Also looked up Alan Whiting's YouTube video of the lights in operation - very effective long range lighting with wide near distance spread.
Thanks for your opinions and help.
Many on here swear by Fyrlyts:
Welcome to FYRLYT Driving Lights
Tombie on here can give you a lot of back ground on them. Better than Light Force apparently.
Those LF 215s are an Aurora import rebadged - $450.00 from China direct...
Pretty close to it. ;)Quote:

I drove back from Perth last night - home at about 9:30pm. This was the first trip with the Fyrlyts.
Having previously done the same trip with Hella Predators, Britax X-Ray Vision and Lightforce (all HID) on various vehicles, I can honestly confirm that the Fyrlyt Nemesis lights EASILY out performs any of the above.
My only criticism of the Fyrlyts (and it is only a minor one) is that even with everything tightened up as much as possible after setting / adjusting the lights, it is still quite easy to move the lights, either sideways or up / down. Their mounting system, while solid and simple, is not as secure as some others I have experienced before. I don't see this as a major drama though, as I'm currently looking at a couple of possibilities on how to secure the mounting better.
Would still recommend these lights to anyone though. My young bloke wants a set for his Amarok when he buys it.

My question is how do you wire the lights you have attached to the roof Racks? Where do you run the wiring?
TIA,
Wayne
I have been running Fyrlyts on my Vogue for about 18 months now. Never had one move unintentionally. What are you using to tighten them? An allen key isn't enough for the horizontal bolt.Quote:

Wiring on mine runs along chassis to rear of vehicle, then up alongside the tailgate and onto roof where it goes into left side channel, then up the inside of left rear leg into the roof rack. Then runs along the inside of the left side rail of the roof rack.Quote:

I've used a hex driver that's part of one of my socket sets, and the ratchet handle from the socket set.Quote:
