Not really. Bumpers aren't straight and the chrome was shot.

How do you wire up another set of lights? I have some PIAA spots wired to the stock fog light circuits on my 87 but want to add a pair of 100W off road / rally lights on a separate switch.

Would need at least a 20A fused circuit I expect. Can this be added to the fuse box? Or do you just do it stereo install style with a dedicated line from the positive terminal in the engine bay?

Is it best to use a low amp circuit through the switch in the cabin to a relay for the high amp circuit for the lights? Or just run through a switch that can handle the amps?

I have sealed beams. I think have lots of sealed beams...

Let me see what I can dig up, you might have yourself a deal if I can figure out how to ship stuff.

I could trade some of those for complete set of sealed beams or e36 -97-> front trailing arms :)

It's sold in almost every automotive shop around here and costs ~20€

Now if only I were in Finland...

[Rocla]

Is that sold somewhere or did you make that?

This thing bolts to same holes(or the new ones drilled) whre tha plate was bolted. Using long bolts though the rebar gives rigidy.

That'd be better, but you'd have to fab some kind of bracket or bar to hold the lights, like the white E30 pictured up there /\, you could mount the lights on the front of the bumper using the mounts on the lights, but you'd have to run the lights on their sides then and I would think the little bolt holding the light up would sag/fail in no time.

read the original post for how i did it with my Jetta..

forgive crappy/quick pshop johb.... but down in front of the bumper you dont interrupt airflow to the engine, although you run the risk of an idiot backing into you and destroying teh lights...
