Bullbar and 600w of spots bolted on it . . . . . that should sort your lighting problem  :lol:

Assuming you want to stay with standard wiring and wattage then I would highly recommend Ring Ultra Xenon (about £10 for 2 x H4).
I have tried all sorts of wattages and colours and these really work dispite the slightly bling packaging :lol:

Personally I have high wattage bulbs and uprated wiring in the Disco along with auxiliary lights but then lights have always been my car fetish :shock:

I'll go with that . . . I've been using the Xenon lamps for a while and they are very good . . . . especially in the higher wattages.

They do a good job, and not so much a drain on the speaker (sorry lighting circuit) wiring on the motors :wink:

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

I've fitted uprated (80W I think) H7's as the main beam bulbs on mine, and changed the dipped beam H7's to the '50% brighter' xenon jobbies - the wiring/fuses and relays seem quite capable of coping with the 80W bulbs (although they are not street legal  :wink: )

For standard wattages (and fully legal)  I haven't found anything better than Philips Vision Plus bulbs... have tried numerous others, and these are much better!!

Work really well on both my parents Disco, and my 90.

Any bulb up to 99 watt is leagal on your main beam or driving lamps, though you can only have 6 lamps illuminated at any one time.
