Anyone had experience with Stedi products? Good, bad or indifferent?
I'm thinking of bringing our Patrol out of the dark ages. I tried you beaut halogen H4's & they were a waste of time. Have checked the wiring loom for voltage drop & got the same reading at the globe connector as I got at the battery. The headlight reflectors look pretty good - but the lights are awful. We very rarely drive at night but on the odd ocasions that we have (eg. Through the Millstream Chichester NP) a candle would have been almost as good. It was so bad we couldn't read the NP road signs. Several times we had to pull up, take a torch & walk back to check what the sign said! We do have a couple of halogen driving lights, (but on that occasion one of the globes had blown).
Am thinking of trying the Stedi Copper Head LED conversion for the factory headlights, plus a 27.5" single row 3301 light bar. If we need to use the light bar it will be off the bitumen & thus near, mid distance & sideways lighting will be far more important than a ultra long distance light throw.
