Post by: thermidorthelobster on October 14, 2007, 11:06:40: 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.

Post by: Jake on October 14, 2007, 11:17:23: 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:

BTW are the side lights on the roof bar legal as we have allways wanted them up there!
Title: how many lights on the front of your truck
Post by: madmatt 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.

(http://i20.servimg.com/u/f20/11/29/53/55/th/dscf0710.jpg)

Post by: Range Rover Blues 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 :wink:
