Default Another Depo ??

Well.....my depo's sat on my tool box for a year before I got around to installing them. And I'm sad to say I think I may have lost a few piece (2 forward brackets and the instructions).

And thats where I need the power of the C5 section to help !!

I have 3 brackets per light...I'm thinking I need 4. The 3 that I have go on the rear of the light and both sides. I have no bracket for the front (forward) part of the light.

I installed them and took a drive, they are great but they vibrate...bad. My buddy said it looked like the cops strobe light coming down the highway. I'm thinking the forward bracket would eliminate this.

So....does anyone have the original instructions or or pics of what I'm missing (forward brackets) ??


Thanks.....any help would be appreciated..

Come on guys...I know this is a "no fun thread".......but your help would be much appreciated. Or at least a lead in the right direction.

I've done a very thorogh search and found some good info on the depo's but not the exact info I'm looking for.


Thanks.......

Maybe you can make a couple of "L" brackets to secure the front?
Just a thought.

I looked at doing this but it seems there is no hole on the car side to do this......no existing holes.....there are on the light.....thats the easy part.....so I'm not sure.

Maybe secure a bracket to the lights and run it to the lower section, You can access it by the 2 access pannels under the front, I am sure there is somewhere to secure a bracket in there.
And yes, If they shake you do need to fix that.

I think I found my answer.....I do have to drill..

Step 4: You can now install the lights , only 3 of the 4 brackets line up with factory mounting points, the fourth one will require you to run a self tapping screw into the front re-bar.


Thanks.....

I have a set of Depos that I will be removing towards the end of the month because i ordered a set of Stealth Light Cannon V2 Headlights from Radioflyer Innovation.This way you would have all the brackets and an extra set of depos, exept they are painted black but like brand new. Will let go at a very low price.
