Looking to install some rally lights like the ones pictured. What is the usual size of these and how do they mount? Close up mounting pics would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.race-cars.com-12683-1298385947.1.jpg) |

Another thing you need to remember is that the benefits of powerful driving lights are severely diminished by mounting them low. Along with this, the side effect of blinding oncoming drivers is increased. True rally cars have the lights mounted as high as is feasible. While these aren't "fog lights" (which should be mounted as low as possible), they share the side effect of actually decreasing your ability to see at a distance because the foreground is flooded with bright light. Don't take my word for it, do a little research on your own.
