Lighting
Rock lights
Rock lights are nothing new, but what is new is the technology. Now days its all LED. More illumination with less power to operate.
The photo to the left was taken roughly 5 years ago in Naches, WA. The rock lights I used were Halogen work/utility lights, still available, but are lower output and drawn more power and are on the large size compared to lights today.
Lights, camera, air.
To keep with my “clean” front end look, I finally was able to mount my Rigid lights inside the grill.
The lower portion of the grill provided a bigger opening I needed. They are mounted to the lower AC condensor mount bolts and to each other on the inside mount. The inside mount is pressed against the center grill support. Its a tight fit, but no movement which is good. Will still fine tune the center mount to allow more inward/outward adjustments.
Hood Light
I just finished doing a full tune-up of Lilly this week, most of it done during the evening. After trying to get enough light under the hood using any combination of magnet, battery, chorded and adjustments, I thought how nice it would be to have a permanent light under the hood.
