Replacement light for ARB bullbar foglights

[fuji]

Has anyone replaced their fog lights on their ARB bar? If so, what did you replace them with?
I am looking at these Monster lights. And I am not after a fog type light, more of a bright light of sorts.

It's on my 'to do' list.

What with?

I've had a few bulbs blow in the fog lights in my ARB Sahara bull bar on the Ranger. As you would be aware, to change the bulb you need to remove the protection plate under the bar. A pain of a job.
I've been looking for a LED replacement but with nothing suitable so far. Even asked ARB Kilsyth but told nothing on the horizon.
A reference I found previously is from the FJ Cruiser Club re the monster light

I would actually like a led spread light there bit like the duallies ?  I am really going to struggle to fit a light bar to the bar with the iPFs and the ridiculous ARB fogs never get used!

[D4D]

What with?

Haven't decided yet. I have the original IPF fogs, so they're 110mm and have a bit metal bracket behind the bar.

This is our setup. The lights are great for short to mid range light although, according to the wifey, they're a wee bit too bright in fog with some "reflection" I think was the term used. I drilled the top bar so as to mount the lights to it for more rigidity & covered the bolt with a rubber cap from Clarke Rubber

two questions:

can these be used to replace a combination lamp on a bt50 mazda genuine bullbar?

have you got more details about the light itself?  is it the ml18?  monster's website says that they are discontinued...

I just received an email from Monster and they are $99 a pair so I might buy a set and try them. Must be available.

Did you see the seller is also getting rid of his 1996 80 Series TD.    For $30K.   In his dreams.

Doesn't ARB do an LED replacement now...??   I Was at my local ARB recently and the subject came up, and if I recall right, they were saying they can be replaced with an LED replacement light now...

Maybe chase that up also...

this is my dream set up

also looking to replace the indicators with a light bar

http://www.narva.com.au/products/detail/9-33-volt-high-powered-led-work-lamp-flood-beam-bar---800-lumens/noheaders/1/?KeepThis=true&

this should give me the best of both worlds, without adding additional lighting on top of the barwork

if it doesn't fit within the original housing, I'm getting some custom fibreglass moulds made to suit the ARB bar and these lights

Hi All
We too were frustrated with the ARB foggies: weak, unsealed + fill with water and dust, used only once in 5 years (not too much fog in WA).
So, we removed those ARB fogs and replaced with 120mm LED spotties from Jaycar. That's an extra 3400+ lumens per side that we didn't have before.

There was some jiggery pokery to get them in. I reckon that hubby and were on the job for 3 hours.
We cut away the black plastic housing of the arb fogs to make way - and made up some simple brackets to hang the new lights off the chassis.
A bit of re-wiring, and its all good.

The new lights work fine. Not blindingly stunning, but certainly a noticeable addition.
Some folk reckon that spots aren't worth while placing at that level (too low compared to the driver's eye level). We reckon that hasn't affected us.
The new LEDs are only 230mm below the line of the car's lights (normal beams and IPF spots / spreads). As the cruiser is 2" lifted, these lights wouldn't be too much lower than other installations.

Anyway, what we wanted to say is: yes, it's possible to swap out the arb fob lamps with spotties.

Did you wire them off your high beam?

[alnjan]

I didn't think you could mount a spot light below your headlights,they had to be fog lights?

[fuji]

Yeah they will be fog lights

Hi
Yep, swapped them off the fog light switch gear, now they come on with the high beam.

Hi
Yeah, it's a good question.
We ran it past our local traffic cop, who happens to be a close neighbour.
He reckons its all good, so long as not more than 4 driving lights in total added, symmetrically installed, more than 600mm apart. Height isn't a factor.
