Facelift Indicator Fitment

Post by pete_gpx »

Just wondering if anyone would take the time to throw up a picture of how their face lift indicators are mounted to the front bar?

I've had one of Dwayne's bars fitted and have received a set of indicators from him, although I don't have the faintest idea on how to secure them to the front bar. I'm not sure if there is some kind of bracket that I'm missing or if I'm supposed to actually drill into the front bumper to keep them in place.

Any pictures or tips would be appreciated!

Just realised Dwayne had actually posted up a fitment guide on Complete FTO.

I have a pre-facelift rheo holding my bar on at the moment, which doesn't have the mounting points for the facelift indicators, obviously.

Very unsure of how I'm going to fit these up without pulling the bar off, buying some facelift rheos, then refitting it. I really don't want to have to do this, since the paint shop spent a lot of time fitting it and no doubt aligning it to the brackets I supplied them.

Already talked to Pete, so he should be good now. For those of you that havent done it yet, they are pretty easy to fit up. The indicators attach directly to the bar. You need to drill a couple of pilot holes in the bar. Its all in the instructions.

    I rang Mitsubish Parts (Which is actually now Hunter Holden) today for a laugh about the price of the spot lights.

    Left side light (MR344287) list price is $475 (f**king LOL)

    And get this... for the same goddamed products, but the right hand side (MR344286)..$534 list price :lol:

    WTF!

    Oh & for those that are interested, these lights are also used on Facelifted Mitsi RVR's :)

    Im gonna call a couple of wreckers, then visit Ebay me thinks - for a couple of generic spotties that will fit in an 85mm hole.

    Where is that guide btw Dwayne?

    Just an FYI, had a bit of an electrical 'outage' last night :lol:

    These eBay jobbies draw a touch more current than the stockies...
