G'day everyone , i was thinking of putting some small oval shaped extra driving lights on my car ( mount them in the pods in the front bar/spoiler ), i wouldn't mind a bit more light when driving of a night , especially pointing onto the actual road a bit more .. problem is , im 50/50 on weather i would like the look of them on the AUII XR though , has anyone got any pics of the AUII XR with the small driving lights in the pods ? .. cheers ..

Small driving lights mounted that low wouldnt do a whole lot would they? Thought it would be more for looks down there, much like mine. |

I wouldn't do it to mine, the high beams pretty much turn night into day as it is on the XR's.
Before going ahead I'd recommend getting your headlights adjusted correctly first.

Well i popped down to k-mart, scored it lucky , i got the last box of the small oval Monza H3 55w driving lights, was marked to clear too because the plastic wrapping was missing and a bit of the box damaged lightlly , but open checked it all out and everything is ok and all the parts there , the wiring /fuse/relay etc etc ... got it for $20 ! , i couldn't refuse for that much. I just installed them about 10 mins ago and i must say they look nice
 , im happy with them , now i just gotta connect them - will leave it until tomorrow or the weekend i think .

Sounds like the same ones that redxr8bloke got for his xr8. About the only thing that is out there that will suit the size / cut out of the pods.

lazy ! - yeah you got that right ! ..lmao - but i have fitted them - i just haven't wired them yet , i don't wanna stick a hole in my dash for the extra switch or use the crappy extra switch they supply , i'm just gonna wire them up in conjunction with the standard driving/parker lights so they come on with the normal driving lights switch .

Here's some crappy pics , excuse the quality as my camera is crap , i need a new 1 , give you an idea though , allthough the pics don't do the full justice , the tadd reflection almost makes the 1 light look a little crooked , allthough it isn't ;) .
Oh - you can also sorta see how that turtlewax color cure with the chipstick worked too in these pics..

Thanks mate , nice comments appreciated ;), they have defianatelly grown on me , got to test them out tonight - awesome ! - I dunno where your living and the legalities of them , but they are actually diving lights , not spot lights or fog lights , they are only 55w , states that do usually ban you from hooking them up to the parking lights & headlights still allow to to hook them up but run them off jsut an independant switch ;) - being driving lights , they arent no brighter than normal headlights so it makes me wonder why they would be illegal where you are .

Well i got to test them out lastnight , went into the casino in the city to get blind ( i got the missus to drive ! ;) ) , and oh my i must say they are great , turns night into day , much easier to see potholes etc in the road too of a night , so it looks like they stay - besides the look of them has grown on me , imo i really think they suit the front of the AUII now i have them on there ..lol
