Which Driving Lamps ?

Giantswood · Dec 6, 2014

Santa has promised me some Driving/Spot Lamps this year and I want to make sure he brings decent ones

seen these on Fleabay PAIR OF 12V/24V 9" ROUND SPOT/DRIVING/BAR LAMPS/LIGHTS TRUCK/LORRY/4X4/OFF ROAD | eBay

opinions/observations welcome, or alternatives. I'm intending bumper mounting them.

Cheers

Out performs anything ive seen/had for the same price, really is a good bit of kit..

Interesting but would it be road legal ?

I don't think it really matters. Have seen the rest of my wagon? I doubt half of it is road legal I couldn't care less

Bit like comparing apples and oranges !
Those 9 inch spots look OK will give you a good supplement to your high beam . Legally you have to rely on your headlamps for dip 1 pair only . It might be if your dip beams arent that good , that its better to fit a good pair of headlamps , eg Hella H4 , and check that you are getting a good voltage at the headlights , by relaying . JMHO

To be honest, when it comes to driving lamps I prefer "cheap and cheerful".
They're out on the front of the vehicle and often the first bit of kit to be damaged in the smallest of front end shunts and they're often outside of any security on the vehicle which means that the local villains will have an easier run at them.
As long as they light up as they're supposed to then that's OK with me.

I like the look of that. I am stuck with 6" max lights due to my winch, that would fit nicely. What is the light travel like? As good as small 55watt spotties?

The photo really doesn't do any justice but this just the 12" bar on its own

Really does out perform any halogen spot light ive used.

Cheers for all the comments/suggestions guys, thinking I may try H1 LED bulbs in the 9" lamps

that's quite impressive.

I have 4 Ring Roadrunner spots on my roof bar and they pack a huge punch but the power they require is noticeable. they come as rectangle or round for around £20 a pair. I have 4 driving lights but they do a fog aswell so I'm thinking of trying a pair of fog ones with my 4 spots as a flood/spot setup

That 12" cree bar draws nothing near enough.
