I was too worried about bobble.
