Went out and bought 4 cheaper 6" round light's for the Baja... Looks freakin sweet!

For being as cheap as they were, they're actually high quality! Very sturdy.

I also installed some front turn signals. They're fully potted LED style. Nice and bright.

What do you think?

Not too sure about the "Rubber Boot" on them yet. It has nice chrome mounts, So I may just take them off... What do you guys think about them?

I'll be wiring it up today. Need to pick up 2 12v relays. Already got the switches to mount in my console. Nice chrome ones with LED's in the tip.

Looks good . We need some full car shots so we can see just how well every thing blends together. No really we want to see the car not just the lights.

Pics finally loaded, front shot looks great. Post more of the Baja, it's like V-Dub porn.

Hahahaha... I'll snap some full shot's tonight in it's natural environment..(In the woods) Grab some tissue...LOL

The fogs really made this thing look bad @ss IMO. Kinda completes the Baja look.

I would love to upgrade them to the HID style, but I have a Lamborghini appetite on a VW budget. ;) These will work for now.

Looks Awesome! Are you going to fab a tree limb bar to protect them?

Yea, kind of like this one. On this one, the top bar is really meant for stability (to keep the lights from shaking). For the forest people, the top bar will protect the lights from removal by tree limb...

^^^ I like that!! It will be done!

These are just temporary lights because I couldn't afford the good ones. They should work for the time being.

They have a really strong base to them, and I love the chrome.

Oh, I got them at Wal-Mart of all places... $22.00 bucks a piece and the brand is...bleh... Rally.

They had the Hella ones there, really nice flat style for $65.00 a pair. I should have went that route but they only had one pair and I like the chrome on these.

hey could you take some pictures with your lights on in the dark?

kinda like this.

like where there is something in the background a ways away to see how much light they put off.

ive been wanting to do this on my car. except mounting them on the bumper.
ill probly just get the cheap kind like you got.

And when someone is tailgating you, you can flip it on and scare the hell out of them.

I can take some pics... But first I have to wire them up... Hopefully this weekend. It didn't come with wiring or relays. I did buy the cool switches with LED's in the end of them.

If you look at the full frontal shot, the orange turnsignals are also from WalMart. 7 bucks each. They're LED style and hella bright!! (Pardon the pun)

The PO put in two little tiny lights just under the ones I put in... LOL where you can't see them. If you look, there is a little tiny orange spot directly to the left of the lower bar on my bumper.... yeah.

Here in Oregon, the police officers will pull you over for such stuff.

Those lights are cool. That kind of setup will give you a really bright vision at night.
