Installing Amber Lights inside the car - location ideas

Hi all

Anyone fitted amber lights discretely and non damagingly inside their disco? This is the set I’ve got:

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=ht...3486724271

And I just wondered if anyone had used them and where they were installed

Thanks Thumbs Up

not fitted any in the car but when I did mine I put them in the grille as pics
I never got round to doing the rear before I finished using it as a workhorse but I was going to fit the rear into the rear bumper reflectors,
Forum member Wiggs did his at the rear like that and they looked very smart

Nice that!

I’m keen to keep them inside tho for easier install. I was thinking headlining by the windscreen

aplogises , wasn’t sure if u was going to add some to ur set Thumbs Up

just wondering if u could get just some suction cups attached to ur brackets so they can be installed at the rear and sides , so u don’t risk damaging any panels , etc

That’s a good shout actually. Allow me to put 3 up front and 3 in rear.

Going to have to have a play I think

great it’s of some use to u Laughing

assume u have tints at the back so at least the lights will be hidden until u turn them on

also wondering , ref the boots side lockers they have small grills on top so maybe the wires can pass through the grills and behind the side lockers , grabbing the wires through the access panels and a way to run the wires from front to back in the sill plastic channels Thumbs Up

Yep that’s what I’m thinking. It’s the front that may prove slightly harder.

It’s health and safety gone mad tho. Need them for working on private sites, hazards are not sufficient and I don’t want mag mount as it will scratch my roof up.

I think suckers on the rear and then clip them behind headlining in the front Thumbs Up
