Roof Spot light recommendation ?

Hello,

I have the OEM driving lights on the nudge bar front, I want something to complement the look and is oem style for the roof. Currently I have the wiring for the 4 lights 55w x4.

I've always used Wipac lights, reasonably priced and they always put up with the abuse thrown at them - plus certain models can take 100W bulbs for extra light

Jumbo 220 , 10 inches wide . X4 is no probs . I just think 4 lamps up top is to busy , unless your driving a nice 40tonne scania or Volvo .

Just have a look at the forum pics of 4 lamps up top . Any beam that suits you .
Or you could go for a nice one piece rigid industries light bar .

I can't remember how i found the lights I had, I think i just typed "WIPAC driving lights" into ebay

I had the same set on my first two Defenders

As I said before a fantastic quality of light considering the low price. Easily 5 years of abuse on both Defenders and not a single issue - not even a blown bulb and I used them all the time

The other option are Hella, my Tomb Raider has 6 on it as standard

I found the light output was a bit disappointing though considering how much bigger they are than my last lights. I've recently fitted 100W bulbs to 4 of the directly forward-facing lights and that has improved things a bit - and gives the lights a blue tinge when off
