Another big plus is it looks like a rally car now
Good to see they work well as been looking at a set myself. |

9" wide beam option without position lights.
1200 lumens and 500m range claimed in this configuration. Can certainly believe the figures judging by the quick drive i managed this evening. |

Hello Flyingfocrs
Nice...how did you do the wiring... 
Open Bonnet shot appears to show a wiring loom 'in waiting' Cibie, Generic or an-other... Extra Driving Lights...my research continues...  SKIP

I got the lights from Germany, however i won't plug or recommend the seller, after 2 weeks contacted them and was told they hadn't sent them out as they were not compatible with my vehicle and they needed my VIN number to source an alternative!
Asked why if this was an issue they hadn't been in touch with me, refused to give my VIN as they are a universal fit product not vehicle specific and told them to supply what I had ordered and not an alternative. Finally got the lights after 4 weeks. Wiring loom is from Landreiziger, not the cheapest but comes with the dash mounted switch which is £50-60 on it's own. Clear instructions, good quality and fits perfectly, same as the headlight loom from them that i fitted previously.

Problem now is the ones on the mk2 will look poor now compared to these ones lol Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  |

Excuse my ignorance of driving/spot lights but you mentioned a dash switch for these so how are they switched on - independently of headlight main beam or only with/by main beam?
They look fantastic IMO |

The dash switch gives you the option of switching them on or off, wiring loom has a relay so they work through the normal main beam stalk on the column when switched on.

Thanks Flyingfocrs
MK2 Escort with Cibie's north of the border...make complete sense...
I'll look more closely at your set up... Your right about LR's 'Fog / Spotlight' Switch... Mad Money
Best found so far is: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-YUG000...oCUPTw_wcB Click image to enlarge All I have currently is a SS Bar and some SS Brackets 1/2 made...I also have AC and don't want to go down the soft A Bar route to mount extra lights. Lightforce are currently planed, but I too had some Cibie's fitted to a previous car, that came from my Father 175K Miles with No Issues, No leaks and No Bulb changes...

Will buy the LF Wiring Loom Kit if opting for these lights SKIP https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic83242.html |

The complete loom from landreizeger complete with the switch is about £70 so it's a good deal really when you think how much the switch is alone.
An option for you might be the clamp type mount that will secure around your stainless bar and the lights mount to it. The only issue is how deep are the lights. Took a few measurements before making these brackets. Might now though try a mk2 version of them later on. Refine them a little bit. |
