If any other recommendations would be great

 

Hey those look pretty cool! Kinda pricey though! I used the PIAA 510's behind my Satoshi Grill. I think they are 6" in diameter instead of your 7"s.

 

Yeah I know. But my dad said go buy something that you really want instead of improvising..... Good point.


I think he might help with this

 

Oh okay cool! No I didn't mean don't get them, trust me, I know how expensive parts get to fix up your truck!!! You just got to suck it up and know that its for the Tacoma!!!

 

Oh no I know. I was just saying.

THATS RIGHT!

 

But yeah, let me know if you get them. I would love to see how they look like!!! If they look really good, who knows, I might want a set!!!

 

I will. In return, the light mounts

 

Do you want driving lights or fog lights?
Those say they are driving lights - with a focused beam.

 

Fog lights. They have the fogs I think... I just picked that link for the general idea

 

Those are some swwet lights be sure to check the depth on them. IIRC someone had them behind the grille and ended up replacing them because of the depth.

 

Lentsnh did you do your satoshi yourself? Post some pics!!!!!!!!!!! I live adout 60mi's away from Auburn. I would like to do the satoshi but I dont think I can do it right myself. Any suggestions on someone who could help or install the satoshi around our area?? BTW those lights are killer!!

 

Oh crap! I never got back to you on the mounts huh? Well I still haven't secured them properly. I don't know if I told you but I just jimmy rigged them for now. I mean its been a while but with the divorce going on and stuff, I havent been in the right state of mind and been doing other stuff.

 

I always thought fogs had a wide beam, mount low and aim low - driving lights mount high (close to eye level) and have a focused beam.

So... fogs for lighting road edges, mist, snow fog etc - and driving lights for illuminating far down the road for high-speed driving?

Anyone? Am I wrong on this?

 

There about 87mm I think its what it said... The specs are in the Hella catalog.

Yes I did the Satoshi myself Finished last night. I will post some when its not raining.

I mean I can help you but I have very little experience with a 1st gen Satoshi. So it will be a learning curve for both of us. But yeah That would be awesome.

No Danny You never PM me back......

Its cool bud. Is it a piece of metal or something else?

 

Yeah its just like a metal bracket I bought from Smith's in the hardware section.

 

hmmm. Maybe I need to make a trip to Home Depot or a local hardware store

 

How long did it take you to do it from start to finish??

 

Yeah you will know what they are when you see them. I promise I will take pictures soon. Just PM and remind me.

 

Yes sir! Just whenever you got a chance.. Like you said you have to be busy cause of the divorce and your job

 

About a week. Just because I had to get more stuff than I thought I needed.

I had to start completely from scratch... example: no Dremel, no bondo or fiberglass.... but I did have sandpaper!
