Yes. 3 plates for the full brick height of the second headlight brick, and half a plate added by flipping the second headlight brick upside-down so the lip on the foot is on the other side of the tile w/ clip. Not that this is technically not connected, as there are no parts (that I'm aware of) that allow you to connect headlight bricks base-to-base...without modification, at least.<br /><br />And the Wikipedia entry is for "bullbar":<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullbar<br /><br />However, in the US, depending on geography, the primary use you'll see for these is police vehicles where they serve the two primary purposes of being used as push bars to remove stalled/disabled cars from the roadway (I once had a bad spot on a distributor that periodically caused my car to stall until it was finally diagnosed, and had a cop push me from the front of a left-hand turn lane to a nearby parking lot...where it immediately started as soon as I turned the key), and to perform the legendary PIT maneuver (not something I have never had performed on my car, thankfully).<br /><br />I mean, you sometimes see the really lightweight ones on an SUV here or there, but most of those aren't designed for offroad driving any more rugged than a well-tended dirt road, so I suspect all they're expected to do is save maybe half their cost in damage if a deer should run across the freeway in front of them.Purple Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-52792880133751155292018-09-02T02:53:04.621+01:002018-09-02T02:53:04.621+01:00Always seems to be out of stock on bricks and piec...Always seems to be out of stock on bricks and pieces.Allthenamesaretakenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655049229918123680noreply@blogger.com
