This is my roof light bar install... I’m pretty pleased with it. There is other useful threads on here which will inform about how to wire it in to full beams. The wire runs down the inside of the (handily placed) black A-pillar trim. The roof rack behind it is for my surfboard.

Yes, driving lights, sorry.... I've already done that piece of the set up, the lights are in place and are hard wired into the full beam lights, so there is no turning back, the lights come on full (and I mean full!!!) with the full beams and the canbus has not made a squeak about it. Anyways I would not have thought that there were any better lights than the bi-xenons..... Now, taking in the above, the fact that I want to use the lights for off road and very rural roads, that I don't want to blind people when thanking them for letting me out of side turnings and most importantly that there is no turning back has anyone got any advice about my actual question rather than suggestions to do something different? Many thanks in advance

For deep dark rural areas - and green lanes - and it looks cool! I want the lights to come on when the full beams are on but I also want them to be switchable, so I can have choose between full beam and full beam and extra lights.

Oh, I also tried the remove the wipers suggestion but could not get the wiper arm off !!!! It was a very frustrating weekend. I know this is an old thread but I would be grateful for the help.

Hi - I am trying to wire up a switch for auxiliary fog lights - I have taken the glove box out (thanks for the link) and the heater controls out - I have cut one of the nipples off as suggested but I cannot feed the wire through as an air box (I think) is in the way. I cannot for the life of me see how to remove this or feed the wire through. Can anyone who has done this let me know what I need to do. (Or should I go for the nuclear options as above) Many thanks

"Style before practicality, always" has forever been my motto.

Ok.... its going to cost twice what I expected, add weight, get hung up on green lanes, be dangerous, may not even be legal, may cause more damage to the car in a small prang,.... I think you guys have persuaded me against the bull bar. The front of the Yeti is handsome enough as it is.

Having done more digging the EU approved bull bars seem to be bolted straight to the number plate area rather than bolted underneath and just sticking up infront of the car. I quite like the look of a light bar.... maybe on one of those flimsy numberplate mounts....

Hmm.... Probably wont go for the bull bars after all then. You can get EU approved ones as above, but (a) they are twice as much (b) I cannot see any difference to the "banned" ones, and (c) it's all probably going to change in 2021 (but lets not get into a political arguement on here, chaps). I wonder where I can mount my lights then? You can buy £12 number plate mounts from fleabay, which I had on a Jimny but they were a bit flimsy. Probably back in 87 you could fit an RSJ on the front of your car and legally you would be fine. My Old Ford Zephyr had so many things which would be illegal if manufactured today (no seatbelts, red/clear indiactors ..etc.. etc)

Hi all, I have just bought my Yeti 2014 2 litre diesel turbo Elegance and I absolutely love it. I was choosing between a few of these similar cars - the Jeep Renegade etc - and I feel blessed that I chose the Yeti. I want to add a couple of things to add to the "outdoor" character - bull bar, side steps, auxiliary fog lights - and am surprised that they are not more common due to the looks of the yeti. When I had my old Suzuki Vitara, many moons go, it was so common for these things to be added that you very rarely saw one without them. The driving lights I want to fit will be a pair mounted on the bull bar, powered by a relay off the switching circuit from the bi-xenons, via a switch mounted on one of the blanks below the heater controls. Now I know that these things will not to be to everyone's taste and to be honest the bi-xenons are so good that the spotlights are pretty much redundant, but I do a lot of rural road/green lane driving so every extra helps. And, more importantly, I just like the look. Because there seems to be such a lack of these additions there is not a lot of information about the fitment. The only actually useful information I found on the WHOLE internet was on briskoda - Any way if anyone has had experience of fitting the above, particularly the spot lights, and wants to give their advice i would be most grateful. And yes, Lanigraham, I know they might not be legal in the UK.
