Thumbs up IPF 968 Driving Lights Installed

Here are some pictures of the IPF 968s installed. I got the lights and brackets from Northridge 4x4 along with the daystar lower dash switch bank, and rocker switch.

Here is a full frontal with the gaurds removed:



Next is a close up of the driver side:



One thing that I did not like about the lights is that the lead coming from the light shell is only about 4"-5" long, and not long enough to hide a splice under the rear hood piece. I neatly wrapped mine in scotch 33 rubber tape.

Next is a pic of the passenger side:



The antenna will bounce off of the light, so I made a strap with a washer and black plastic tie wrap.

Here is a shot of the wiring under the hood:



I mounted the relay on the passenger side under the hood on an empty hole with a bolt and nylock nut. Then I ran the switch lead through the yellow foam on the driver side upper corner into the cab, and over to the lower dash. I am currently using the switch that came with the lights, but it is really cheap, and does not swich correctly, every time. I will post more photos when I get the daystar (or other) rocker switch installed, I am still looking into options.

Here are some crappy pics I took in my garage showing first the stock headlight high beams:



The high beams with the IPFs and the 100 watt bulbs:



In the real world on a driving test, the lights are easily twice as bright as the stock high beams. I have no issues with hood glare, or sight restrictions while driving.
