Light mounting

[Finn2003]

Got a set of lazer carbons for my car. Any advice as how to mock them up on the bonnet so i can mark holes work out alignment ect without them just sliding off the bonnet?

[Catnip64]

Masking or double sided tape?

Or blue tak? Should hold things in place long enough and won't mark the paintwork.

[sherman]

Frogtape should work and not mark paintwork.

What sort of car are you planning on fitting lights to the bonnet?

[andy43]

Loads of masking tape, measuring tape and marker, and an assistant to hold them in place on your marks so you can stand back and see how awesome they look (the lights not the assistant).
Then just drill away

Is this one for the badly modified cars thread?

[Finn2003]

Probably it’s a e46 compact and i live in a rural area and am buying a house in the middle of nowhere so extra lighting makes sense. U should see what i have done to a series land rover. Ill upload a photo of it later

E46 compact. Going to fit them on the very front of the bonnet

Would you not be better to mount them to the grille with bracketry behind? Then at least if you want to remove it all you need to do is replace the kidneys?

^^^^ THIS

Much easier/cheaper way to do it, and completely reversible for a small cost.

The kidneys pop out easy enough and if you really want to make up a bracket to hold them securely you can use self tapping screws on the metal in the bonnet where the kidneys sit, again, these will be covered by new kidney grills if you want to reverse.

Although, I'm not quite sure why main beam and front fogs is not bright enough?

A quad of Cibie Oscars is the PH answer,obvs. Maybe some KC Daylighters drilled directly through the roof or a front number plate light and a happy shopper light bar.
Either way, we need photos of the results.
