Wow! I think that needs an elegant mid 50’s Mercedes Benz attached to it. Beautiful.

Just came across this old pic of the car with a crooked bumper and a single Lucas sealed beam light.

I remember seeing a picture of a car a while ago (maybe from the UK?) that had a twin headlamp, with aluminium grille (I guess Diana) on the left side and a single headlight on the right. It may even have had a single 7” driving light on th right as well. No good if you dig symmetry but the overall effect was [chef kissing fingers]

I took this photo of mine last night.  Yes, all four lights are still there, they're just... discrete.

eff all this wimpy stuff-

 

go big or go home.

 

You'll have to find an old stagehand to teach you how to set up the carbons, though.

We built these.  60 Million candlepower.

Mine are just Hella 500s, mainly there to cover up the holes left when I excised my diving board. But I like the look, and love the POWAH. Also, 1-1/4" aluminum tubing fits perfectly in the rubber sheathes left behind by the bumper mounts, which made mounting the lights a cinch. Got the inspiration from Nomad's blog.

Sleek, discrete, cool, clean, Tom. Yes, this checks all those boxes.

 

But....it doesn’t check the other boxes, and these are the boxes that matter to me:

 

1. Maximum lighting. I have reached an age when I need to use every last lumen I have purchased. Based on the ratio of grille slats to grille openings, behind-the-grille mounting blocks precisely 33% of those lumens. No can do.

 

2. Maximum show-off time. I have reached an age when I need to show off every name-brand accessory I own. With behind-the-grille mounting, I might as well own a 12-volt Craftsman trouble light. No can do.

 

???

 

Best regards,

I'm not saying your doing it wrong.

Although your fog lights look vulnerable dangling out there.

 

My fogs are no name and the behind the grille lights say firefly.

They're shamefully tucked away behind the grilles and under the bumper shock covers.

 

I think you lose more than 33% being behind the grilles.

 

Or, it may be as much as 67% -- better than nothing.

 

I was mostly playing with ways of mounting them without making modifications, or new holes.

I rarely use them and the fogs are not even wired up yet.

 

Please carry on.  I love all the photos of such beautiful examples.
