A Pillar spot lamp?

[southernspeed]

I've just bought another truck. Driving it home I noticed a lot of wind noise, and my hand getting wet! I don't know how the heck I missed it but there was a half inch hole drilled clean through the A pillar and inner trim, exiting about 4 inches above the dash.
I'm guessing someone fitted, or was trying to fit one of those spot lamps you see on the A pillar. Does anyone have one fitted or know a) how they fit, b) where can I get one?

Any info or photos of ones fitted would be appreciated.

I know those don't help you know which one to get or anything, but those are just some of the links I got when I searched "police spotlight" on Google.

Unity are about the best quality ones I have seen. The LED models are a spot light, and by spot light I mean absolutely no peripheral beam. The halogen are much better in my opinion.

I can post some pics of them installed on Wednesday night.

A pic from inside and out would be appreciated, thanks.

At work we have a few old CPO trucks, and they all have Unity spotlights, they kick some ass.

I put one on my 87 Blazer. I got the bracket from NAPA and I am trying to find a digital picture of it. Here are some of my archive pictures of trucks with spots. The hot wire I ran through the gap at dash and pillar down to the battery plug on fuse box but you can do it to the ing one. I had a 20 amp in line fuse for extra protection.

Ok found an inside shot I had my handel pointing at 12 (up) when the spot was down. Then when I brought it up the handle was pointing at 7 It takes a 6 in Halogen Spotlight225GM-H and you need install kit (bracket) Driver Side Installation Kit27 Go to your napa store and get their number

Sorry for the delay, here is the outside bracket. Keep in mind these are on a new body style exploder.

Briefly going back to what I was saying about the LED spotlights not having a peripheral beam, here is about 30 yards.



And here is about 60 yards



The pictures don't really do justice to how bright they are, but because of the lack of a peripheral beam, I am not a huge fan of them.

That's great, thanks for your efforts. I see what you mean about that beam though! I'll be putting a complete set up on my shopping list!
