What did you do about elsctrical connections, where did you pick the live main beam pick up from, did you just scotch lock onto the main beam light wire.
Russell....my chap stripped back a section of the insulation on the Main Beam Feed Wire (Blue/Grey) and soldered into that

Looks superb.
Do you have a link for where you got them? Are they just a US product?
Also, how far in are the lights set, do you have measurements for the bracket?Joined the BMWX5 45e group

Dave...I don't have a link but the USA EBay seller was "Lakewoodtruck accessories"
The light measurements are ...Depth 67mm...Height 175mm...Width 163mm
As for the bracket measurements...the welder probably has those somewhere Www.devonchilliman.co.uk

Can i ask why you did the mod?
I ask as i am currently removing my "A Bar" & "clear type" Land Rover spotlights to fit the Land Rover bodykit and can find almost no difference driving at night with the spots either switched on or off (via the switch on dash)
I do have Bi Xenon AFS lamps on my HSE is this maybe why?

I've found these,

I know they are the 1000, not the 500's but its a uk seller and less than 30 mm bigger. Not sure I'd trust the site, seems a bit basic, but has mainly very positive reviews. Reckon it's worth a punt?
Still looking for a US seller, Lakewood truck accessories don't have any for sale at present!

it was the bracket sizes I was interested in, how far apart are the spots, you look like you have it just right.
Cam - Sometimes you put something on just because it looks right, why do people add chrome bits or black badges - because they like the look. Joined the BMWX5 45e group
