Off road lights on OEM bumper?

[Mark W]

Interesting. So you make the (amber) corner parking indicators into the turn signal lamps by rewiring (and thus giving up the parking indicator lamps),

With a little bit of driveway modding, you can switch out the socket to run a dual filament bulb. Then you have the existing low intensity parking light and also have a high intensity turn signal in the same unit. Not an uncommon "mod".

I've had a set of Diode Dynamics Fog Lights mounted on my bumper for about 3 years now (temporary mounting/test which is apparently permanent now) using the top mounting bolts for the bumper, just outside the front grill area. Single bolt mount has worked great and I can return to OEM in a few seconds with no modification.

These? https://www.amazon.com/Diode-Dynami...75943458364569439-B084BXTDKH-&hvexpln=73&th=1

Are you willing to take a pic of the front, and of the top mounting bolts for the bumper where the lights are attached? I'm not seeing this.

Did you ever get it mounted up?

I ended up building a coastal offroad bumper, I think I gave it to someone who bought my springs a while back. It's living a good life somewhere!

Did this myself. No relays needed, just appropriate the signal wire from the signals. I think I used sockets from a Subaru (first matching dual element set I found at Pick&Pull that would fit). I tried led bulbs, but not all vehicles run the same polarity on dual element bulbs and what I bought didn't cooperate (it was either park lamps or turn signals), so I went back to incandescent. Very simple mod and actually a better place for turn signals in my opinion.

I have mounted on my stock front bumper a set of Stedi offroad lights from down under. They are not very deep in dimension and were an easy install, sorry no pic. I've got ARB front bumpers on my other three rigs but am doing my best to keep the pounds off the 80 and I like the stock look on her.

I want off-road lights. Maybe it's possible to avoid buying an aftermarket bumper to mount off-road lights? Root lights are a poor choice because getting the wiring down to the engine bay is sketchy. Has anyone installed off-road lights on the OEM bumper?

P.O. had put halogen fog lights in the front bumper...
