Thread: Led light bars and driving lights together?

LED light bars don't have the long distance penetration of a good driving light, but they have excellent short to medium range and usually a good spread of light to the sides, so both types of lights compliment eachother. If you do a lot of country driving, running both makes sense because the LED will be good for spotting Roos etc and the benefits of good driving lights are obvious.

As per Murray's advice both typically complement each well - you need pretty epic LEDs to get good distance (see my set up below) and most driving lights cannot give the spread/flood of light provided by LEDs.

For context, I'm currently running two 18 LED Great White round driving lights (GW LEDs seem to be some of the most spot orientated on the market) and am about to fit a pair of 24 LED GW light bars to compliment these. A pair of HIDs would be a good alternate to the round GWs.

You'll love the light bar in the tight going!

One area that LEDs definitely outperform conventional lights is in the bush on tight tracks. They have a much wider spread of light where you want it.

It's much more important to know what's on teh sideof teh road where you'll be in a few seconds (grasshoppers) , as opposed to what's in the road where you'll be much later.
