D4 Driving light mounts

[Woody523]

Does anyone have suggestions for mounting a set of driving lights to a D4 that does not have a nudge/Bull bar. I've seen a kit from Lazer Lights specifically for the D4 but the lights are tiny. Any options?

The Lazer lights have a good reputation, but I don't have any personal experience with them.
Have you considered a lightbar instead?

I have a set of lazers (triple R 750 Elite's) fitted to Prospeed brackets. I have no comparisons to draw on with regard to their relative brightness etc but they are fine for me. The Prospeed mounts were easy to fit and provide a solid fixing which can also be used for a light Bar if preferred. The brackets poke out through the grill and hence gives a small drawback that the front part of each bracket has to be removed if the grill ever needs to come off (only 4 small bolts though) Lazer also do a grill kit which sets their lamps into the grill with a little cutting of the grill. There are also other "through grill" brackets available and some forum members have fashioned their own.

I’ve got 9 inch jobbies mounted to a custom bracket made by Auto Spark in Perth. Seems to work fine, lights haven’t moved in three years despite having the bejesus vibrated out of them on corrugations...

Check out this recent thread:
Driving lights - where to place switch in the cabin without drilling / cutting holes (https://www.aulro.com/afvb/l319-discovery-3-and-4-a/279685-driving-lights-where-place-switch-cabin-without-drilling-cutting-holes-4.html)

I have a variation of the setup in that thread with the Prospeed bracket that comes through the grill, which allowed me to get the lights lower.

Hi Greg,
Wondering if you would be able to share more info/pics of your custom brackets?

It's a bit hard to see, but it's a single piece of ali plate, you can see how the lights sit on the protrusions through the grill, and behind the grill, in front of the radiator, the plate connects the two protrusions. Does that make sense? If you call Tim at Auto Spark in Osborne Park he'll walk you through it. It's a very solid piece of work.

Thanks heaps! Don’t suppose you could tell me the clearance measurement between bolt centre and grille? Just wondering if my existing 9” led lights will be able to fit once I get my disco [emoji4]

It's about 45mm from the bolt centre to the bottom of the grill. But the grill slopes slightly backwards from the bottom up, my lights are 120mm deep front to back of the bracket, so they just clear the grill by 5mm or so. As per pic below.

Thanks heaps Greg! Really appreciate your help and time thank you!
Have you found they bounce/vibrate at all?

Very little. They're solid. They've been on the car almost since new, up and down the Gibb, Mitchell Falls track, Munja Track etc etc and haven't moved at all. Yes, they'll vibrate a bit on the corrugations, but any attachments will do that. Nothing puts them out of alignment though, I presume because of the thick ali bracket they sit on.

Sounds like the way to go. Once again really appreciate the help mate.
