    3 Driving lights on the bullbar

    Hi All,
    I have a spare spotlight (thanks to a kangaroo & insurance!!) the spare is only slightly damaged but works fine, so I was thinking of putting it on the front to have 3 across. Has anyone done this? The only thing I can think of would be airflow & overheating issues. It's a TD5. Incase it helps, the lights are Lightforce XGT 240's which are quite big so I am thinking they maybe too big & restrict airflow.
    Thanks,
    Dave.

    I've seen 3 across the bulbar before but I'm not sure how much benefit the third would be & I'm not sure if it's legal. I think there has to be a minimum distance between each light so the light beam doesn't interweave too much?
    IMO, looks a bit dicky

    Spot on.
    And you may have no more than 6 Main Beam headlights, ie, 2X High beam and 4XDriving Lights mounted in pairs.
    So the Dudes you see faffing around with 4 on the Bullbar and 6 or 8 aross the roof are Waaaaay over the limit for on road use.
