Default Advice for Spottie Install

Hi All,
My partner and I do a fair bit of travelling around and I have recently bought a narva broad beam spotlight kit to make the night driving a bit safer.

Have a pig nose if that helps - ideally want them on the outside two grills,but I am undecided about the best way to install these onto the car... I dont like light bars and would prefer not to have one. Just wondering if anyone can give me any advice or hints about the best way to mount them?

Thanks!

Moose

But seriously, the HIDs on my Sti (Piggy) are great, and provide as much light as the halogen Narvas spot and spread on my Landcruiser.

Is there any pics of wrxs with a bunny bar i could look at - my google of "bunny bar" didnt really turn up any useful pics - seeing as though as a girl i dont really get into playboy bunnys hehe

And would a normal light bar damage bumper or the way i was thinking...?

on my Foz I had a licence plate light bar but used a connector for the wires so I could easily remove the lightbar & spotties. took 2 mins to put on and remove

Something like this would be win imo:



I believe Unibar makes one that is sold at Supercheap/Repco style places

AWS Product 2

Otherwise, this style:
