View Full Version : My driving lights got stolen.
25psi 04-24-2001, 08:37 AM Friggin pricks UNBOLTED my light bar mounted HELLA 500 lights.
They must have really wanted them cuz lights were bolted on by IMPACT WRENCH at the shop.
What an a$$wipes. I hate people messing with other people's cars.
Anyhow, I just wanted to vent. I was very pissed but in a way happy that they did not brake a window or kiked a fender.

Lifino 04-24-2001, 08:45 AM Man that SUCKS! Can't believe the nerve of some people.
Where were you parked where they could do that? They were nice enough not to damage anything? Any scratching? Insurance or no?
Hope you like that stock look.

tmat3 04-24-2001, 08:45 AM Damn, a lot of fools in this city. Stealing other people's stuff. Did they only take the lights, or did they take the light bar also? Sucks...
25psi 04-24-2001, 08:52 AM I was foolishly parked across from the bar. THERE WERE NO OTHER PARKING SPACES!!!!!
And I did had a bad feeling about it. Should have trusted my good ol' gut. It us usually right like it was this time.
Nothing else got kiked or stolen or damaged. Only ligths off the bar were unbolted. Bar surely stayed it is not easy to take off and is quite involving.
Friggin SUVs are running around with those ligths all the time. How is my car different.
Anyhow I now need a really cheap driving lights or an idea on how o make good once unmountable or something.

On the bright side, I just bought a new set of Hella 500 driving lamps from EBAY for $60USD.
Or maybe you can get those PIAA ProXT80's... sweetness!
BigElm 04-24-2001, 09:06 AM Brotha', you should know better...Crooklyn???? Your alarm didn't go off??? But then again, if it did you probably didn't even hear it...Sorry man...

25psi 04-24-2001, 09:20 AM I bought my HELLA 500 of http://4x4connection.com/ for $55 or so.
Why would alarm go off? Thanksfully there were no hits or anything.
And there is no way in hell I can find out who it was. It aint such a great neighborhood and there are many ****heads.

STiShawn 04-24-2001, 10:16 AM Hella or PIAA sells a kit to wire your fog lights mounting bolts into the alarm system...good insurance.

25psi 04-24-2001, 11:23 AM Many places have them but i wonder if they will fit other non PIAA lights.

remarcable 04-24-2001, 11:41 AM Yes I want light locks.
Can't have somebody running off with my new Hella FF100 driving lights.
Light Locks Link please!
HoratioCaine 04-24-2001, 11:55 AM www.autobulbdepot.com (http://www.autobulbdepot.com) has PIAA lamp locks
<IMG SRC="http://www.autobulbdepot.com/images/piaa_30092.jpg" border=0>
I'd link you right to them but they use "shopping carts" so you can't link into their site. They also sell the alarm retrofit things.
Click on Products, then scroll way down to the bottom "Additional Accessories" and they're on the bottom half of the page.
$29 for PIAA lamp locks, $19 for IPF locks, and $33.99 for the PIAA alarm thingy.
HoratioCaine 04-24-2001, 11:57 AM Or you could just smash the threads on the mounting stud after bolting it on. It'll keep people from taking them off without some serious effort.
ImprezedRS 04-24-2001, 02:11 PM Hey i thought my hellas would have been the first thing to be stolen theyweren't but the spoiler was stolen, but i got my alarm so sensitive if you bearth on it will go off.
Accurit 04-24-2001, 04:22 PM are those lights worth it? i like the stock ones...
