i attached mine to the grill with slimlites you might have to do some 'fudging' to get them how you want them
good luck!

works great.

temp never changes, not even a scoach...
but our weather is generally colder here anyway
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Just make sure the person who flashes the lights isn't in an unmarked Charger... I made that mistake with my 6 100w (4 flood, 2 spot) lights with my XJ. He swerved as well, but then whipped a U-ie and pulled me over. He didn't take to kindly to my display of superior lighting.

pfff. he was just jealous... he had to pull you over cuz he wanted to peep your setup.
yea we got chargers too. and the new impalas... and a few cops have those turbocharged cobalts... a few towns over they have unmarked magnums
we live in a tough area lol... some cars around here are a little faster than the norm...mine and my fathers street cars...we dumped piles of money in em
we have the occasional friendly race...he jumps me outta the gate... but once my tires stop spinnin, its over




cops here dont allow much fun tho

Yeah we got some nasty little suckers for cop cars around here. Got a few camaro's packing hopped up 427's (LS I don't know the number), a few unmarked mustang svt cobra's sporting bright red paint and the obnoxious body kits, and I'm pretty sure some backwoods town a county or 2 over has a unmarked bronco on 35's cause of the illegal wheeling thats increasing. And the cop asked me what watt the bulbs were so he could throw one in his a-pillar spot light lol. No ticket, just a "turn em off like you do your high beams" speech.

Around here we got the usually stupid slow crown vics then in the little barn of a police garage they actually have a bright yellow vette seized in a drug bust used for chases and such plus the usual chargers and magnums a few camaros with the ls2's and then its the DNR with the jacked up f350s and broncos but what was so funny to me is the new JK unlimited they just purchased it looks like they went crazy with a quadratec magazine i wish i could get a picture of it plus its is that purty green i wish my xj was it is so cool sad its a gov't vehicle though maybe one day it will go to auction

the jerk is the guy who doesn't dim his lights for on coming traffic; a headlight fight is much better /you get to go home with the other car(stuck in your grill)

In hindsight, I shouldn't have said what I said. I still don't agree with flashing someone who has their brights on, it doesn't help anything.

WTF? I don't see a durango or explorer being able to go many places that people would offroad illegally. A 2 door Wrangler Rubicon, maybe.
