916 Spoiler, Mounting Driving Lights Options

[jgara962]

PO mounted these rectangular lights which I'm not to crazy about. I would like to get a set of Pilot lights from CAMP, and cut out the holes to mount them behind the spoiler. I've looked behind it, but can't figure out how I would mount them. The spoiler is blended into the flares, so it's not coming off, making this more of a challenge. Anyone have ideas or pictures of what they have done?

Thanks

The square lights are just mounted to the spoiler - right where I would cut the hole for the Pilot lights. Not having seen them, I think there might be enough clearence to get them in from the backside, although you bring up a very interesting point. Once I cut the holes out, and get the lights back there, I just don't see anything to mount them to.

Right, the problem isn't getting the lights behind the bumper - you'd have to holesaw an opening for them anyways, and if you used probably a 4.75 inch or so hole saw, you'd be able to simply push them in.

The problem is then how do you bolt them down?

One way I just thought of would be to get a photo showing exactly where the stock mounting bolt is located. Then use a small hole saw (an inch or so) to make an opening right over that spot. That would probably give you enough room to get the light mounted in the factory manner.

Although I had to modify my Pilot bracket on one side to get it to work. The other side worked fine. Probably just an issue with my particular car/916 bumper. But for both sides, it took quite a bit of adjusting to get them just right and how I wanted it.

It would have been very tedious and frustrating doing that with the bumper in place, using only a small access hole. But it probably could have been done.

Although of course then you'd have to fill those holes and paint. Filling the holes wouldn't be hard, but painting . . .
