I want to get some of those big ones can't remember the name blitz I think, to go on ARB bullbar. ( D2 TD5 )

My question ( might be a bit silly ) because the lights are so big does anyone think they would restrict air flow into the cooling system and cause over heating problems. Also anyone go these lights what are they like.

Thanks Tombraider, those lights look awesome think that's the way I will go.

There such big suckers I just thought they might make the cooling system work a little too hard by restricting air flow on a hot day, e.g. 35 degrees plus plugging through soft sand.

Mine were on the rig when I bought it. Best lights I have ever used.

Put some 240 XGT's on my D1. Best lights i've ever used and will only get better when i get around to installing my HID bulbs.

No difference with engine temp.

XGT's and the blitz have different mounting systems and may or may not work with your bar without mods. XGT's work well with ARB airbag bar. Tight fit though.

Heres mine mounted to my D2 ARB bar. I got the XGTs over the Blitz so i could rotate the mount, i also liked the look of the XGTs, the blitz mounting arm didnt seem as solid.

I used the standard mounting tabs and just rotated the mounts around the other way so they sit further forwards, they protude a little bit past the bar but not as far as the rubber bumper sections.

Yep, I have had my XGT's for a couple of years and they are the best driving lights I have ever had. Never had problems with cooling.

I cut off the normal mounting tabs on the ARB bar and drilled new holes in the main body of the bar. This allowed them to sit back a bit further.

If you have an auto box and do a lot of sand/rock driving you may have temp. problems with the auto overheating, I did, I moved the winch control box up into the engine bay to give better airflow to the coolers, Regards Frank.

If you can afford it go the XGT HID instead of the blitz. Ive had both and XTG are far better.. difference is like chalk and cheese.

6 year old thread dig, not bad. Ron would be proud for someone using the search function.

We ended up getting the 170 striker's with crystal blue wide/spread filters.

These filters give an even, uniform flood of light that lets you see round bends and well off the side of roads even with them pointed straight ahead.

Didn't like the standard spot clears as they tend to narrow your focus giving you a sort of tunnel vision due to the need for your eyes to adjust to the different illumination levels when looking to the side of the road from the centre.

I run 170s, they are good enough for me, the 130 doesn't g fast enough to need to see more than a Kilometer ahead.

Exactly as where we drive at night we mostly aren't driving that fast.
