Hi guys

I am less than happy with the high beam on my new i30 and as I do a lot of driving for my kayak fishing and camping adventures (did 1300km in first week of owning it) I am wanting to put some spotties on it. The problem I have is that the bumper where the number plate screws to is not very strong and is backed by a heap of foam padding. I worked out I needed about 160mm long bolts to reach back to the steel support bar behind the bumper bar and is going to be a pain to do. Just wondering what other people have done? I have searched and saw some people have installed them on the previous model but was wondering if they have the same setup as the new model. If so wouldn't the weight of the bar make the spotties bounce up and down with every bump in the road?

I don't want to go to the trouble of the HID conversion and I would have loved to mount a lightbar under my roofracks but there just isn't enough room.

Welcome WayneD,

This photo belongs to member Ugly Mongrel, PM him, I'm sure he'll help if possible. I know it's not the current model, but there shouldn't be too many differences.

Thanks Phil

I have sent him a PM.

Sorry I just realised I probably didn't need to post this in the diesel section, non specific would have been better...

Thanks but I work for an auto electrical mob that imports all alternators, starters, lights and some auto accessories so I've got all the bits I need covered  :D
