addison Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I built a light bar for rallying as well as backroad and winter driving. the picture was taken before I wired the lights so thats why theres wires dangling everywhere. What do you think? Criticism is fine but if this type of stuff isnt your thing please dont voice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addison Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 its different!! The beauty of it is that i built a quick release funcion as well as plug and play wires so it can be taken off in less than a minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbc84 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 interesting, pics of the bracket? wiring? and how much it all cost? I wouldnt mind having more lights to blind people in my LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regal05LGT Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 That's pretty sweet, take some pics of it all lit up at night, and +1 to cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addison Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 cost to build the actual bar was about $30... the lights are hella 500 ffs and they run about $65 for a pair at walmart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akscooby Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 That's awesome...particularly the removable option. You will definitely have enough light. I've been toying with the thought of getting a pair of Hella 500's, but I don't like how big they are with the clean lines of the car. +1 to the idea of night pictures. Light it up!!

AKLGT Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 after my rallyx last weekend, i'm tempted to have a bull bar/light bar made for the STI. would be pretty awesome! Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akscooby Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 lol...looks like some of you guys beat your cars up pretty good from the pictures. Wish I could have made it to watch at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKLGT Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 yep. was thinking it'd be REALLY nice to have a light/bull bar on the car! Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STiRA Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 addison I am very interested in your setup. I'm considering a TSD Rally in a couple of weeks and would love more lighting as it'll all be run after dark. Any help with mounting points, wiring, etc. would be really nice!

addison Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 just got everything wired and tested it out... looked great until i blew a fuse so i gotta do some trouble shooting... ill take some pics and keep you updated asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'd love to see some pics of how you set it up for quick release.... I made one that works on my wife's Forester and my Legacy but I have to take the grill out to mount it on the Leggy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-lo Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'd love to see how you made the bar too. I've been considering mounting a set of hellas below the license plate for use on back roads. I know that's not where they are supposed to go, but it won't mess the with lines in the car that much. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggy Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I'm just wondering why you cose a Legacy to be your rally car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addison Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 why not? Colin McRae and subaru were rallying legacys before the impreza was even an idea [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2L4T3C1ngU]YouTube - Subaru Legacy Rally Pictures[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I'm just wondering why you cose a Legacy to be your rally car? You're assuming he looked for a rally car and chose the Legacy. I'm assuming he looked for a good daily driver, and then chose to rally it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
