Was wondering where group members have installed driving and/or fog lights on the Kodiak 5500. Does opening the hood contact the lights if they are put on the top of the bumper? Can they be installed in the openings for the tow hooks without blocking airflow or would it be better to put them under bumper?
Thanks,
Tony

Here is a post on RV.net on the subject.

I thought of putting them on my Kodiak. But I have tow hooks mounted in the holes.
Thinking about putting a set under bumper. Using holes that are already in underside of bumper.

I'm thinking of adding additional lights in the space in the front bumper. In the rv.net thread, he says that he installed, "boat lights". Are these boat deck flood lights? If so, is that going to be blinding to oncoming drivers or is it another type of boat light?

I've looked at possibly doing this same thing with my Seneca but I have had a lot of people swear by HID lights using a conversion kit and be very happy with the light output. Keep this on mind if generating more light is your main reason for changes.

You want to get real driving lights with a Sharp cut-off so not to blind oncoming traffic.

Tom,
I mounted a set of Hella fog lights under the bumper. Been thinking about driving lights but I am not sure where to mount them. I did change out the stock headlight for Silerstars. They were a good improvement.

Rob,
How does the Hellas work for you? I have considered the same set up.

I think I'll try the Silverstars also. I checked the Kodiak user manual, but it doesn't indicate what's bulb #. Do you recall?

I like the amber contrast, particularly on wet pavement, very dark twisty mountain roads, and of course fog.

I know one pari is the Sylvania SilverStar H4651 (because I still have the box). Trouble is I am not sure if that is the low or high beam part number. Installation is a snap.

Hi Beam - H4651
HI-Lo Beam - H4656
SilverStar product line (http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/HighPerformance/Silverstar/ProductLine/) .
I notice that page above list a H4666ST. More wattage on both low and high beam. I wonder if they will fit our C5500's?

Cool!!! Thanks Ron and gang!
I'm planning a two week trip from SoCal to Yellowstone, then back to Zion, so I want to make sure everything is up-to-snuff before my longest trip ever (distance and time).
