Brush guard Lights???

[FishnMan]

cdmintmi asked a decent question, why such hate?? Even as a "noob", I was never responded to the way wpage responded to him. I tell ya what... I guaren..goddam-tee you that wpage wouldnt talk to me face to face like that...he'd be missin some teeth and few hours of conciousness!
It's easy to use the protection of typed page to hide cowardous actions. So how are you earning YOUR respect wpage? You might have received a little status by the number of your posts, but like most idiots, once you opened your pie-hole, you lost it..

It would be fair to say that wpage must have received a lot of ass-whoopins and lost a lot of lunch money going through school.

Next time, try saving your panywaist tribble for those that give a flying ###k! Oh, BTW, I need brush guard lights too...

Well, lets get this started with some pics!!



I have the Warn SDB-160 Dual Beam lights.

I like them so far, haven't gotten to use them very much. What I like about them is that they are both fog and driving lights. It comes with a switch to go from fog to driving. They were easy to install, hardest part I had was running the wires through the firewall. Our H3's come with wires already ran for accessory lights, but because of the dual mode I had to use the Warn wiring harness.

A lot of people have Piaas and from what I have read all like them a lot. You really need to decide what you want (fog/driving, how many lights) and go from there. The other thing you will need to order is the mounting brackets for your brushguard.

I got my brackets here

Another suggestion is to look through the H3 photo forum for off road trips. There are always pics of H3's with different setups, and usually some with brushguard lights.

Hope this helps, I think it is easy to forget that what is shown in the pics is not always a searchable "word" in the posts.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Excellent information! Great pics too!

THANKS H3slate!!!!

Ah man thanks guys, I really like this forum becuase there is tons of info, pics, and people with brains here. We had some pretty bad storms here yesterday so I couldnt check back in and didnt know if I had banished myself or not for telling a guy my feelings there. But I did notice wpage didnt add a link to a previous post that answered my question (i just thought that was interesting myself). But anyways, he can talk trash all he wants on to what this thread is about, why beat a dead horse?
Thanks for the back up and thanks for the pics and post. I just levelled my H3 yesterday (waiting on tires, just cant make myself throw away the still good set thats on there) and feel the brush guard lights and some bigger tires would really set the look off. I build golf courses which requires long hours and lots of fun wheeling but nothing too hardcore(mainly mud recently cleared areas etc.). The only bad part is that the the only time I get to really work on stuff is if rains becuase of the hours. Hopefully someone will post more pics like the one with covers on the stock fogs (I spent about two hours last night trying to find some cheap online). Awsome idea and very creative, kinda makes me feel bad for wanting to steal it, thats the stuff Im talking about.

One more related question. I think the stock fogs work pretty well and Im mainly off wheeling in the woods and on the beach so I think the best bet would be a driving light to get the light farther ou in front of me. I was curious to know how some of you had yours wired up and what do you feel is the best way? On with headlights, on with fog lamps, on with high beams, seperate switch. I kind of like the idea of using the on with fog lamps or high beams so that way I dont even have to put and extra switch on my dash and wouldnt blind anyone while on the highway. What you think?

well thanks again keep it coming

You can get an oem switch that fits in one of the two holes in your center console. In most states it is illegal to drive on the road with off road lights on, so you would probably want a separate switch.



Part # 88963884 H3 Off-Road Lamps Switch

You can get this from http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/
for about 25 bucks.

IMO, go with a seperate switch and also go with an extreme white light. try out the PIAA 520's in their DRIVE style.

thinking about the new 520 ATP with the Xtra Xtreme White. get two for now and then if a roof rack appears later maybe a few more up top?

How hard is it to install the new button under the climate control knobs??

The button is very easy, you remove the center console by pulling up by the cig lighters and the blank pops right off and the button pops back on in its place.
