      I think if you installed it on the bumper instead of in front of the grill it would look much better.

          bracket weighs 1.6lbs right now, and I might be able to make a lighter version.

            how would that effect the hood opening. I just mean like jutting out from the trim right next to the license plate/turn signals.

                  Hell yes! How much? Pics of bracket? Cost? etc?

                  Sturdy? That is important with AUX lights like this. If they bounce around and go everywhere it kind of fatigues the eyes at night.

                    still thinking of a price because I don't know how much something like this costs, its super sturdy.

                      Figure out cost of metal/materials and add on 5 or 10 bucks, or whatever you want, for every hour it takes of assembling.

                      get these going I'm interested in getting one

                        yeah I don't know how much to charge for labor, this one took me a while to make because it was the first one, to make it I have to weld,cut,drill,grind, measure,and test fit. Whats a fair price that you guys would be willing to pay, it really is a super sturdy piece, it wont bend, flex or anything. I'll add up what it costs for me to make one and I'll try to give a fair price without feeling like I'm doing a bunch of work for only $5 of profit.

                          I say make 25-30 each. Maybe even make 50 each. Depends on how much your time is worth to you :)

                            I like it, but does it leave a big dark spot at night when driving with the high beams on? Looks like it would block the light, could you make one where the lights are a little closer together?

                              Photo is not straight on and the highs just scatter light. Don't believe this will be an issue.

                                I don't think its in the way, but this is just the prototype so I will move them in if needed.
