I have been doing TSD Rallies with the Finger lakes region SCCA. The larger portion of these rallies are at night so I decided I needed some extra lighting. Since I am in college I didn't have the funds to buy lights, so I called a friend of mine that I worked with and he told me that he had a old set of hellas I could have.
I wanted to make the mount removable because I didn't want to have the lights on the car all the time. So here is what I came up with.
pulling the bumper off

I knew the plug and play projecter set-up would come in handy

So the license plate holes are 7" apart so I made this bracket for bracing with nuts welded to the plate

I glued it to the back of the bumper

I cut a piece of aluminum square tube to my specs

and installed back on the car

I also picked up a spare foglight switch at a local junkyard. I knew I was going to mix this up with the Stock projector fogs so I colored the backside of the button so I could tell the two apart
