Wanted some light directly to the front sides, so I conjured up this idea.

Found these 2 1/2" LED's on Amazon.. Cut a 3" hole for the rubber mounting grommets.. wired them into the Light Bar circuit.

They're a back-up light, so they are a flood pattern. Works Great.

:dunno

Interesting idea. :thumbs

Ditch lights face forward on a slight angle. Some flash in an alternating pattern when the horn is blown. Oh wait, that's for a locomotive.:)

:lmao I thought you might chime in on this one :lmao

These shine slightly forward but light the area between where the headlight pattern hits.. and the front corners. Oh wait, that's for a Ford Pick-up :)

Joe this looks like an awesome idea! Remind me again, what kind of light bar are you running?
