I've got 4 KC slimlines on the front of the truck, driving and long range.  Have to say they are almost too bright (100W and 130W!).  I wouldn't have anything else, well made totally rebuildable with all parts available and cool lookin to boot.

Outback automotive are the place to go in the UK for um. :wink:

Bought mine from Matt Savage
Only problem I have had is with water getting into 'em but that was after it had been parked up to its bonnet in a lake for 40mins having hyraulic'd the motor   :oops:
Fine now they've been dried out and resealed, bar a little condensation
Rather fancy a bash at the 150W sealed units tho'...

KC are great but you can also buy 130/90 bulbs for your headlights, can be had from some rally type shops.  If you fit them you will need a relay in the circut.

That's what I've got on mine. Nice bit of kit too. Daylighters is an apt name for them.

They ARE BRIGHT :shock:
