Auxiliary driving light

 I have upgraded my OEM headlights to LED bulbs and polished the lenses. Its a big improvement but still not great as far as distance. Not interested in spending $7k+ for the full headlight upgrade from Xtreme. I'm thinking of buying two of these flush mount Baja Designs lights ($140 ea). They mount with a 2 inch hole and are very bright. Only 2.1 inch by 2.1 inch. I'll mount them somewhere higher and then wire them up with the two aux lights on the bottom so they will be switched. They come in white and black and three different beam widths, spot, wide cornering and work scene. They are very high quality and water proof to 9ft depth. The white should blend in well with my coach. Now where exactly to put them?....

I put in LED bulbs in my coach but I was blinding the oncoming drivers. If you are  putting
in new lights make sure they DOT approved. Another option is what David Osborne and I did
was to put semi headlights in. We fixed the area where the old headlights were differently. He
did a beautiful job with stainless and I filled mine with fiberglass. If you type in
LED Headlight Upgrade 1995 U320 you can see his extensive writeup and I have pictures of
mine in there to.

Non DOT lights are illegal and oncoming traffic May shoot at you
Stock headlight height is difficult to make work well.
Bronco headlight projection conversion
Under a coach buck and at original position.  Low beams are DOT compliant and hi beams are like looking into the sun and not compliant.
Lot of work but for me they work well.

I like your conversion Oldguy. Looks really good. What conversion plugs/resistors did you use?

Just cut the hole and I think there was a templet with it and plugged it in.
