I wouldn't worry too much Steph, I can't even win a doughnut with the Tim Hortons's "Roll up the rim" contest. I've had like a hundred cups and haven't won a thing but now I gotta stay near the toilet all the time and I can't sleep.

You can contact DETOURS via phone and order it that way. :thumbsup:

OK even if this is counter intuitive (the more people the less chances), I think that it is time for everybody to get an entry ticket for this contest.
See it as an easy way, not too expensive to make a small contribution to the forum with the added bonus of maybe winning a cool price from a cool fabrication company;)
lets show our vendors that it is working so that they give up more prizes for the future :) ;)

Well I'm not sure if I mentioned it already...

This is a test contest. The a-pillar lights are a hot item interest wise and I figured I could afford the $47 if only one person entered the contest, you know risk.

I figured if I could break even then I could try bigger more expensive items. Right now I think I have about 10 entries, maybe more, so I'll only have to pay for 1/2 of it.

This tells me that unless I can afford to pay for 1/2 of say a bumper, SYE, etc... I better not do the contest.

If you guys would care to share what is keeping you from entering this contest please do. This will help me in future contests. Hell I'm just feeling my way along here and trying to make things better for the end users, so feedback is always welcome!

So the brackets came in last thursday.. These are the lights im things about getting for them...

Thoughts, opinion, suggestions???

Amazon.com: KC HiLiTES 631 Daylighter - 6 In Black 130w Long Range Off Road Light System (Pair): Automotive@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41NAETJMCAL.@@AMEPARAM@@41NAETJMCAL

Im not necessarily going to buy them from amazon but the K/C 631 are the ones Im looking at. I can get them at 4wheelparts right across the freeay from me for about 130 with tax.

http://www.amazon.com/KC-HiLiTES-631-Daylighter-System/dp/B0007O8S4E/ref=pd_bxgy_auto_text_c

Im not necessarily going to buy them from amazon but the K/C 631 are the ones Im looking at. I can get them at 4wheelparts right across the freeay from me for about 130 with tax.

I would check to see what the light output is between the 100 watt and 130 watt lights. I went with the 100 watt lights because they were $100 and I can put the plastic mesh covers on them AND run the lights on. As I recall the 130 watts are too hot so you have to take the snap plastic covers off. I'm not referring to the full covers like are in the ad, I'm talking about the covers you can buy that protect the light, but still allow the light to shine through.

Also I would suggest flood lights and not long range. off road lights on the sides are generally for lighting up a large area. The long range lights are more focused. I have flood on the outer of my bumper and long range in the middle (center).

prcjeep
04-20-2011, 10:08 AM
I didnt think about the heat factor... But would a flood light have lots of glare on the hood and windshield do to them being mounted on the a-pillar?

I didnt think about the heat factor... But would a flood light have lots of glare on the hood and windshield do to them being mounted on the a-pillar?

It's just my way of thinking. Personally I would do flood, and if it was too much glare on the hood, I'd get some thin sheet metal, cut me a piece that fit under the light, paint it black and block the light from the hood.

You could do a light bar on the bumper, or over head lights for the spots.

DETOURS

Pencil beam or long range lights are the way to roll for that mounting area, flood light should be twisted off to the side abit if used.

Look at the Hella Optilux 1900 there on Amazon. I have the 663's on my bumper and said screw paying that again for lights. I put the hella's on my a-pillar mounts and am very pleased. I did sand em and paint em black since they only come in chrome. They perform as good as the kc. $50 vs $100+.
