Has anyone fitted driving lights to an MR/MC?

If so, please post a pic or two.... thx.

I am looking to improve the lateral lighting for very twisty canyon roads at night. I am referring to about 75º off of the center line, which may mean crossing the beams [ wasn't that in a movie once?]

thx

I think you're on your own with this one.
Where are you wanting to mount the lights?

um... at the front

actually there is a small dead spot on either side of the lower grill that might work for the small PIAA lights, HERE:

I measured it and you have almost 2" depth to partially recess the lights. I don't really want to cut my grill though.... might buy a spare one to work on.

any thoughts?

Why do you need to go racing around the canyons at night?? Aren't they easier to navigate during the day?

That's the way home.... I know the corners well by now but we get deer/coyotes/whatever roaming at night. Also it helps me spot the apexes when I can actually see them. So, driving lights.

I saw a black metal lower grill replacement from RaceMesh that might enable me to place the lights behind the grill. Any thoughts?
