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

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

Thanks Landygrl
I am sure he will love them.
Don't forget to pass on my number if someone is jealous of his lights and wants a pair.
cheers

I gave him the lights yesterday and he loved them! Thanks everyone

Also, I actually told a little lie. The lights were for my boyfriend as a surprise group 30th present. I had to pretend they were for my dad as my bf is a member of aulro (Judo) ..couldn't have him accidentally discovering his present!

I'll have him post a review of his experience with them after we use them on the road

Thats excellent Landygrl (and quite cunning )

Just make sure he uses the correct diameter cabling and doesn't skimp or use old existing wiring.

To make these things really shine, you want the optimum wiring with minimal voltage drop.

Make sure that he "RTFM" the paper that came in the box about wiring size and install....

What a good weekend I've had! Thanks for providing all the great advice to my cunning girlfriend everyone.

The FYRLYT lights look amazing and I can't wait to wire them up!

I guess the only choice left is where to mount them... We have an ARB bullbar with a winch that provides a few options but I'm tempted to say on the top rail so they're not in the way of the radiator airflow... Where does everyone else mount them?

Agreed on everyone comments regarding correct wire gauge. I'll definitely use 6mm as recommended in the instructions that came with them.

P.S. I even had a surprise cake with a Landy on it!! If I have a good pic, I'll post it.

congrat on your 30th I have recently thrown a surprise for my partners 40th he had a copy of his 90 on his cake too

Even has alpine windows.

Judo, my advise is not to fit them above the bar, apart from leaving the lights highly vunerable, it's illegal. I raised the centre of my bar to fit the lights in, the bonus being that the bar was no longer obscured by the bonnet.
