Yep, very good point which I've addressed as best I can with some new Phillips globes - they are much brighter than standard and give a much better low beam than standard.

The driving lights are for when SWMBO is driving the back roads from Rosedale to Seaspray down here in Vic at night - which she does quite often as her folks live down there. The old Lancer we had went to God on that road years ago when tangling with skippy. I want to try and avoid a repeat.

Slightly larger than 200 mm but an excellent light. They will rival Fyrlyts, I have both. The depth will have to be checked.

Good light but will not come close the rivalling the Fyrlyt...

If your Fyrlyt isnt performing far better than them check your wiring and voltage at the light connection...

The reason I consider the Taurus rivals FYRLYTs is based on usable light. As per my avitar, I have red covers on the Taurus; this prevents animals being blinded and playing statues in front of me. It also stops dazzling reflections from road-side signage.
I am very impressed with my FYRLYTs, but find I have to dip the lights earlier for oncoming traffic and more often to prevent dazzling myself. Ideally, I would like red covers on the FYRLYTs.

Very happy with the result

Pete.

New Super Oscar with 75w Hid, both spread.

for the Defender

But, for the company landcruiser in Png, for lots of **** roads and the prospect of theft/damage I thought the 175 Narva * 2 spread looked a fair price At $350

Thanks for the response V8Ian...
