    Default 20W LED Spots

    I don't know how you guys get such good pictures of your LED installs, but I post what I took. These are 20W only about 1.5" in diameter.

    Mounted them on the top of the lower arm. Hot glued the wires under the bottom side to the ends. I have them wired into the headlight circuit, but added a switch in case they weren't aligned quite right and were blinding people. Yes, I added an air horn and the longer horn, I stuck in the same place, but its tucked behind the frunk.

    I paid $13 free shipping, they come from China, so about a month to get them. I used this guy:

    Liked the first two, so bought 2 more. This is daylight about 20-25 feet away. At night blinding. I added a switch so I could kill them if I get flashed. I think that I will wigwag the upper 2, waiting for the wigwag thing.

    Default WORD OF CAUTION

    Bill, I'm an X- LEO, and I would be very careful about doing the " WIG-WAG " thing......That is a Police ONLY thing in most jurisdictions .......If they BLINK together I think your OK tho.........I would check with the Locals ..........................Mike

    Thanks for reminding me that things change. Apparently, you use to be able to have a wigwag, but in WA no flashing white lites projecting forward. Actually, its a bit contradictory as to whether or not you can have more than 2 extra forward lights at all. One RCW says no, and another it says yes. You do need a switch so you can turn them off if need be. Also no blue light anywhere on the car flashing or not, and no red light facing forward, flashing or not. Unless of course you are an authorized emergency vehicle.

    So we learn everyday if we are lucky.

    Question

    Would you mind posting some closeup photos of the mounting locations (with the lights off)? I love your install but I am having a hard time picturing how/where you mounted the lights.
    Thanks...

    Being ADD I'm not much on perfection. Here are more pixs I hope this helps. I would wire in a switch, so if they are too bright or misaligned you can kill them.
