Auxiliary LEDs - Lightbars, Lights, Pods

[LeftCoastOverland]

From what I last heard earlier this year, they got rid of all of their US staff and are relying on the warehouse personnel from one of their other brands to handle shipping for orders; so I'm not sure what response you'll get...

This was from a very good friend who used to sell their lights along with his own products and make some private label brackets for them

I’m planning to buy them in country when I get to oz. Hopefully it’ll get some traction.

My Gren just arrived at the dealer and is only waiting on the full roof rack. Once I have it home I can take measurements and look closely at the front light bar options. I’m hopeful I can position the bar I’m considering, so that the roof limits projection onto the hood/bonnet.

Just got an email back from LIGHTFORCE sales, no plans to make a patch kit unfortunately. Back to square 1

Purchased a KC HiLites Flex Era 50 inch Light Bar for my full length Rhino Rack when it comes in. After getting it, I started looking and dang, each 10 inch segment uses 10amps. So it needs at least a 50amp plug where Ineos only provided me a 25amp plug.

So as I started looking at Baja Designs, ran into a similar problem with amps over 25 unless I want a bar less than 20 inches.

I have been experiencing the same issue. Either the LEDs are throttled via EU regulations or they are to power consuming.

These are the ones I’m considering;

Linear-42 Elite

Representing the very best in slimline auxiliary high beam driving lights, the Linear range utilises a combination of highly efficient 3W LEDs and vacuum-metallised wide optics to deliver a perfectly tuned beam pattern for everyday road use. Measuring just 40mm in height, the Linear range is an...

The left and right sides of the front bumper where there are honeycomb screens are just begging to have lights mounted.

I' think im going to install amber fog lights there

Will the reduced airflow through those openings affect engine cooling?

I would say yes and no. Most vehicles have added coolers in front of the wheels. But most font need them. Plus bmw offers a aux cooler delete for its engines. Many ppl delete their aux coolers in the l663 to fit larger tires on it. I would say that unless your in the desert, these small vents won't make that big of difference.

 

[Jean Mercier]

I am sure it is, but I spent a long time looking and my mechanic looked as well.

One of them is indeed very difficult to find:

If not for the pictures provided here, I probably would never have found those connections.

That was my exact plan as well.... most likely a set of Diode Dynamics SSC1 SAE Fogs in the side pockets... small enough to not restrict a lot of airflow, but still give a good bump in lighting

I'll be following your lead. Called my dealership yesterday to see if they had a vin and was told ETA in Feb. Total suprise to me as I was originally given a build date of March 1st with delievery date of early summer.

I think these are intercoolers for the turbo boost.
Removing them will hurt performance.

No one is thinking about removing them. I am referencing the fact that there are delete kits for Aux coolers. One is for engine oil and other is is the transmission.

That is sandwiched in the intake assembly.

No, not intercoolers. One is a secondary cooling circuit for engine I believe and one is a transfer case cooler. I would be reluctant to remove at least the transfer case one as it was added during the testing phase because they has some issues with transfer case temps if I recall the story correctly.

Front grill-mounted lightbar DIY'ers: How did you route the cable to the under-bonnet power source without having to remove anything first? Thank you!

Here's a very inelegant way of mounting a 10" lightbar to the bumper.


Zero drilling.
Ineos, please add DTP 2-pin connectors to the electrical wiring under the bonnet or at least make them longer. They were a pain to lengthen.

That’s quite nice. I’m thinking of doing something similar.

What kind of led bar do you have there?
