Hey guys just wanted to share a light mod we did on my Infraction in case anyone was looking for ideas that work with the unusual design like the infraction. I do a lot of evening running with my rigs so lights are almost always a must but the Infraction’s design presented some different challenges. I don’t like doing lights attached to the bodies of my rigs with wires needing to be secured to the body because jumping and bashing seem to take their toll on them so I strictly do light mods where lights can be installed/secured to the chassis/frame of the rig. Because of the untraditional front and rear ends like the Infraction has, this mod was a bit different than my other ones. I only use white 2” and 4” Proline “super bright” LED bars on front ends and Gear Head red LED bars on rear ends and Gear Head metal mounting kits. These bars are not the cheap route but I believe you get what you pay for. These bars are all waterproof and all run between $44-$49 each with the mounting kits for $9 per. This is my fourth light mod and I’m pretty rough on my rigs and have yet to have one of these bars fail. I’ve tried bars that are half the price and they’ve all crapped out within a month so in the long run I’ve found these to be the less expensive route. The fronts are 2” Proline “super brights” and the rear is a 2” Gear Head “red”. Fronts are recessed into the foam insert and secured with Gorilla Glue with wiring threaded up through the top via a cavity punched in the foam with a Dremel and the cutouts on the body were done with the Dremel. The rear is mounted with the Gear Head metal mounting kit directly to the diffuser with the wiring threaded through a hole popped using the Dremel in the air port of the diffuser. Here are a few pics. Would like to see what some other guys did if you do lighting on your rigs.
