got wilpacs on mine on the front a bar and ring road runners as well fine the ring road runners give just a good light off as the wilpac ones. and have stood up to off roading just as well as the wilpac ones. but are a bit cheaper.

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

I've got the Wipac spots on the front of my car.
Their not bad lights, remembering they are only £40ish
If you could afford better, i'd personally go down that route.

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.

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 £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.

Don't know the make of the spots on the front but they are steel and work well (think they may be landrover) the roof lights are 2 fog and 2 spot all Ring and I've broke three laning  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:


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)
