Two headlights, two built-in foglights :(

I keep feeling some urge to put spotlights on the roofrack, but it's totally irrational as I very seldom drive off-road at night. I think it must be a man thing.

Just 2 juiced up Td5 head lights for me at the moment
Funny, the 2 head lights are brighter than my previous head lights and 4 roof spots were.
I will be fitting a pair of spots at some point.
The only problem is, i'll have to buy some really special ones to be brighter than my head lights
:twisted:

Awesome mate, lets us see it at night with the lights on.

BTW are the side lights on the roof bar legal as we have allways wanted them up there!

madmatt · « **Reply #13 on:** October 14, 2007, 16:59:33 »

If I can be bothered I'll go out later and take a pic in dark, As far as I know roof markers are legal, The ford tranny has them and look at the amount of Artic units with kelsa bars with sidelights around the roof. I'm wanting to put side lights in the roof mounted spots now.

Yes of course. Well we love the idea of them. We have some orange markers on the side of the Disco which I forgot to add, they look really good.

madmatt · « **Reply #15 on:** October 14, 2007, 17:04:40 »

I have orange markers down the length of the ifor trailer to match the 130!

Where's dreadnought anyway all this light talk and he's not shown his face yet!

hello,
at the moment i have 2 wipacs and two big rectangle lights on the roof rack

but i have a amber led flashing system planned with three flasher units on the back and two on the front, two smaller spots on the roof rack that point sort of diagonally fowards/sideways to see what is round corners in the dark,

Range Rover Blues · « **Reply #28 on:** October 16, 2007, 01:57:39 »

Just so you know it's not legal to illuminate more than 6 lamps on the front of your vehicle at any one time.

It's also not legal to have more than one pair of dipped beams.

Oh, and fog lights can only be used when visibility falls below 100m, but then you all knew that
