Looking for a new set of quality spot lights

[whastie]

O.K. Thanks to all who contributed. More than enough for me to get my tiny little mind around. But seriously, thanks for the input - I'll need to go through it all and make a decision (TAKING INTO ACCOUNT budget constraints).

.....and of course how often you use them Vs cost

A mid range (in cost) LED light bar!! Simply awesome!

[Winnie]

Yeah I reckon if you spend money on spotlights now and then see what a light bar can do you'd be seriously disappointed. I know I was. Spent about $600 on my HID lights and then saw a $400 LED light bar which absolutely smashed them on light output!

If you're happy and you know it tap a post!

FYRLYT these lights are extremely well made and have the ability to be a spot or a spread beam and around the $650-$700 mark, these lights are the ducks nuts!

I'm about to rip my light bar off. It's a great quality bar but there are eBay HIDs (chinese bulbs and ballasts) and there are OEM HIDs. Compare a Light bar to genuine Denso ballasts boosted to 100 watts running Osram CBI 5000K bulbs in some XGTs then you will know what a real HID can do. They put every other HID on the market here and anywhere else to shame. They only take 2 to 3 seconds to warm up too.

The set up is still cheaper then a lot of light bars too. The down side is the size of a true 100 watt ballast is nearly twice the size of those Chinese 70 watt ballasts listed as 100 watts and they have ATV fans sitting on top to keep them cool.

Cheers Mick.

I have lightforce 240 xgts on the v8 cruiser and there great but my $150 hid spottys off ebay on the patrol have taken a hounding and never missed a beat and the light isnt to bad distance wise either

I've been tempted to get a set of the 7" Chinese ones off ebay, are they worth it for like 130$ish ? I don't have much money to spend and anything on my lights at the moment is an improvement

Have a look at the HID videos under our vendor thread mate - we compare one I ours v 2 of those Chinese numbers and the results speak for themselves ... let alone the awful mounts and build quality of the eBay lights ...

But fully appreciate there are budgets at play (we do lay by as a side note), so try at least to get the best you can afford as you may regret it later if not.

Best if luck with it either way mate.

Thanks Scotty!
Appreciate the help mate! I will check out the thread and have a look, I agree it's worth buying quality things straight up but yea wasn't sure how well they would hold up if I bought two pairs etc.
thanks mate
