More work

mounts positioned (temp with hot glue), lamps orientated and DRL holes drilled.
I ([may] move the DRL's to the off side and use a high power micro spot lamp on the left, I need to check sizes.

If I can get it worked out the way I would like Jim, I will ask if anybody wants a set of the backing plates and mounts cut at the same time I have mine done.

Can't you put them closer together and more to the outside ofthe car? This will look better I think. Might even create enough space foe a third light...

It is not possible to do that due to the shape of the main lamp "box", the shape at the back (on the angled center-side) prevents a lamp unit being fitted in this area.

As it is the "box" needs a couple of cut outs to allow the clearance/fitting of the top mounting points.

I am looking at Micro FOG lamps for this area and converting the bumper mounted fogs to long range driving lamps but when I was trying the layout (with drawings) it looked a little "Fussy" with three lamps.

I am also looking at constructing....."Double Chevron DrL's"......but that will be for later as I need to "cast" the chevrons in an opaque plastic so they glow bright (like BMW angle-eyes)
