Head lights in the bumper?

Lonesome7.3 · 12-09-2008, 12:07 AM

I am seriously kicking around this idea. But, I want to do it to my 95 OBS. I was thinking about using a Superduty bumper because it looks as though it has the room for this mod where mine does not. If I knew how to photo shot stuff I would try it out and see what it looks like. Anyhoo, how is this done? It is becoming common enough that I am sure a good technique has been established. Any ideas?

is this truck going to have a lift? why the lights in the bumper?

Lonesome7.3 · 12-09-2008, 08:29 AM

It is lifted but that is not the only reason for the move. I have, um, plans, for the space my lights are currently in.

recessed 40 cals in head light holes? j/k bud

i'll look into it for you, i'm sure someone has made a "kit" for it.

That is an idea, but not quite what I had in mind.

Some one else brought up a good idea earlier today. Why not use headlights from another vehicle and retain my stock bumper? I like that look much more anyway.

those old holes is where those 500 watt halogen lamps go. let me know what the oncoming car does when you flash them the first time.

there was aactually a truck in town about two years ago lonesome that the kid had his lights in his bumper.

I see in the magezines that a lot of superduty guys are doing this. I am sure I can figure it out when I get home. But it would be nice if I could pick up some pointers first. I am guessing there is nothing more to it than cutting clean wholes and welding in brackets.

found this so far.........

Lonesome7.3 · 12-10-2008, 12:35 AM

That is what I am refering to. The only difference is I plan to use the area the lights are being removed from.
