Dear Automotive lighting enthusiasts,
Back in November 2010, my trusty 1965 Buick Special wagon was hit by a driver who just plowed into my wagon which wasn't moving. The accident happened in a parking lot that was in the shade of many tall redwoods. Since then, I've been on the hunt for some modern daytime running lights that might have prevented this accident. I just stumbled across the Hella LEDay Flex Daytime Running Lights:

They have a nice round shape that would compliment the existing round headlights and being universal it should be possible for me to mount these things somewhere:

Alas, that's also the problem. Coming up with a bracket for these fixtures looks difficult and requiring some fancy fabrication skills.
Hella provides some bracket designs in the manual for these lights:

But they are clearly imagining themselves with a nice machine shop to fabricate the brackets with.
Has anybody come up with material that can be more easily adapted to mount the LEDay Flex Daytime Running Lights on your car?
Thanks in advance for any clever schemes out there! :thumbsup:
Cheers, Edouard
