hi ive got a ln106 hilux and ive just modifyed my bullbar putting driving lights where the indicators were and im not sure where to replace them.
the car already has 2 on each side at the rear, front guard and front corner btw the guard and grill.
but if i disconnect the front bumper ones the indicators go really fast becasusei assume there is less load. can i put a resestor in this connection or something to temporary fix this problem?

Yep, indicators are flashing faster due to less load in the circuit, this can be overcome by replacing the existing flash can with a non load sensitive one (i think they call them thermal flashers) available from bursons/repco etc.

Just replace them with LED's or normal incandescent style ones somewhere on the bullbar, flush mount LED's should be able to purchase for $15 - $20 a side from a truck spares like Truck Bits/Coburg Truck Parts etc. They are required on the bullbar becasue the uprights on the extremities of the bar can block the ones near your headlights at certain angles.


Post pics of your driving light install.. thinking about doing the same thing with fog lights :cool:
