I'm finishing up my new front bumper and I'm thinking of building in some slots for lighting. I have 2x3x.25 horisontal with 1/8" plate under it going back at a 45* angle. I'm thinking of cutting the plate near the top and mounting either a 4-5" steel pipe or build a rectangular "slot" to house a light on each side of the front plate. I don't know if any of this makes any sense till I get a picture....
My question is two-fold,
1-mounting lights low on the bumper makes them pretty low overall, what is this like for driving? It seems like it will cast a lot of shadows on the road rather than light it up. Maybe I should stick with mounting the lights above the bumper to increase the angle of the light on the road?
2-if low-mounted lights aren't too bad, what's a decent light that is dimensionally small? My bumper is only about 6" tall, so I think 3-4" is the max height I can go on the lights.
Thanks, I'll try to get pics tonight.
