hey Patrick, I have been looking at doing the same. I found some for sale on ebay, but have the scrap here. However, the ad gave me an idea on how to build them.

Here's the pic I stole from ebay... lol

If you plan on mounting lights to your A-Pillars make sure you chose the correct lamps.

Never install anything other than a pencil beam. Fog or flood lights have no business here. they create a tremendous amount of glare and reduce you visibility.

Fogs and floods should be up front and below the headlights, pencil/spots lights go above the lights, preferably above the hood.
