Thread: SPOT LIGHTS?? Types and brands??

They do sound awesome the FYRLYTS i would love a set but dont have anything to put them on as my D4 doesn't have a bull bar and we are looking at rearranging our car situation so not sure what i will have next but if it can it will have a bull bar and some nemesis on it!!

Nat_89,

Does your dad have decent headlights?

I've got Hella 4000 HID's on mine that the previous owner kindly put on it... it also has bi xenon headlights... (Which definitely help as the drivers are pencil beams.

Seem to work

Recently did a trip across the Nullarbor and back with lots of night driving.
This was in our Subaru Forester, which has no bull-bar. I hate driving at night due to the animal risk, so avoid it whenever possible, but this was a special Christmas trip, so had to be done.
Overcame the problem with a $300 8-LED light bar mounted on the bonnet with two huge suction cups (the sort you lock down with a lever) and a jury-rigged control switch linked to the high beam.
Unlike spots, they didn't shine much further down the road than the ordinary headlights, but the spread to the sides was incredible (this is where the animals that get you will come from), and the cold blue colour really made objects stand out (unlike the more yellowish light from the standard lamps).
The appearance was not unlike what you see in bytemrk's post, although the range down the road was less, and the spread to the sides was better.
I felt comfortable at 100kph, and only a little tense at 110, when normally I'd be reluctant to go much above 80kph with just the headlights.
I'll be mounting the bar on my Series- although it's probably overkill, after all the old thing rarely gets above 80kph anyhow, and it has a solid iron bar to deflect any unfortunate wildlife.

Cibbie Super Oscars.

Still a great light.

Its a short wheel base GQ patrol that some fella spent an absolute fortune on a body off restoration and its all been done up with a small little pipe bar which currently has some light force ones on there but he's not really keen on them and he's looking at 4000 Hellas!! Jeeze they go unreal with a HID kit there awesome!! So the factory headlights are pretty **** weak being a 1988 model haha

He currently has a Man pantec truck which he has a Rigid Industries 40" LED light bar on the roof and he's stoked with how good that is but with this car its already got 2 round cut out holes with lights in them so i think he wants to basically replace them with lights that will fit the holes I'm thinking!! But he does love his LED bar haha!!

Tell him you will buy the Fyrlyts off him if he dont like them.
You wont be buying them off him

Amazing how people perceive white glare as bright.
Spend six hours behind it and see how the eyes feel...
