What Spots.....?
« on: January 15, 2007, 21:07:37 »
I'm going to fit some spots to the bull bar of Turtle. (Turtle the Zuk)

The question is what ones?
I looked on eblag and there is loads, but what is good? what is crap?
I don't want to spend hundreds, just about £50-£75

I take it they must be fitted directly to the main beam?

So many questions hey... all advice welcome :lol:

My current combo of Wipac 5 1/2" and 100 watt bulbs is giving better light and spread than my dad's sportsline+'s or my old bosch 55watt lamps. They are iluminating a good 200 meters at a guess ahead of the landy. and all for 25 quid from my local landy parts man.

Wipac 4x4 will mount right to the bumper of a zook. Have the circuit diagram for a zook or seeing as I recall you are kinda local I'd do em for you if you wanted :) They will also fit the standart Zook bullbars with a quick mod to the bars.

They look big but they aint half work :)

I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

Thanks for the offer Evilgoat, thats real good of you, however sadly moved to Lincs now  :cry:

It looks like I'll go for the Wipac 4x4 as they seem good value and very strong.
