Off-road light mounting on a Denali

[DenaliAK]

So, I want to put some more light out front for night driving so I don't plow into a moose and kill my car and/or me and my family. Anyone know if I can mount some Hellas (or whatever) directly to the bumper or am I going to need some sort of custom light-bar/mount?

Get a light bar that connects to the luggage rack. Put 4 Spot beam kc dayligters on there, then a bumper guard with 2 more kc daylighers on there only Fog beam. Chill...

Yeah, that'd probably do it. I don't have the money to get quite that many at the moment...lol.

I'm trying to avoid the whole brush-guard thing if I can and I don't want them up top because I use the rack for other things.

you can swap out your fogs for a pair of piaa 510's, much brigher, or just throw an HID kit in there.

Yeah, I'm putting some HID's in those. Trying to find some 55w ones for a good price and that are in stock.

depending on how deep the lights are, you could try mounting them behind the grille... they would shine through, and not be as obtrusive in the front of ur truck... ive seen a few guys on here mount after market fogs behind their grills... illl look for it...
something like this

So you noticed the stock fogs are a joke as well.. Maybe just me but I can't even tell if they are on or off when I'm driving, seriously. I have to be parked in front of a building and hit the switch and look for the shadows. lol but if it were me and I was putting aftermarket fogs on I'd get a new wiring harness so you can drive with the highbeams and fogs on at the same time. I was driving my dad's truck and would have hit a cow if I didn't have all the lights running at the same time. Yes a cow- I was on a highway too.

Here's a real easy mod that will keep the fogs on with the high beams.
