Hellas/KC behind Satoshi Grill

Satoshi guys, were you able to fit Hella/KC Lights/etc. behind a normal Satoshi build or did you have to do a thin lip?

I'm in the process of building a Satoshi but need to know this before I go any further.

I've searched through threads but cannot find a straight answer.

 

I also would like to know the answer. did lots of search but couldnt find a clear answer.

Not trying to thread jack, but will hella 700s fit also?

 

Not a thread jack at all, that's a totally valid question

 

What size lights are you going to be running?

 

I'm not sure yet. I haven't actually looked that far

 

This is a StealthTaco grill with Hella 500's behind it. Added amber LaminX today.

 

I suggest making the grill insert as flush with the outer grill as possible to allow for deeper lights and light bracket.

I had a deep Satoshi and couldn't fit anything bigger than a 3 inch deep light without issues.

I had it redone but moved all lights and ditched the light bracket but I still have room in case I decide to run another light in there.

Before with deep Satoshi. those are Blitzpro shallow ambers




After with shallow Satoshi. I run just Hella dual tone horns back there for now.

 

How much did you cut in for the shallow satoshi? 500s are 2.6in deep so I think itll fit with just the regular satoshi. but a 7in light seems like it will fill in the grill nicer.

 

Is that a bamf light bracket or just a piece of angle bar?

 

had a friend locally do it so I'm not sure the exact numbers.

Hit him up as he does these Satoshi grills all the time

 

Great! thanks.

 

For those that have done this, how are you mounting your lights? BAMF? or custom bracket made you made yourself? I saw that some people were making them with angle bar on the 2nd gens. looking for ideas on how to do it with the 1st gen.
