I was pondering what was similar to all the vehicle I think are cool in movies and it hit me! They all have a light bar, so I got to thinking.....Yaris+Lightbar!

Whatcha guys think it would look like on my yaris with a lightbar with 4-5 offroad lights mounted to it as an addition to the C-One replica front bumper Garm just sent me and projector headlights???

If anybody is bored and would like to photoshop it real quick that would be cool!

I think something like this would look good, if the lights were ~4".

Or you can mount it like a grill gaurd on trucks, have it attached to the frame then running through the bumper. :iono:

I've been wanted to do this for my car also the best idea i came up with is the trd grill and mold to lights in the corner sort of like the nissan pulsar. At least this way its save from from being damage if someone backs into your car. That the only fault i see with the mini version, and the snow/ice will damage the lens or bar if you have to go through your snow bank driveway thanks to the snowplow.

The mini's light bar is actually mounted to the bumper support with the bracket feeding through the lower grille on either end of the bar

What about a low profile roof lightbar? Seeing as you guys are right the bottom of the Yaris bumper is not very sturdy (I know from experience) I hadnt really considered the flimsyness of the bumper!

Have you considered fabricating a mount that will attach to the front license plate holes? That might work assuming that you're not required to have a front license plate where you are.

those holes are only in plastic we have to have a front license plate in texas and i was pissed when they had to put it on. Now if you can get a bracket to go through the lower grille and attach it to the metal bumper behind it that would be better

I love the Mini's lights. Let's get a photoshop of that configuration on a Vitz.

I don't think that application would be too difficult on the Vitz.

i dont understand why anyone would want this.. i personally think it looks really bad. why not just put hids in your headlights and fog lights?

i personally think it looks really bad.

Luckily, not everyone like the same things. It's what makes the world fun. :biggrin:
I personally find underbumper "fog lights" to be a useless PITA, since any ilttle bump means they don't shine very far. I would much rather have the extra light at the same height as the heads.
You say "tomayto", and I say "tomahto". :thumbsup:

I have a sketch I just did but I cant the scanner to work. I should have it soon though>.< My general idea is 4 round lights on the bumper itself right below the grille and then 4-5 Baja style lights on a low profile bar im fabricating that would fit on the roof. I will probably have to invest in a beefier alternator and an optima battery^-^

i picked up a set of truck driving lights from NAPA, trucklite brand, but small profile rectangular (3x5 i believe). drilled holes vertically in lower grille, mounted lights hanging down. i left everything loose so i could manually adjust, and once tightened everything's holding up well enough. over bumps you can see it flex a bit when the lights jump, but they're light enough i don't expect any damage or trouble.

larger lights could be supported via the "bumper" or bumper mounts behind the plastic bumper cover....

ill post pics once i get around to taking them, i also installed an air horn at the same time that pulls around 10 amps and fits behind the grille...

C-ONE makes a rally light bar for other models of the yaris that you may want to look at.
