Project #03: Off Road LED Lights And Good Side Mirrors

Now that the buggy was more comfortable and fit two adults much better, I needed new lights for after dark and a set of side mirrors to keep an eye on traffic.

I found a great deal on a set of 6" round Anzo LED off road lights at a local O'Reilly Autoparts and then ordered a set of side mirrors from amazon. Although I was installing these large Anzo lights, I knew that they would not be legal for "low beam" highway use so I was still in search of another set for another project date later on.

Here are the parts I purchased:

• Offroad Side Mirrors for UTV (Pack of 2) For 1.6" - 2" Roll Cage Bar, Break Away High Impact
• Anzo 6" Round Off Road LED Lights 2-Wire with Harness

This project included the following tasks:

1. Remove existing headlights and all wiring
2. Install wiring harness and new relay into dash console
3. Connect relay to existing off/on switch
4. Ran new wire from console to light locations at front of buggy
5. Mounted new lights
6. Installed side mirrors and adjusted properly
7. NOTE: I added some rubber spacing to account for the fact that the mirrors are made for larger diameter tubing
