Thread: Which driving lights should I buy for my dad? Off road use. Lightforce, Hella, etc?

Maybe you are right. I thought these were quite a bit cheaper than the 150W though?

FYRLYT 200 12V Special Outdoor Auto

Yes. The lights are all identical except for the globes. I picked up a set of 24v FyrLyts because of the exceptional price, and spent another $11.60 each on Osram/FyrLyt 12V150W bulbs at Alanco. PN: GLO-16042

It's a new globe, so the first two counter staff I spoke to insisted it didn't exist even though it turned out they had them in stock in the store room.

I sell the Fyrlyts at work and will do any AULRO member a super deal.
I am in the western suburbs of Melbourne but can send them anywhere at extra cost.
I doubt anyone will find a better deal on these lights.
12 or 24 volt 150watt Xenophot globe.

Feel free to call me on 03 9360 9922 and ask for Todd.


I just sold my last set and will have some more Friday!

Thanks to everyone for all their help!

I have decided to purchase the fyrlyts and a few spare globes in case of emergencies. I definitely recommend that anyone who is keen on purchasing a pair speak to Todd - he's offering them at a crazy low price!!

I'll post feedback on how they perform after they've been gifted and he's been on a trip or two with them installed

Thats great LandyGirl...

Just remember to wire them using decent gauge wire...
Thin wire wont allow them to work at their optimum.

And don't just trust Auto Elecs either - some will still under size cable.

He's going to love your gift...

Lots of dust into them


BUT Great bulb - They are a IR bulb, which super heats the element to provide more lumen per watt.

I've got the "Extreme sport" version with the water/dust proof inserts, they take a H9 bulb, not the regular 900's which take a H3.... as far as I know the H9's arent the HIR type

as for poor finish, 3 years into owning them I noticed that the paint had lost its clear coat across the top, but they still look fine otherwise, I know my rallye 4000's went chalky within 6 months
