Roof Lights
« on: June 29, 2006, 06:48:15 PM »
Can anyone educate me??

What is the difference between driving lights, spot lights and fog lights??  :?

Looking at some procomp 100W rectangular jobs, i want 4 on the front of me new full length roofrack. anyone got any experience of these??

The lights are purely for offroad use only obviously...  :twisted:

Driving lights have a beam pattern which is similar to main beam headlights.

Fog lights have a short, flat fan shaped pattern.

Spots could be either:

Long range lights which have a long narrow beam

or floods which have a wide beam.

I wouldn't put fogs on the roof or floods.  Floods would be OK, but I'd recomend you painted ya bonnet matt black to stop any glare.

I'd have a look at the KC Daylighter sealed beam 150W ones if they are for off road only. :wink:

good info dodster, cheers mate.

Chris, offroad use only? My ass!  :lol:

We've just bought a barn out in the cuds (and i do mean in the cuds - it's pretty remote  :o ). I can imagine lots of driving in real heavy snow so want something that's gonna help in that situation...

Cheers jeeper, looks like driving lights might be the best bet...

Order placed with JCR for a front and rear bumper too  :D

Good choice. 8)

KC's come with a nice wiring kit (if you bought them as a kit that is).

They're easy enough to fit, the hardest part is finding a route for the cabling.

Yeah I thought that. I like the idea of having the swtiches in the little roof-cubby that's apparantly for a a remote garage door opener...

Thanks for the recommendation by the way chris  :wink:
