If you have a front mount, why not toss a single row led bar in the scoop. You can easily cram a 10" or a few of the Rigid Ind. square dually's or visionx Solstice's.

I wonder how the hood would hold up to the added weight of those lights. |

If you still have it you can modify the splitter. While they do add weight, use a 10" bar for example, it won't make it much heavier. You really only have to be gentle when closing the hood...so slamming

Only problem I may run into is I no longer have those mounts. I removed them when I installed the FMIC. Does not mean I can't have something fabbed up though.
How hot do those LED bars get? Edit: Maybe go with the 10" LED bar in the scoop and then a 26" bar in the FMIC opening at the top portion of the opening. |

they can get pretty hot if left on for a prolonged periods. So long as there you are moving when used and there is adequate airflow over the heatsinks you should be ok.

Cool, thanks. I just wanted to make sure it would not melt anything.
On another note, what the largest size light you can fit in the standard 02 WRX driving light location? |

LED's die a quick death when overheated, and I don't know how the heat from the engine bay will affect them.

...you shouldn't need them for too long while sitting still with them on. Even if you do, they do take a bit of time to get the hot hot. And well.....one might assume if ya shell out this much coin for a lamp....you might know to not let them get hot. |

A note on the hood scoop mounting location ...
Check your local state laws on auxiliary lighting. Two things to look at:

^^ The idiots around here aren't stopped by the law when they put HID's in their halogen headlights, fog lights, and wherever else they can cram them into.

It's easy to tell. If you're blinded by the light, it's likely illegal. There are only a handful of cars that ever came with HID's in reflector housings from the factory. ALL other ones use projectors.

Seriously though, I don't get why people complain about HIDs so much, sure, some are very annoying, but you can't tell me that factory HIDs aren't blinding. Sure once they're up close the glare is reduced, but I have seen some cars (mainly Cadillac) from a distance that seemed to glare like crazy and were insanely blue, until they got up close.... What I'm saying is that yes, HIDs can be blinding, but in the majority of projectors that aren't any worse than stock HIDs. /flameshield |

Dude, projectors are DESIGNED for HID's. Halogen reflectors are designed for, you guessed it, halogen lamps. An HID in a halogen projector = light EVERYWHERE.

Anyone have issues with lamps mounted with the Kartboy brackets being pointed too low? The back of the lamp is touching the bracket and I cant aim it any higher, and it is way too low.
