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?

 

are those the HIDs? They're insanely expensive aren't they?

 

Can you take some pics and show how well they illuminate?

 

Yea, I too would like to see that.

 

Nope, they use 100 watt xenophot bulbs.

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)

 

how much did those run you if you dont mind me asking? and dont forget to update your profile!

 

I likey!!!!

 

Thank god I bought mine when I did, I got all 3 pairs of my 170's for 150$ ea... but then after that the price went up.

6 Lightforce 170's.... mmmm Bright..

You wont regret your purchase... I haven't yet.

 

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!

 

how do they compare to piaa 520s?

 

Looks great! Same light I want for my rig. Let us know what you think when you get the different filters.

 

Probably... just try it out. If anything, you'll just be out a relay ($5).

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

 

They look great, but 240's would have looked better:





You are going to love how well they perform.

Gawd! I had a passing thought about getting the 240's, but they're just HUGE!

(got any issues with getting airflow to the radiator? )

 

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.

Cool.. I was asking more tongue-in-cheek, but it's good to know.

 

outshine KC..? WOw..

 

Lookin good Rob!!

I'm gonna have to make a quick run down there just to check em out!!!! Shoot...

Btw, I'll be in SD next weekend (fri-mon). Doubt I"ll be able to go goof off though but I'll ask the better half and see what I can do about it

 

That's cool, we could do some of the close trails,Carvacre, Hanglider. Just set aside at least 2-3 hours, that should be easy enough. If we just do Hanglider only 1-1.5 hr needed. Let me know when you're getting here and we can hook up somewhere. I'm open for whenever you can go.

 

Oh yeah his disappeared once I turned mine on. They were also a bigger spot on the wall than his, even set on beam instead of fog pattern.
