916 Spoiler, Mounting Driving Lights Options

[jgara962]

PO mounted these rectangular lights which I'm not to crazy about. I would like to get a set of Pilot lights from CAMP, and cut out the holes to mount them behind the spoiler. I've looked behind it, but can't figure out how I would mount them. The spoiler is blended into the flares, so it's not coming off, making this more of a challenge. Anyone have ideas or pictures of what they have done?

Thanks

I just put a pair of Camp's excellent Pilot lights on my 914 with a 916 bumper.

On your car, did the owner cut out the bumper to mount those square lights?

If so, then you'd have a heck of a time "recreating" the proper openings.

Anyways, even if not, you would have a HECK of a time getting the Pilots mounted correctly without getting the bumper off.

It would be absolutely impossible to simply hole saw 4.5 inch opening holes and mount the lights using the factory style mounting brackets with the bumper in place. No access.

One possible way would be to holesaw an opening large enough so the light can slide in from the outside. Not sure what size that would have to be, but it would be a bit bigger than the 4.5 inch hole saw that I used, and a bit bigger than I would prefer for looks. 5.0 might do it, though.

Then, you'd have limited access right behind the opening. You'd have to fabricate some kind of trick "clip in" bracket, where the light could be pushed into it and "clipped in" from the outside. Bolt that custom bracket in place, and clip the light in.
