IPF "Fatboy" globes

the Narva plus 50's work well in the Patrol (polycarb lenses and back) as they really disperse a lot on low beam which is where we needed the boost. Cibie Super Oscars fix high beam. LightForce 240's or XGT's would be even better.
The Narva globes are generally Osram's in my experience, and I haven't had a problem (yet) with my relays, which have been there 4 years, although I've noted Drivesafes warning from a previous thread. Actually had to use a switching relay recently on a customers job and Narva was the only one available quickly, so fingers crossed.

if it comes back with a problem.....at least you know where to look first.....

-IPFs most powerful H4 upgrade,suitable for standard wiring.
-Suitable for factory headlights with resin reflectors/lenses.
THE KILLER PART,$149 PAIR.
Are the Disco2(1999) globes H4???
Are these things road legal???
What are you guys running???(Intend ordering a Drivesafe upgrade next week)
I would say these would be perfect for country driving,no more diving into the dark when you hit low beam.

I run the fat boys in my 92 disco and they seem to run okay, I run hella 4000 spot lights so the extra low beam suited my needs. I would like to upgrade the lens and reflectors to a better unit to gain a real improvement.

ARB screwed up my lighting system when they fitted Bull-Bar, Winch, Snorkel and a Loom for Driving Lights.

Ended up I had worked with them through the night to finish it off. I was on the road to Whyalla the following day.

They threw in extras to me, including A new set of low/high beam Globes. Talk about bright. They retail for approx $150 a pair. Anyway I am happy with them.

Less Draw apparantly, but I have not tested this fact.

I have Been running them for over a week now. No Complaints.

Cheers.

I have a 96.5 V8 disco with standard wiring i have a custom 200amp bosch alternator winding and a exide N70 battery from this i run Standard Narva H4 90/130w headlights with no relays other than that which is standard factory fitting. I also have a set of IPF900 spot/drive combo running 130W H2 in each and when i go bush i have a set of Lightforce 240blitz that i mount on top of the nudge bar which i beleive are 130W also. The Driving lights both sets use a dual relay set up that comes ready made from Town and country at Roselands NSW and is designed to cope with powering a fridge and has the nice little mouse like IPF on off/isolation switch as an option. I went to this ready made set up when i burnt out two 30amp relays on the IPF's in a matter of weeks. I use my high beams and the IPFs most nights on the way home from work and have done so for at least 5 years and never had a problem with either the driving lights or the high beams they are very bright and give fantastic light spread and distance. The distance however nearly doubles with the use of the light force 240blitz. Although i am running the Narva 90/130 in the standard wiring loom i have never had a problem with this and find the light they spread to be much better than standard and certainly not dim or lacking.
By the way before i get the questions any decent auto elec can rewind and configure a 200W+ alternator for you. Heres a hint go to a auto elec that wears his hat backwards and specilizes in custom DUFF DUFF stereos he can even get a gold plated one for you.
Hope this helps some if not all of you.
