True. I grew up in Hume Weir, Rylstone, Ceduna, Carnarvon, etc.

We won't talk about Inala....

damn city folk just scared of us bush boys!

Roof lights are both cool and useful - even for those over 40!

Had them for years and driven hard tracks at night including lots of deep mud and water. Daylight drives are fun, but night trips are a whole lot better!!!

Mine are tucked up under the roof rack to protect them and are trained down to eliminate all shadows and light up the sides of the track in tight situations. As has been previously pointed out, when the water depth or track overgrowth is over bull bar height they're worth their weight in gold and even excessive mud plugging doesn't reduce their effectiveness.

Camel trophy vehicles didn't have them fitted for image, as everything had to have a purpose. The image was born from that.

That all said, I'd never dream of using them on road and use my bull bar mounted lights for that which they're designed.

As has been said, fit them if you have a want and need, otherwise - dont!

Were you one of the Salisbury High kids who practiced their human relationships homework on the train?

we sell automotive lighting for a living and find that broadbeams on the roof give off too much reflection of bonnets etc a few well direct long range (pencil or spot) beams are a better way to go and put the spread on the bullbar where they can spread out nice and wide and get the grass and trees in full view.

Just some advice from teh self proclaimed lighting experts...

this makes sense to me and I won't need to run the pencil beams unless I need the extra distance.
