A few months ago, I took advantage of the good deal on Hella Optilux lights posted on yotatech for $14.99.
Over spring break, I finally got around to doing something with them.
Made a simple plate that bolts to the bumper, and then bolted the lights to the plate.

After all my hard work, I found that these lights are not very bright, even with 55w bulbs. I think I have them mounted too low for driving lights, and maybe too close together, but I guess they do help some when used along with my low beams.
