SupporterRighto…..I must be cursed by FYRLYT, got be buggered why since I’ve purchased three sets of 5000’s, two sets were for work vehicle and this cursed set on the defer, my I’m cursed because I fitted them to a Land Rover
I KNOW I KNOW, me again….bashing on an out lenses.
A few posts up you’ll see this pic, which at the time I thought was letting moisture through….well it appears it is
2 dayz ago I spot its mates has really copped it from the driving light gods….
Some might recall I keep threatening to ditch the lights after the constant lense issues…….well I kinda gotta fix em now as the defer is sold and given these lights were fitted when the new owner viewed the car it only fitting that I fit new lenses.
I will be telling him at handover that within 5,000km expect a broken or failed lense as they are cursed

SupporterWas just thinking……way back, well last year, when we were doing seasonal work in Broome I helped a young backpacker couple fit a set of KINGS LED spot lights to there car……
I said no way are these going to survive The Gibb……
They had sooo much pleasure in sending me a pic of the spotties surviving The Gibb…..
Sadly my FYRLYT didn’t survive The Gibbb…..good chance I posted something about that failure in the thread.

And for the record, none of ours (3 sets) have had issues since the clamp on style lenses.
Nothings leaked, fallen out, cracked

I was going to **** around and switch the clamps around so the logo was the right way round……but given the defer was going g to a new owner today I passed on the idea.
That the last of the driving light gone…..don’t reckon I’d buy another set.

SubscriberHello, Everyone!
I first wanted some 5000's but after some consideration, now opting for Nemisis 9000's. Reading Tombie's remarks, thinking of the MoFo 12000's but still on the fence.
I just wanted the best lights for visibility but we normally don't do the speeds you guys do out in the bush hence the choice now between 9000 and 12000 variants.
Another thing is mounting position. At first, I wanted to mount on an A bar in from to of the grill but had some concerns on cooling as I have an uprated intercooler and a remap. What would be the best way to mount these? I'm thinking I like the way Tombie mounted his lights but am still open to optimum mounted solutions. Also considering mounting some higher up via the roll cage for when the front lights may be underwater or something.
We have a lot of floods and do participate in relief and rescue operations when waters get high or if a community needs immediate support somewhere where "normal" vehicles can't go yet.
I was thinking of just going Nemesis 9000 in the front and up top but for those with practical experience, you may have other suggestions. Avoiding LEDs as they seem to attract the wrong kind of authorities calling for their removal and confiscation. For some reason, they do not attack Halogen systems though.
Appreciate your feedback and suggestions.
