Need help on where to put hella 500s
My stinger mounts in the ideal spot for my lights. so now i need to find a way to orient them. i think inside the stinger might be to close but im afraid outside of the stinger or mounted to it wont look right.
Can someone photoshop me some light ideas please, i will not be putting them on the roof
heres what im workin with

Did you make that bumper yourself? If you wouldn't mind drilling holes in it you could make a light bar for the area in-between your stinger. I'd run some lag bolts through it with a threaded bar and some heim joints so you could adjust it or take it off even.

Yep i made it. i didnt really make it with lights in mind but came up with a set in some trading so i figured why not lol.
The thing about putting them inside the stinger is they will be almost touching close. the lights them selves are about 5 inches wide a piece. they have to be mounted even closer to the center so im not touching against the stinger. if i do that im afraid it will look bad cause they will be right up against each other

im thinking ill prob end up with something like that only low enough to where they are below my head lights. my stinger sticks out pretty far so the higher i go the further away the hellas would be from the jeep. you can get an idea from pic 3 i posted

Well odgreen youve changed my mind. im going to try to mount mine on the inside of the stinger. your bar is mounted a little wider than mine but i think from the look of yours with the 7s stuck in there i can prob squeeze my 5s in no prob.

if you're not dead set on HELLA you should check out these. Dan only carries awesome products. great warranty too
I personally prefer them mounted on the A pillars
