Thread: 4WD HID driving lights

Hi all, I'm looking at getting a set of HID lights to go on the front of the ute but I'm not sure if I should go for one spot and one flood or both spots.
What set ups do you guys have and are the new Led light bars any good or is the HID technology still miles ahead?
Cheers Possum

Main headlights or auxiliary lights?

Aux

iv got a pair of 55w HID spots on the front of my ute and theyre awesome and pretty cheap. only problem iv had is the bulbs seem to blow with all the rough driving i do but theyre cheap enough to replace.

Replaced my main headlights - candle powered halogens with hids (globe,bulb,psu) Enormous difference.
Not as good as my factory Disco 3 lights but you get what you pay.

Cheers guys good to know. Yeah I'm looking at getting 4" 55 watt spots as well. I think I'll go for one spot and one flood though. Silent are yours both spots?

I had 1 flood and 1 spot on my truck. Swapped the flood for another spot as the spill was decent enough to not need a flood.
Had better longer range lighting after putting 2nd spotty on as well.

Best advise in fitting any sort of lighting, is to use really good wiring and connectors. Don't get the thinnest cheapest wire you can, get decent thick stuff that is more than required.

+1
high beam is plenty of spill,double spot for extra range.

yeah both spots, i cross them up for when im driving down country roads, they light up the country side pretty well

The only problem with them is those bloody great signs TransitNZ insists on putting everywhere to let you know the road takes a slight curve.
I have to flick off the spots on windy bits just too dazzeling with all the signage.

no signs where i drive, just rogue deer which seem to be mesmerised by them haha
