Opinions Needed....

[dtt255]

I need opinions. The ARB Bumper should be in any day now and I realized that I did NOT order any lights to go on the bar.

What are peoples options on this....Round or Rectangle?

I am thinking rectangle to keep with the same 'rectangle' theme..thoughts?

 

[uzj100]

I would vote for round!

 

[spressomon]

Round

 

[dtt255]

Wow....why round if I have rectangle lights everywhere else?

 

[dclee]

Round. But it's all just personal preference.

 

[Trunk Monkey]

Big and round.

 

[dclee]

Wow....why round if I have rectangle lights everywhere else?

I think, as guys, we just like big, round lamps...

 

[ShottsUZJ100]

Rectangular all the way............

 

[Trunk Monkey]

I guess it depends if you're just going for looks or function. All of the high output and HID lights are round, throw the most light, and have the widest selection.

Personally if I was buying a new set I would go for the Lightforce 240's with HID upgrade. Oh and there round.

 

[chimyz]

Round for sure!!!

Round = 8
Rectangle = Shotts

I am thinking of these:

IPF 900XS H.I.D.

thoughts?

 

[Trunk Monkey]

IPF's are good lights, I prefer Hella or Light Force.

 

[dclee]

I prefer certain Hellas (basically, 4000 series), but failing that my second choice would be IPF, then Lightforce. Cibie makes some good lights as well.

 

[Trunk Monkey]

Cibie makes some good lights as well.

IIRC, Cibie hadn't made aux. lights for years. They may still make replacement H1 and H4 lamps, but not stand alone lights.

Round....Hella 4000 Xenon's !!
Square o)...Hella 2100 Xenon's !!

Did you purchase the round IPF's that fit in with the marker lights inside the bar ?

 

[sdtash]

I think the IPF 900 XS HID would be a good light. I have IPF 940 SR fitted to my LC 200 with the ARB deluxe bar fitted. These lights came off my old LC 120 Prado GXL TD. As mentioned before if I was buying a new set I would definatley go with the Lightforce 240 HID 35W. Broader beam spread from the 247mm light, and lighter in weight.

Oh , and I have been told the Lightforce 240's will fit on the Deluxe bar.

Anyone ever hear the brand Marchal ? I think their logo was a cat...When my father got a 1980 Bronco I remember it had some Marchal fog lights as optional equipment..Just remember a black cats head on the light covers !!

Well, 'course, I haven't actually shopped for aux. lights in years...

But actually, they still make a number of aux driving and fog lamps, including the good old Super Oscar:
