only problem with the road runners is they dont have a face guard on them do they?

chances are mine will be bashed a fair old bit with some of the courses down here in plymouth

Their not bad lights, remembering they are only Â£40ish
If you could afford better, i'd personally go down that route.

Post by: stuntman on December 26, 2007, 21:35:49: I went the Wipac way as they were cheap to buy and to replace.

I upgraded the bulbs which was vast improvement, make sure you use thicker than recomended cabling if you upgrading the lights.

Post by: andrew2986 on December 27, 2007, 12:57:25: Hiya,
I used to use wipac's and upgraded them to hid and they were stunning and cheap.
I use KC's now and am very happy with them. (about Â£45 each) they are well strong and take loads of knocks, and have now converted them to HID, beam quality is very good, and you have a choice of beam shapes going from flood right the way through to very long range.
All the parts are also available if you do have an accident.

I just buy all the ring lights I can find at car boots for a quid each and keep them until needed :lol:

They are cheap but as I drive slow offroad I don't need to see into the next county 8)
