    Scarlett glows. (LED Lightbar Mod)

    Not going to hit any back country potholes or deer this summer!!!

    Alpena 12LED Lightbar Rack mounted to the bumper through plastic license plate holder to a piece of aluminum plate




    Light-up red duckbill switch mounted to the dash. Sorry for the cruddy picture




    Like my subwoofer, the cable is wired through the fender. Not ideal, but it works for now with an inconspicuous cable housing running from a small dremeled gap near the gas cover release. Made sure to tie it in a way that it shouldn't raddle.

    Cost:
    -Alpena Light Rack: $120
    -Aluminum hardware: $15
    -Inline fuse kit and fuses: $10
    -Duckbill switch: $5
    -Wire: $5


    Hardest part of the job was reinstalling the bumper. It comes off easy. Back on, not so much. Difficult to do without a friend around. I'll upload some daytime pics tomorrow.

    Edit: Here's a picture of the mount. The brackets need a little work with the dremel and a file

    OK, I'm not familiar with the specs vs. the stock headlights.

    Much brighter I'm assuming?

    They are Enthuze headlights. And yes, they are bright. Very bright. I'll post a dash video of those deer I came across a couple nights back if you want to get a sense of how bright they are.

    Can't wait for a foggy night to try out the LED bar properly
