    Nailed it New driving lights...which ones?

    Even when talking with the Fyrlyt boys we agreed for slower, winding work, the optimum is a light bar....

    Once in I will see if I need anything else and go from there.
    The new globes are in. Early testing looks very good but I need to adjust them properly and do a longer night run to get a sense of them.
    Certainly a heap more light now and the colour from the drivers seat seems very comfortable.

    Are the IPF fat boys still relevant? I used to run them in my old 4Runner with hella inserts and upgraded wiring harness. The light output was amazing just from the headlights. Add inthe the Cibie oscars ( rally lights not the larger super oscars) I was definitely not wanting for light output in front at night.

    Alway thought of running the another set of fat boys on my D2 when a bulb finally blows.

    Hope that helps.
    Thanks very much for those photos AK. They’re pretty similar, both spreads look pretty awful for low beam, dont they ? I’m thinking they’re the high beams, not the low ?

    the beam pattern is only a rough guide .. grey card was only about 1m from the headlight.
    On the road, the spread pattern is nice.

    my D1 has a high rear stance, so the light throw is lower than it could otherwise be, but considering the new LEDs probably better for oncoming traffic anyhow.

    .... didn't think to do a high beam comparison!

    Update...these are a vast improvement. Old Landy now has the best lights in the family. I drove the outlander from Wagga to home last night...felt like I needed a torch to see if the headlights were on. I have them set very low and have not had anyone flash me after a few hours of use. Might raise them a touch.
