Default Fitted an LED light bar to my KK

Got a road trip from Adelaide to Canberra coming up and last year when I did the trip I would have liked a little more light on those dark country stretches so I've fitted a light bar to the front of the KK before leaving this time.

I had some rules, it had to look clean and discreet, no drilling of any steel body panels and had to be removable without trace, in case I decided to remove it. That limited me to under the number plate and a 12" bar fitted there just nicely.

It has the spot and wide beam lenses and throws out an amazing amount of light! The phone picture doesn't really do it justice.


It is centred, promise! The angle of the picture makes it look otherwise.






Small, simple switch, very happy with how this fitted.
Also, for those that remember, 4 years ago I mounted that UHF there with Command strips. Still holding strong on the original strips. The mic holder got knocked off with my knee a couple of times so is held on with 3M moulding tape now.



High beams only, the phone pic makes this look dimmer than it is.



High beam and LED light bar.



Cheers,
Darin.

I think it needs to be aimed up a bit. Too much light too close to the front of the car.

Very nice fit. Was any special breaketing required? Is it a direct switch or relayed through the high beams also?
