To check the aim on the lights, line up to a wall head on about 5 metres or so you'll see like a bright white light (would there be an easier way to describe it ?) re-aim the lights till their both level with each other. For the measurement side of things, its about the centre line of the head lights to the ground and transfer that measurement to the wall. I like to have mine pointed a little higher then normal, but go too high and you can blind on coming traffic with your low beam. Not good and not legal either. Which is another reason i shy away from the 90/100 bulbs.
The nudge bar (Roo-bar) was custom made at an exhaust shop. Cost me about $150. I believe ARB 4wd, or whatever their called, sells one. It mounts to the tow points behind the bumber bar.
The power wire for the relays, take it from the light switch thats on the steering column. And have the accessory (driving lights/fog lights) light switch between them. With the fog lights have them wired into the parkers or low beam. Why ? Ever tried driving with the high beam on in thick fog, its like looking into a fogged up mirror.
I cant see why the alternator wouldn't able to keep up with the extra draw. So long as i don't go to far overboard with extra lighting.
If your cars the fuel injected one the alternator should be putting out around the 60amp mark (I'm taking a pot-shot at that, the later ae92 used a 70amp alternator). The carby version is around 50amps. As for the bigger alternator look to a later model car especially like a landcruiser etc. Or ask an auto elecy to rewind the alternator for more amps.
Since that pic i've added 2 more lights and the standard alternator (60amps) is chugging along fine with the whole lighting she-bang turned on, the heater fan running and the wipers running.
One good tip with the lights - get yourself a pair of smallesh spotlights (small nightvisions, etc) and have them angled out a little. Works a treat for corners and spotting wildlife on the side of the road. I cant stand driving a car now a days without them.
