Looking for a 4 hi (headlight) mod. Saw it somewhere...?

There is a kit I bought on eBay that when you turn your brights on it includes the fogs if that would be anything you'd be interested in, works damn good other than I wasn't too big on the scotch lock they sent so I soldered and heat shrank my connections.

I know they do the high 4, the kit I'm talking about that I installed doesn't let the factory fog lights cancell out in high beam

Anyone try adding an LED off-road light bar behind grille to make it hide away, but add the extra light? End goal for the vmax of mine is a zone 3" lift and wheels n tires but was considering a off road bar but want it hide it. Looking for mounting suggestions without cutting grille just let it shine throughout the mesh

I believe RIGID LEDS makes a kit to install the little square LEDS in the FOG LIGHT hole not what you want but gets you "closer"

That looks great, and pretty bad a$$ if I do say so myself. Where did you get the light bar

Rigid Industries makes the fog light mount for ~$70-80: http://www.rigidindustries.com/mounting-options/40337

 

You basically get to choose two sets of the D-Series lights to go with it. The sets run around $200 each. I went with one set of the new DOT/SAE approved ones, and one set of white/spot offroad ones.

 

The light strips behind the grille I did just for fun haha. Cost about $30

 

The headlights are from spyder, and the bulbs in them are PIAA Xtreme white plus. $300 for the headlights, $100 for the bulbs.

 

I did all of the work myself so no labor cost :)

Just looked again. $101cdn for the mount, $253cdn for each D2 light. = much $$$$ lol Looks great though!

The D2 is more expensive than the Dually, but they're the same size. Both can fit with this kit. The main difference is the D2 contains 6 LED's per cube, and the Dually only 4. The beam patterns also differ. I went with the Dually.

can I ask why?

The DOT/SAE approved fog light is only available in the Dually out of the 2. I really wanted legal ones tied into my stock fog switch. Then for the OffRoad only ones, it came down to cost.

 

I've actually ordered 2 more sets since, and I'm hoping to mount them in the next couple of weeks here. I'll post some pics when I do.

    • The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.                 
    • It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.  
    • They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years

    • I'd guess that it's because they are Mann-Hummel filters since about 2016, they own Wix and are mostly all made in China now.
