Adding Driving Lamps to your FIA/USRRC – “How To”.

The idea is to mount the stabilizing strut to that tab instead of the body as in some of the other pics. I'd need to bend it to make it work though. The brackets are stable enough not to need the stabilizer IMHO.

I got the Oscar SC's instead of the Super Oscars due to size. Though the Super Oscar's have that WOW!!! factor.

I got my lights from Daniel Stern Lighting. He is the nicest guy and knows his stuff like no other.

A couple more pics (I've since straightened the drivers fog lamp).

Best,

Great work, Ron! Innovative bracket design, too. It's great when you flip the switch and find that you don't have to troubleshoot anything..

As part of my "Winter" modifications, I'm just now getting my Cibies wired up. I purchased a fan relay harness through Speedway Motors to supply the power to my lights. The harness included a mess of wire, a circuit braker, a solenoid, and a few connectors. I ended up having to add some wire based on where I put my solenoid, but think the kit should work a treat. (cost effective, too, relative to piecing stuff together)

Jeez, is there some competition to make the most complex bracket? You guys did inspire me though so here are a few pics of my NON-FIA car with a set of Cibie Super Oscars. I sourced them from Europa Spares (not cheap!) https://www.europaspares.com/product...ng___Spot.html One is a driving light and the other is a spot.

The bracket is just angle iron from a hardware store.




Still not aimed but I'm digging the look.


Picked up these vintage looking headlight covers off of ebay.

The lights look great, Allen! I have always liked that look. With so many cool versions of the 289 cars it's tough settle in with one "Vibe". I say keep it dirty! ...but you knew I'd say that.

The lights look great Ron. When I as looking for Cibies I emailed Daniel Stern a couple of times and never got a response. That's why I went to yuerup for them.

I think Daniel has had some health problems, but is back to fully engaged.

Best,

Ron
