We can use this thread to document actual performance of various off-road/driving/fog lights out there to help others decide on which product to buy.

A member here asked me to provide pictures showing the light output of my driving lights, the Lightforce 240s.

Lo-Beams only

The Lights




These pictures were taken on the top of my truck just in front of the sunroof. They don't do the lights the best justice, they look brighter and better in person, but this gives you an idea of their perfromance.

even being unaimed, my kc daylighters really do make the road surface look as it would in daylight!

reserving this spot for my pictures.

I have Hella Rallye 1000 Black Magic and boy do those things light up the road, we here at Belize Off Road figure it nearly doubles the lenght of the high beams.

This thread is just full of posts by people saying they will post photos and never did. Here is a video I took of mine, for a thread exactly like this.

nice video Steve
off topic did you catch any of the games?
I had a set of el cheapo CT driving lights on my old truck aimed using same method as headlights and they worked great I could light a stop sign at about 3 kms. but had no problems blinding other drivers.

Games for what?

I got my 2 hella 500s and they are aimed down too far, but that means I can use them during normal driving...I drilled the holes to close to the grill!

The Canada Winter Games dude...
the national version of the winter olympics...

just get 2 flat recutangular pieces of metal and extend the light out a couple inches. I used an l bracket on the front bumper mount bolt to try out some mounting ideas.

Scofco

Ohhhhh, THAAAAAT games. No, I didn't see any of it.

I got two sets of PIAA 520's, one pair with the Xtreme White bulb package. Both pairs are on my surco, and when pointed straight, it seems like it's daylight, yet, the price was a b****, near 500 for all 4 when it was all said and done.
