Default Pics of extra driving lights on their Scoob

Has anyone fitted extra driving lights on their Scoob?

My trip to/from work is always at least one way in the dark and its down some pretty nasty stages (oops I mean roads ).

So I want to put some additional driving lights on mine for the winter but... don't want to bin the fogs, or fit proper dual HIDs and don't want to go to the expense of £300 Morrettes or UK300 style lights (mine is a bugeye).

I'm going to make up some brackets, so in the summer they can be removed without leaving any holes.

So if anyones go any pics please post

Ta Rich.

I would highly recommend driving lights in place of fogs. Why, because we never get the chance to use our fogs and it is hardly ever foggy. I fitted the PIAA driving lights. Subaru/prodrive have their own driving lights which I think are very similar to Hella 1000FF HID lights. But you may need to sell a kidney to buy them

Tiny01 on here had a 4 lamp pod on his bugeye bonnet.

I fitted a pair of Cibie Oscar + driving lights to my classic. Fantastic improvement in light. The lamps cost £40 new off e-bay then I made a couple of stainless brackets myself.

Cut the original mounts off the lamps and bolt the T shaped bracket across the back of the flat backed Oscar + lamp.

Use two relays in conjunction, off your front fog light switch and main beam switching a fused supply directly from your battery and voila.

Fantastic improvement and switchable so you don't have to have them on with your main beam.

Beware if you fit a rally style bonnet pod that you dont block off the air flow to the intercooler.

Some good comments thanks, I really do want to keep the fogs as it can get pretty nasty 'round my neck of the woods and the roads I travel on are sub 'b' roads with no white lines, so I need the low/wide spread without the full beam reflection.


Any more pics anyone??
