LS/LT spotlight install

[Mullett]

I do a lot of night/country driving, and these were sitting in the shed...the rest is history. I don't like mounting lights on the front bar/protruding, especially on anything that isn't a 4wd, but there's a surprising amount of room behind the front grille...

Remove the top cover. The grille will have to come off eventually, but it's useful to have it in place now to check clearances.



Cut off this bracket



Cut two peices of 50x50x3 angle bar to support the lights, mark, drill and bolt them to existing bolt holes with M6 bolts and stainless nuts.



Cut a peice of 40mm flatbar to support the lights (I used aluminum because it was there)



Notch the support bar



Lights attached!



Use this wire to trigger your relay (NEVER run spotlights off the headlight wires...they'll melt)



Lights attached and wired up with the grille removed



Everything put back into place and ready to go!



This is pretty straight forward, the biggest peice of advice I can give is to check fitment at EVERY stage, you want all the covers to go back on neatly without interfering or rattling. Also, what works on my car might not work on yours...you might have different coloured wires, different stuff under the covers etc. The grille doesn't affect the lights too much, i've tried with it on and off.
