I recently bought an HST grill and a genuine pair of RRS driving lights. The grill went in perfectly and looks good I think. But I held up the driving lights on the bumper, thought they looked ugly, and could not commit to cutting the holes for them.

That's actually a good solution for lights with the HST grill. |

That looks good, I was thinking about doing something similar, but I have the original grill and planning to keep it, so have to look for a slightly different set up. '08 RRS TDV8

They have! I spotted a black S/C heading East on the M27 last year, going like the proverbial with alternating blue lights behind the grill. I had just dropped my daughter off at her university hall on Southsea seafront - she had seen it heading South past her, heading for the seafront itself.....my only thought is that the hovercraft terminal for the Isle of White is there so if 4 "Hereford guys" needed to get over to the IoW in a response (practice or otherwise) to the prison there, that is the fastest way....  Cheers

There was a paramedic who was on this site in the early days - he had the blue lights behind his grill. I think he only kept the RRS for a short time because of MPG on the SC! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Believe it or not I purchased them from Wall Mart for $60! They give a very bright white light. I got them just to try out the idea, intending to replace them with bigger ones if they worked. I really wanted spotlights but these spread horizontally only and give good additional illumination when aimed to hit the road about 50 ft away. I will keep them as they are since I am happy with how they work. . .l . . Come for a visit, Victoria is beautiful! |

My experience with police lights: I am driving at night along a straight road and this idot coming towards me seems to have his high beams on. So just to let him know I flash my high beams at him. Twice or maybe three times, but he takes no notice. The car passes me and does a u-turn, and on come the red and blue roof lights! He checks my licence and insurance then tears a strip off me, quoting how illegal it is to use my high beams that way. I got pi***d off and told him that if they were his low beams, his car was unfit for the road, and that I would follow it up at the main police station. We parted less than amicably but without his issuing me a ticket. It may well be illegal here in Canada to have lights behind the grill, so you can be sure I won't be flashing anyone in simialr circumstances. . . Come for a visit, Victoria is beautiful! |
