I thought I had seen this somewhere before - I've come across a "Nissan" Mag Light and would like to install some "clip-in" type brackets next to the driver's side seat.

Thanks

i think you can buy a maglite clip but putting it on i dont know

dennisadhs

I have it installed. It is fairly simple. The clip that holds it inplace is one that is produced by Mag-lite. I bought mine as a kit deal with the flashlight and a mini for $20, plus batteries-great deal.

Many of us have done this. Many times, the clips are available wherever you buy the flashlight.

Most Home Depos will have them as well as ACE Hardware, or

Get the maglite kit from samsclub. $20 something gives you 2 flashlights + 2 brackets + screws. use a drill to mount the bracket right into the floor. a 2 minute job.

well worth it.

I guess the two light kits from Costco doesn't have the clips. Unless I didn't notice it and threw it out with the packaging... doh

I got the same maglite set from BJ's but the package never came with brackets only the 3d maglite, 2AA minilite, but no brackets, I think I'll be gettin some brackets from like homedepot or some autozone or someplace like that must have them. It beats having my maglite under the seat or in the back.

I'm not flaming anyone but is there a reason why so many 5th gen owners are installing maglites/flashlights in there car? When I had my 4th gen this didn't seem to be a common thing to do. Although I do think it's a great idea and location for one.

hey it beats carrying a bat in the trunk or something else that is hard to get to, its easy access and it comes in handy in more than one thing.

You can buy the brackets online too.

JoE'sMaX01

iTrader: (2)

how much do they go for usually??? is it from ebay?

Epacy

iTrader: (6)

It's mainly for all the reasons I can't think of.

vsamoylov

in the 4th gen, it wont fit there so you need another spot to mount it.

I have a Red D Cell Mag lite, but I want a silver one like Epacy... Mag lite is good to have once in a while and it looks pretty cool. Also makes a decent night stick!

Lytheum

yeah...i have one two. picked up a 6 d cell maglite and brackets off ebay. total cost was like $25. only hard part was holding the bracket in place next to the seat. there are holes in the metal under the carpet, so you have to get it on a solid part.

i didnt mess around with mine...got the biggest maglite i could fine and xenon bulbs for it too!

They are $3.95 at this place

I keep my Maglite in my trunk. I don't want to drill any holes in my car.

nyautostyle

this mod is definitly worth it for many many many reasons, i wouldnt leave my driveway without em

Zero Deuce SE

What would happen if you did happen to leave your driveway without em? What are some of the "many many many reasons?"

the mag light has come in handy more times than i can remember. having it next to the seat is extremely convenient.

thanks alot! this place looks to have eveything good looking out!

I'm not saying it's going to change your life or anything...but It's nice to have a strong flashlight on-hand in case of emergency (I used mine to look for an earring my wife dropped near the car in a parking lot, of all things... ). As to the mounting position, well....it's just a convenient position, that's all.

Wouldn't it be a b!tch if everyone had to explain their mods in a 2 page thread?

dtholmanmax

I didn't mean for this to get this long!!
By the way, I checked :

They are $3.95 at this place

gotta love google

Not so much - this $4 part was going to cost $7 to ship! UGHHHH..

I wanted to do this but was just curious if these things rattle at all seeing as how they're right next to the seat and door.

Epacy

iTrader: (6)

I have noticed no such rattling from this. The installation is very sturdy.

Lytheum

my dad got the xenon bulbs for me...i think he got them from a mac tool dealer
