I'd like to see the others that have had these problems. I think your the first I've heard that seems to hate them so much.

Not an issue that I have ever had.

Where do I work guys?!
They vibrate to bits, rust, the finish is poor and the lenses take one rock strike and they're stuffed.
Their output is poor for their size.
The leak dust in..

They are no longer supplied to our vehicles...

Note - we are talking 4000s here..

I have had my 4000's for about 7 years. No lens breakage, no dust leakage, no vibrating to bits.

My brother drives interstate. Everything from wool from farms in northern NSW to bricks out of Brisbane. His would be about the same vintage. He moves them from truck to truck.


My latest set is a set of 4000 compacts on my Skoda Yeti. There's so much light with the HID conversions I'm considering just running the compacts on the Disco as well. The smaller light will block less air to the radiator which is handy up here.


Happy days.

I've been involved with several sets of Rally 4000's on work utes, every one of the damn things has been a PITA to adjust (or keep adjusted) untill i replaced those stupid thumbscrews with M8 stainless bolts.... tighten them up with a spanner instead of wrestling with an allen key, and bobs your auntie

the screws holding the lens ring in place? ended up gooing them into place with butyl mastic....

as for the glass lenses..... thats why i have clear covers.....

Thanks for your comments Sprint, glad in not the only one who has seen issues.
You went a long way to sort yours - I just binned the work ones and replaced...

Clear covers reduce the light output by a decent margin...
Kind if defeats the purpose!!!

Well let me know what you want to pay for a Brand New In box set of compacts that never made it to a vehicle...
