Thread: $3500 for a pair of spotties What The ?????

Dollar for dollar, I still think you can't go past a set of hella rallye 4000, they are old technology but they are extremely well built, heavy steel construction and give out a fantastic light...hid lights would be nice but I think the Hellas are good value for money, mine are about 6 yrs old and have done 500,000km on some really crap roads, taken kangaroo strikes and are still in good working order, wonder if Alan whiting paid for his lights?!

If you have room for them, Hella 1503 or 1507 searchlamps are the ultimate long range driving lights.

Interesting that it is still on the market, I considered it when I was looking back in February.
Have not seen the magazine so maybe just an article ?

I fitted a "Tigerz 11" 12,000 lb winch to my ARB bar (with plasma rope) for around $800 from memory, haven't used it in anger as yet but I gave it a good trial run on a mates block up near Mansfield and it pulled the D3 no worries - it'll do me
cheers

pretty sure richard around the corner from me has this setup as well on his D4

When my air conditioning compressor failed I asked around re if this was common, the workshop I had it done at said most of the ones they knew of that had failed had a bar, spotties and a winch fitted. Their reasoning was the spotties etc reduced the airflow through the grill causing reduced cooling. They believed the Spotties were the main issue.

It would be interesting to hear if others have heard similar story's.

I have the Landrover OME spotlighjts on my D3 and they are rubbish, very poor light output. I repalced the globes with uprated ones, fitted a relay that draws direct from the battery and it triggered off the high beam cirecuit. Yes it has the switch on the dash to kill it as per legal requiremnts.

Even with that the light output is very poor. Wonder if there is an aftermarket spot lens etc that can be retrofitted into the LR housing??

And Hella 4000's are rubbish as well, light arse tin, average optics... Not sealed....
