For those of you who run rock lights, how helpful do you find them (especially if you're East Coast), and where do you generally place them?

Thanks,

Michael

You're running an 85 Runner, yes?

Paging Angelo to this thread. He will deliver.

I run them and am on the east coast. Sure, they help on rocks n stuff to see what you're hung up on. They DEFINENTLY help when you gotta crawl under the truck at night and look at what broke - don't need to hold a flashlight in ur mouth.




Also have reverse lights under the bed aimed behind the rear tires which help a bunch:

Ever heard of POR15? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Heh. Ever hear of salt? In all honesty, there isn't a whole lotta rust under there - the camera flash makes mud look exactly like surface rust, and then I have some rust colored primer in a buncha areas that I never went back and painted flat black on. I know it looks rusty in the nightime pics, but well, its not <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />

not on the east coast but i use them. my front lights are located under my ARB bumper aimed down to the ground in front of the front tires. the rears are mounted between the rockslider and the front stock bedmount on the frame. passenger side has em too f/r. i love em! with the wooded trails we have here in Washington. they make weaving through tight, tree-lined turns alot easier to see where you're putting the tires. especially when you're in the mud at the same time.

Hhaha ugliest, exhaust, ever, LOL... nice lights tho :P

First off, I think everyone should have a set of rock lights. Alot of added insurance for a cheap price. The Rock lights I got are hellas. I think they are some kind of tractor lights with a rubber housing, so they will give a lil on rough trails and very tough I might add. The best part is that they ground themselves through the screw which is awesome! They were like less then $10 a piece. Cant beat that! I mount them in the middle of my vehicle. 2 on the drivers, 2 on the passenager. They are mounted back to back on each side of the frame mount, so they all point to each of the tires. Plenty of light and very durable. If you dont even go night wheel, it will always come in handy if you ever work on your truck at night. And always rememeber, keep them tucked in enough so they dont get hit by rocks. And it would be nice to keep them out of the line of fire from your tires spitting mud out at them, but not the most important. Here are a few photos, note: some of the pics the flash from the cam made them look brighter, but you still get an idea of what they were showing on the ground.

You can tuck some LED's under there; from our Toyota tech archive
