so i have a 9in Vision X Low Profile Xmitter on the front of my jeep and i love it.
now the other day while working on my jeep my roommate ask's how much the bar was and if i like it and such so i told him the price and showed him how well it worked later that night when i came home from work.
he now wants one for his ranger but hates the price so he came up with two crazy ideas.
so idea one is to use these lights(can get 4 of them which were used in a friends EE project and ran for maybe an hour at most)

would do this mod to run them on 12 v

I told him i would machine him the housings if he gives me the drawings and some pizza and beer.
Now im no EE but im going to guess that one of the two spring looking things is the + and the other is the -, hook up to 12v with a relay and switch put in a housing with a lexan shield to help protect them more and your good to go.
Idea two is to buy 12 of these

Machine a housing and wire them up. said he would make it run on a 3 position switch off-6 on-12 on.
just seems to simple, i dont see either way being brighter then what i have, other wise everyone would be making their own light bars. also i dont think they will live up to the abuse if he build one.
He has money to piss away and i dont mind making the housings.
So what does the PBB say will this work or be a big fail?
