    LED Driving Lights Dilema

    So, have just bought a brand new NX MY2020 Pajero. My old 1996 Paj will either go to my oldest son or Gumtree

    Anyway, bought a number of the accessories through the dealer, and they are now being fitted by the local 4x4 store. I agreed with dealer to have a bull bar and led spotlights fitted (Bushranger Nighthawk VLI Series 9). However, the 4x4 store has just let me know that the Mitsubishi bull bar fitted is too narrow to fit the lights (only has around 25mm width).

    Has anyone else run into this issue? Any suggestions on round led lights that would fit?

    My last option would be to go back to the dealer and get them to fit a new bull bar at their expense, but trying to avoid this if possible.

    Thanks

    I'm not really understanding the question but having just gone through this I may help.
    I went through the exercise of pricing aftermarket bars for my 2018 NX and in the end decided to buy the genuine steel Mitsubishi bar.
    I priced an ARB and another one I can't remember the name of and they both couldn't/wouldn't use the existing fog and daytime running lights so these had to be purchased as well. By the time everything was priced up they were same or dearer than the Mitsubishi bar so it was an easy decision to go genuine.
    One bar I was quoted on they couldn't even supply daytime driving lights....the bloke said "you'll just have to go without them"
    Sorry, just re read your post....you're trying to fit extra driving lights. We're on a different page.

      Is the problem the depth of the bullbar, the position of the predrilled mounting holes for lights and the back clearance between the the grille and the lights?

      The mounting brackets may be reversible on the Lightforce Striker LED, if so these lights would have minimal rear protrusion from the mount and the mounting plate looks narrower than the Nighthawks.

        Hang on, you bought the accessories through the dealer but now dealing with a different place for fitment?

        Were the accessories part of the deal, and if so it's for the dealer to worry about I would think?

          Yeh, you're right. Problem is I still need a 4wd I can use.

          So, trying to see what solutions I can come up with.
