    FYRLYT Driving light review

    I’ve been following this guy for a while.....and I reckon he sums up Driving Lights pretty well and matches my experiences.

    I have a set of 5000’s to go onto the defender as I’ve been really happy with the sets on the work cars, LED don’t agree with my eyes......but I’m struggling to win the bride over as she likes the look of the small LED bar that came with the front bar.

    Given we rarely drive at night when touring apart from Friday nights for weekend getaways the FYRLYT might stay in the garage bench.

    As he’s says, different driver like different light set ups. How do I disguise a set of FYELYT on the front.

    I subscribe to this bloke, and I watched the video last night.
    Are you not concerned about the issues he had with his lights? Having said that, as he stated, the company was more than helpful to rectify, but those sort of issues shouldn't even be a thing these days....FYRLYT Driving light review
    I do agree about the warmth of Halogen when compared to led. My light bar does sometimes irritate me particularly when low level road signs, like a keep left sign on/in a traffic island for example, reflect the light straight back at ya face. While a Halogen may also do the same, it's not as intense.
    He does good videos that bloke. He's not full of BS and seems totally open and honest.

    I fitted them to two of my work utes.....

    Re: lenses, We went through 2 maybe three sets of the original lenses, FYRLYT never blinked an eye each time I rang, and they are so easy to change. The lastest design seem to be holding up.

    Re: beam adjustment, I agree with him there isn’t much difference between spread and pencil, I’ve had both on the work utes on spread, and have the light pointing slightly outward instead of straight down the road.

    Re: light pivot bolts, on my ute one locks up tight and the other generally moves back a bit lighting up the tree tops, never forward. A tap with heal of hand re-positions it. The oth Ute both seem to move a little, one up the other down

    Re: light output, halogen really suit my eyes, I have a pretty big correction in the glasses I wear.

    They are solidly build hence I brought them for my daily driver to fit as the LED light bar annoys me on the odd time I’ve driven at night, quite often I don’t use the light bar.

    Given the investment I have sitting in the work bench I should fit them. Don’t reckon I’ll ever buy round LED out a light bar again.

    The price and large number of LED options, I can see why they are so popular, surprises me how little users complain about the light output.

    Good stuff. Have you ever had any issues with the globe connection that he pointed out at the back of the housing? That seemed a bit weird to me....FYRLYT Driving light review

    Nope, although I installed with a bit of slack in the cable and a cable tie ensuring the cable doesn’t pull tight.

    The two work utes are both nearing 200,000 on the clock.

    Awesome. He did mention in his video that he'd bought them as second hand. So I'm wondering if they were the first batch??
    Is good though that you have first hand experience with them.
    They certainly threw the light. FYRLYT Driving light review

    I have had Nemesis pre-release units on my LRs.
    They had challenges with the hard coat on the original lenses but sorted it with the borosilicate units.

    The mount not tightening would be from a supplier issue in early batches - the thread couldn’t bottom out enough to hold the light - wasn’t noticed until operational on a vibrating vehicle.

    I’ve had the D4 set at least 8 years and still on the original globes... never had a problem with the holder either and I adjust beam regularly.

    Best lights I’ve ever run...

    Hmm.....

    Returned from a work trip last week and did recall a slight flicker when driving lights were on....


    Had a close look this morning and the lense is separating......a little frustrating

    The lens’s fitted are the latest generation.

    I have emailed FYRLYT and based on their previous customer service I’m pretty sure they’ll send through a new set of lens’s. This will be my third set off lens’s over 5 years.

    Anybody experienced this issue?

    The bride said maybe we should fit the set in the garage......we’ll suited for a landie. LED’s are still a no go for me, wondering what other halogen options there are.

    FYRLYT just called.....

    It appears the lense in question was from the first batch of the new design, the flat type which is current version.. They have since improved the glue bonding the two components together.

    Two set of lenses in the mail.

    Always impressed with the customer service.

    Given their ain’t too many options for halogen driving lights I’m more than happy supporting FYRLYT, a small Aussie company mostly manufacturing in AUS.
