Got myself some lights... 23" for the front and 2 9" in the xrox bar wings followed by another 2 9" for the rear which I'll fit to the sports bar.. Here are the lights I chose

Hey mate,

Apollo all installed, I tried using the cold air induction tubing that came with it, but ****ed it up trying to bend it so it would reach front above intercooler piping to the plazman pipe..

I think I'm going to connect it to the wall of engine bay like you did yours, and then look at a snorkel down the track...

Do you know what adaptor you used to connect to inside wall of engine bay? I checked super heaps everywhere and they only have small pod filter adapters... Any idea where you got your and maybe the part number if poss??

Also do you think it will be ok sucking air from wheel arch for time being until I can afford to install snorkel??? Or would I be better trying to feed the cold air tubing to front again??

Thanks man

it's a 3" adaptor that I used, no idea on part numbers. I think you will be fine running it as is as long as you do t do any water crossings.. Either run it to the front or just leave it there as it, just make sure you support it so it won't bounce around..

Where did u get the adapter from mate?

Where did u get the adapter from mate?

supercheap or autobahn bud there always in stock

 

[jason_lyle_d40]

Thanks man did the size of the adapter cover the whole entire whole in side of engine bay, or did you have to mod?

 

[jason_lyle_d40]

Sorry for so many questions man, but if I just secure it to engine bay without the adaptor and don't connect the cold air pipe for a bit, will it be bad for engine as no pipe to direct cooler air in?

 

[4BYFOR]

Not really mate you should be fine until you get a snorkel

 

[jason_lyle_d40]

Thanks man... Just another quick question. The adapter you bought, did it screw straight to the body or did you have to make something special to make it fit?

Here you have it guys front end all lighten up! Finished fitting the 23" 144w bar, 2x 9" 54w each cree led bars along with the 2 led spot lights.

Looks awesome mate! Did you wire up the led lights on separate switches, also how did you mount the ones in the wings? Just put xrox bar on and looking at doing lights next, im liking that set up.

they are all on 1 switch as I don't need to split them up.. I bolted them from the top down if you look closer in the pics I used the top plate and drilled through that. Didn't use the bottom one as it's more for a spot type of light and different bracket.. Now I can see the sides too which is perfect with the 9" light bars which are flood lights.. Thanks bud put a lot of money into it now!
