offroad light mounting

[brextonbum]

just purchased some lights from princess auto. Gonna mount em this week after

i modify my basket .I plan on welding in a light bar to mount them too. hopefully

I can design somrthing that looks sleek and simple and not hacked @ wacked.

In your guys experience do I need to isolate the lights with rubber to limit vibration.

I've looked at others and noticed that lots of trucks dont have them isolated .

What kind of durability can be expected if I dont protect them from vibration.

 

Thank you in advance for any help

I straight bolted mine to the bumper and haven't had any vibration related issues. In fact I would expect a rubber block to let the light vibrate worse (whipping around with wind or on rough roads). All the stock lights are hard-mounted to the body, and they hold up just fine.

 

A rubber strip between the light and the bumper might help for corrosion prevention though, so you don't have water wicking in between two metal surfaces.
