I am in the process of installing some hella 500 driving lights on my OEM Brush guard and have found that I need spacers so the lights will point down onto the road. I was thinking of fabing some from pvc pipe because I only need about an inch and a half more clearance and I think the white posts will accent my white truck... Anywho, do they make spacers? What do other people do short of stacking washers to get the clearance needed for downward tilt? I bought the lights from atlantic british thinking that they would be bolt on, wire and go. Any help would be appreciated and BTW I have the wrap-around brush guard (don't have the part number)

 

can't you just angle them on their mounts? i just put a pair of 500FF's on my factory brush guard...

 

Thats what I thought but the mounts are too recessed. I uploaded a drawing that may help explain my dilema.

I have Hella lights on a factory brush guard. I will go out in a little while and see how they are mounted. They were there when I bought it & I never payed too much attention. I will take some pics of what I have.

 

I looked at mine earlier and maybe I have differnt mouting brtackets for my Hellas. Mine loook like they didn't need any kind of mods in order for them to be aimed down. There are some sort of bumper/ spacers to protect the bottom of the bulbs froom hitting the tube steel though. Do you have those? I'm guessing that you could use some threaded rod & a couple nuts to raise the lights up to where you need them.

Here is what mine look like if that is helpful:

That does look like mine however mine seem more recessed. I guess I am going with the pvc spacers because I think the white will accentuate my trucks color. Thanks for your time and if you need anything give me a shout at salve7@yahoo.com
