Who's ready to drill their A-Pillar for the vintage lighting experience?

[KT_bronco]

I want to add this kind of search light to the bronco, something I can control from inside. What are the modern equivalents to this? Something with servo motors maybe?

Ahh. No

Have you ever used one? They suck crap, gears strip out and they aren't very bright. The LED versions are a bit better. AND you don't want to compromise the structural integrity of the A pillar.

Looks meh. Bad idea.... and I wire cop cars for a living.

You know you can just mount a light by the side mirrors, right? Sure, you can’t move it inside the vehicle, but it won’t damage the vehicle installing it.

Edit: What about a head lamp? Just strap it to your head and stick it out the window. A genius solution, with no drilling required!

lol, I've never used one. I'm trying to find modern equivalents of a pan/tilt light with motors.

Something like this maybe.

I'll second this. I have the Whelen Arges on a work boat and it's great.

This is awesome.

Aren't there airbags in the A pillar?

Drill baby drill!!!

This is awesome.

Now if that could be secured to the accessory mount by the side mirrors, that’d be pretty cool…

Airbags, and... water in some.

If you want a spotlight, get a Go Light. They use a wireless remote control and can be mounted wherever you want.

Love them on my '79.
