PIAA 580s on a Gobi Stealth
 

Thanks to Gobi and Trail Duty once again.

I got a Gobi stealth to be able to get into my garage. Also, I really have an aversion to the little rectangular lights that Gobi has designed for the front of the Stealth, so I decided to figure something else out so I could get much more light output up there. Me being so worried about what my truck looks like, I decided to get some more PIAAs (I have 4 520SMRs on the front). Since I don't like the output of the 520s, for something like the rack, the 580s were the only choice.

They obviously can't mount where the little rectangular lights would mount, so I had decided once everything came in and I saw what I had, I would fab me up some brackets to move the lights just forward of the rack and also down just off the roofline.

Little did I know that the brackets that hold the wind deflector work really well for this plus I wasn't going to be able to use the deflector since I woud have the lights there. I've got some tweaking to do to the brackets to get them just right and need to align the lights some but it works out pretty good. The top of the lights might be an inch or so above the top of the rack. The should provide very little, if any glare off the hood since they are mounted so low and the 580s rock.

Yes they do! Do they whistle up there, though?

Looks good. Are you going to remove your delta backup lights and wire something on the back of the GOBI?

Re: PIAA 580s on a Gobi Stealth
 

NO!!!!! and yes!

I'm keeping the deltas wired to the backup circuit and have some PIAA 1500 flood backups coming to go on the rack. I chose the flood over fogs and drivers because I'll probably use those upper rear lights more than another other aux. lighting.

I have no idea if the 580s whistle, the truck hasn't gone over 40mph since I put them on.

I doubt they do. The air will roll off the windshield and I'm betting they are low enough to be in that disturbed air.

But I will report

You know, when I heard you were putting full size lights on a stealth I thought it might look funny but the way you did it looks awesome.

Re: PIAA 580s on a Gobi Stealth
 

Wow! That looks great :)

They look right because they're centered vertically on the rack rather than perched above the rack like mickey mouse ears.
