Thread: Got some new spotlights

I recently picked up a nudge bar for my Hilux for $70 which I didn't think was bad. What made it even better was I got a set of spotlights with them for free ($150+GST worth from what Hella say the RRP is).



So my old man hooked them up to my high beams for me (while wiring in my new 139dB air horn ). They're Hella Comet 500's, and they're only running 55w bulbs, but they work bloody well.

They're a narrow beam... which means I have awesome high beams, but I was kind of wanting more wide angle work lights for driving around on farms at night. My old man has a set of Hella worklights on his surf and they're awesome, but not as bright as this.

After actually having them out on the farm last night I reckon they'll do the trick. They spread enough light out the sides to be able to see what's going on around me.



This pic doesn't tell you much... but on a dark country road these light up the whole road really brightly for a good 500 meters or so. Those trees in the back of the pic are another two paddocks down past the gate, and the gate is a good 100m away.



The next poor bastard that doesn't dip his lights coming towards me is gonna get free laser eye surgery
