Lightforce 170's are on! Time for a night run!!
Just got these mounted and wired up last night.
Of course I had to go with the factory switch:
They are so bright! They outshined the KC Daylighter 130watt lights my friend has. The adjustable focus is great also, I plan on getting the combo wide/spot filter to get the best of both worlds. Anyone know where to get a good price on these? I've found $14.95 for combo filter & $12.95 for standard colored filters.
So now the question is who's ready for Carvacre trail at night?

Price wise, I got mine for $187 (with free shipping) and yellow filters for $13/each from Central4WD (http://www.central4wd.com/store/brandlist.asp?ID=7167).
They're very nice lights.
(yes, I'll try to get some pictures)

Probably a dumb question... Can you use an existing 12v relay on those lamps? I guess I'm wondering if I can just swap lamps from an old set of Hella 500s.
My electrical knowledge is definately lacking!

You might wanna upgrade the wires to something a little thicker, though.

I haven't had any problems with it over heating. The temp gauge stays in the same position as always (not that it means anything). It ran fine all last summer.
