Driving Lamps
This is the first pic I've taken since installing the new PIAA 570 LED lamps
Wired them so they are in sync with the highbeams and I can independently turn them off as well. |

They look fantastic! I have been thinking about something similar. How did you mount them?

I had a friend fabricate a bracket using channel and angle iron. The holes allow me to fit the lamps at various distances from one another. Last, this design does not accommodate an oil cooler - which I'm OK with.
This picture is facing the front of the car:
This is side is to the rear of the car:

I followed your link in post and saw the lights. Are the PIAA grills from there also?

Yes...but do your homework. I found some come with no covers, others come with an all white cover, and others come with the grill. I believe the 570's initially came with white covers and newer packages come with the black grill. I think what is happening are vendors are taking packages apart and selling them separately. So be forewarned...
I did buy the white covers separately later so I now have both.

So you attached the fabricated bracket to the frame of the car not the fiberglass nose right?

Nope, I fastened it to the nose with rubber grommets. I had concerns about that, but the weight is very very low while the nose was very rigid. Is it ideal? Nope. I was contemplating a support bracket from far left wall to far right wall this would have also allowed for an oil cooler to be installed. That said, the width would have to be perfect and since I wasn't fabricating the frame, didn't want to have it come out too short or long in length after going through too much fabrication work. There were some other challenges as well. |
