At least the D4 has a 180Amp alternator :D
I will take some pics when I'm back from my swing...

I can 1000% vouch for the strength of the lens'. I hit a kangaroo in the D2 a couple of nights ago, body wedged into the LH headlight, smashed it out and stuck into the recess and the head hit the light and it laid back in the mount and wedged the head between it and the hoop on the xrox bar. Despite the soon to be defunct roo's attempts to free itself by removal of the light the body, lens, globe and mount all stayed intact. the only evidence being a few stray hairs left behind.
The bar is still fine, no deformation of the wing, hoop or crush can. The washer bottle is intact, some deformation but once the xrox guard was removed it came back into shape. So a new guard, grille, headlight, indicator & radiator support panel and all good.
Hi guys and gals
A question for the many people that have bought Fyrlyts from me.
Did any of you buy a wiring kit, and if you did, which one was it?
Hope you are all happy with your purchase.
many thanks
Todd

I had all the wire I needed at home, so I just purchased a relay and custom made the leads. The only advice I can offer after doing all the wiring myself is soldering everything if you DIY or go the better option and buy a pre-made kit. Next time I'll just buy a kit. It seemed like a lot of effort to save a few dollars. Depends how much you like DIY...
Cheers.
A comment on "light force".
Depends on the useage. Found a very peed off customer who had travelled the Centre route to WA. Was up at Karijini. Both of his driving lights had sheared off at the base. Plastic had fatigue failed on corrugations at the base of the reflector moulding.
Others may comment???
Cheers

Same thing happened to a set of LR branded driving lights I found on the Simpson.Quote:

Light Farce as they are becoming commonly known have been having problems for a long time now with their composite.Quote:

From the material going a powder grey to outright failure as you observed.
Their earlier lights perform better, as they got bigger it seems they lost focus (pardon the pun) and changed things.
I can say that the Fyrlyts can take a direct hit in the lens from a roo head and not only not break the lens but stayed completely intact.
