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

    Also make sure you use "real" cable when wiring lights - smaller wire will result in poor performance and lower output...

    understood Tombie, my eyes are not what they uised to be for night driving and now I am wearing glasses I find night driving very tiring.

    Any spotty would be better then OME LR driving lights I had fitted on the D3 when it was new. They are rubbish. I did install a custom wiring loom and double relay though along with "blue" 100w halogen globes which improved them.
    Still a rubbish light though.

    Tombie. What are Powerpoles. (no smart arse answers like big sticks along the road that hold up the wires please)

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Power poles are small Anderson type connectors in single pole units that can be clipped together.

    In SA the other type of "Power poles" are Stobbie poles

    Thanks Tombie. I know these well. These are what I use to connect my solar panels to the disco. I have known them as mini Anderson Plugs.
