I have the Driving Duallys - the Amber works very well in fog.
I personally do not like large spots so the discreete Duallys in the bumper look good.
I opted for the Duallys not the D2s as I wanted to use them on the highway and was advised that the D2s would be too bright with on comming traffic - neither are legal for highway use.
If I was looking for off road driving lights I would opt for D2s as more light is allways better.
My main headlights are IPF upgrades so are very bright for normal road use.

From the info on the website the "Dually hybrid spot" will give the longest range of the two and the D2's have the same width in driving and wide so driving would be the more logical choice.

looks really good the way you set up in the bumper just not sure if it would be high enough to cover the dunes. maybe a pair in the bumper like yours but with the D2 driving, will the amber improve visibility in the desert or would the clear bulbs give more coverage?? and if the lights are too low is it possible to fit a pair of driving duallys behind the grill? 2012 Fuji White 110 Flattened

Crying or Very sad Hope your insurance covers it....

Looks as though you just had enough room to duck especially if you were wearing a belt, that may have also restricted you!

Rough time at the moment but you'll get it sorted in the end and have a nice Landy again Thumbs Up

Thanks all. I was the only one in the vehicle and luckily no injuries. Ti-fat-man front badge was removed and only rear was changed. Only bits came off were windshield, alpine windows, rear view mirror and the glass in the side view mirrors. Defendoor actually stayed on as well. Biggest issue was refitting the tyres that had come off the rims as you can't easily jack a vehicle in soft sand especially when you have to dig around the tyre to be able to remove the rim and put it back on with an inflated tyre. Took a couple of hours and a few scares when the jack would start sinking and tilting in the sand even though the loadspace mat was folded twice over and had a carpet and recovery gear bag placed under it. Will try to get the police report re-done as it says accident happened in a "sandy area" which the insurance might not cover. I'll see if it can be changed to vehicle careened off the road flipping over onto sand on the side of the road Whistle 2012 Fuji White 110 Flattened
