Upside down spotlights

For $99 I can't imagine they would care. Remember you get what u pay for so if you stuff them upside down yr not out of pocket by much.

Check for any ventilation or drain holes in them that would mean they must be mounted a certain way "up".

Here is what I did useing a old spot light bar I had from the previous car and useing some L brackets and now they fit before like your too high

haven't checked for drainage holes yet, and they won't fit between grill and roo bar as there is no room, I have a 2006 rodeo with factory fitted roo bar, its very close fit to grill, they are going to have to be in front of roo bar and hanging upside down from top tube unless I can get custom made flat steel extension to fit existing drilled holes

firstly most spot lights will quite happily mount upside down.....

most of the led lights just mout upside down no worries.

many of the conventional spot lights need to be assembled for upside down mounting.

The old Cibbie oscars, you made sure the locking screw and thus the drain holes on the rim/ carrier where at the bottom.....there where mounting provided in the back case for assembly either way up.

NOW something else to consider....the current ADRs and vegicle modification rules do not allow for spot light to be mounted "out Front" beyond the outline of the vehicle.

they either have to be mounted in a bullbar or on some sort of carrier that extends the frontal outline.

fitting pieces of flat that project forward alone would be considered non compliant protrubances.

$99 bucks is no such a loss...look for some lights that fit.

cheers

This may be a bit drastic but then again it may suit you. You mentioned in a post that there wasn't a lot of room between the grill and bullbar. What about doing what I did a few years ago to the Kingswood. I actually cut holes in the grill and reset the driving lights back into the grill. Actually inside the grill. It is not obvious in the photo but that's the best I can do.

Not for everyone though.

thanks for all your replys and helpful suggestions, I can't fit spotties into grill ,I have air con pipes directly behind, and I didn't think of legalitys with having them out in front, so I am going to have to sell them and get 7 inch spotties
cheers
