Driving Lights in the Bumper
Anyone put driving or fog lights in the openings of an '82 front bumper where the turn lights were supposed to go? I've found a bumper that's in nice shape at the pull-a-part and figured I'd swap it in.
The opening is around 8" x 3" and I can't seem to find a light that's close. I've looked though KC, Hella, PIAA and some other random/el cheapo ones. Worst case scenario, I can put the clear lenses on and run another headlight circuit and mount some aux headlights down low. Just a thought anyway. Anyone have any ideas for a light that fits sorta close? |

Re: Driving Lights in the Bumper
I have no information on trucks other than mine. Other truck pictures were provided by 81-82 truck owners.
Have you looked at LMC? http://www.lmctruck.com/ICATALOG/CC/full.aspx?Page=76 Try www.jcwhitney.com. The catalogue has several lights to fill the opening. |

The plastic snorkels were found at a performance shop. Racers use them to move air to cool brakes. The 3" hose is also brake hose. You can find similiar parts at www.ramairbox.com

Re: Driving Lights in the Bumper
Hey, I've done that. Here are the pics. I'm not 100% happy with it and it's off the truck now. I had to trim the outer bumper brackets enough to place the light assembly in there. I made a "Z" bracket to hold the light, and bolt to the turn signal upper screw holes. The lights were bought off Ebay, they are fog/driving combo. Let me know if you want more pics or info. I'm going to try it again someday. The same lights are mounted on top of a 83-87 front bumper now. David
