I ordered both spot beams as well and they seem very spread?? they light a lot of the road up directly on front of the rig so I don't think I'll worry about the light bar.

I'll get them adjusted properly and make a better judgement after I've used them for a while.

Thanks again,

Hey Andy I think if you undo the base bolt you can rotate the base quarter turn to angle the lights better. Basically instead of it going side to side you make that part tilt forwarding back. Hard to eplain but have a look and you might get an idea of what I mean.

Because HID are so bright these days I don't worry about the spread beam and run two 9" spot'
If I require spread I just flick the 240 watt light bar. bummer they dont throw the light out further.

nq42gu just check the reflector is smooth all the way round and not stepped maybe they got your order wrong
Damn that is an ugly light 3dogs haha. also a lot of the 9" internal ballast spots don’t fit as they hit the grill

Thats a great idea 4bto ill have another go tonight.

They only cost me $50 each, plus I change lights all the time, these I've changed to 100 watt hid 6000k very bright.
still have 6 x 4' hids from the roof lying around after a brought the light bar. waiting on some bits at the moment for
another set I have. these pic may show difference between spot/spread
spread is left pic

your lights spread due to the lense the other lights have a flat clear lense and spread due to the reflector you can see the diffrence on the ebay photos

1st pic is a spot
4th pic is a spread

If you have the factory bar, you don't get much room for lights,thats for sure.
My bar is the T16 TJM outback and matching side steps

I have the factory steel bar, they fit no worries, they definitely both spot beams,

Ill have a muck around with them again tonight,

My other set of 9", lights adjust like yours, you'll find you can get them spot on.
they seem to sit on the ridge not in it from what I've found,
You'll figure it out,

You can never haver too much lights.
