Ditto all the comments on the Super Oscars. In particular the comments about using only the driving version rather than the spots, also the comments about the light temperature. We used to run 150 watt Tungsram globes in our rally cars and they stood out as being able to best tolerate all the vibration and shocks.
These days I find the whiter lights on my Disco give way too much reflection off road signs and are nowhere near as easy on the eyes to drive with, especially in rain and misty conditions.
Another thing about the Cibie lights is that they were made in France and at the time France had much more liberal lighting laws than other countries. This allowed then to manufacture much brighter lights. The lenses were lead crystal and controlled the beam exceptionally well which is why they were more expensive than most of the others. The knock offs from other manufacturers were nowhere near as good.
