Thread: where to run wires to the roof

no problem!
ahahahahahaha i know exactly what yoy mean by having light all around because there is nothing worse than coming into a corner and only being able to see a little patch in front oh and also i have herd that these HID kits that you can get to put in your exiting lights they are suposedly illegal in the UK so im asuming they would be illegal over here as well. but how will they know haha i must say im pretty impressed with my dads IPF halogen driving lights they are at least twice as bright as my halogen KC's and its a nice crisp light that you can even see a cricket hop across the ground 20m away and im also impressed with the design of the narva range also esspecially the extreme range i think its called?

The ruling apparently is that you are not able to have driving lights over 1200mm from the ground to the bulb of the light. Which to me doesnt sound right, what if the vehicle has a 6" lift? then they would be much higher than a standard hieght. Would anyone know where to look up the actual rules and regulations?

your friend is right, you can get away with it if they have covers and are rearward facing at the end of the day its all a thing of luck was it the lights that got there attention or was it something else and than light were just something else they were able to get him for

hmmmmm indeed i know exactly what your saying! well that means that lights mounted on a pneumatic (air operated) bar are not illegal? (so that they pop up) oh and does anyone know what site to look up on teh RTA for rules and regulations about modifications to cars like tyre size,track width,suspension etc etc ?

yea i normally head camping at night and there is nothing worse than my last trip where i had a hand drawn map on the back of an envelope with kep points like there is a dozer in a paddoch turn there, it was supposed to be 2 1/2 hours took me 7 1/2 hours coz i didnt see the dozer with my high beam so i thought 4 spots on the roof will put light up above you than spread them out nice and wide but keep the straight long distace spots on the bar, the narvas are a top light i rekon there as good as a lightforce but 1/3 the price

not sure about being mounted on a ram, as for legalites even the cops dont know the law they make it up to suit them, but you could prob get it on the governments website

hahahahahahah ok thanks ! and geez 7 1/2 hours now i could only imagine the words that were coming out your mouth..... well in my opinion the lightforce are a bit over rated and are not worth the extra money for there name considering i think Narva,IPF,KC,Hella,Cibie are about the pick of the bunch and also look better and as for the laws i agree with what you said haha
