Fog lights

[zukrider]

for those running the micro DE's, or any light for that matter. i have an issue at night with faded lines, as well as finding most any lines when its medium to heavy raining. any recommendations for improving this, staying legal, and not breaking the bank?

Get TRUE HID projector lights! Seriously, although I am new on the 'building serious off-road vehicles' side of things, I have an extensive background in performance cars. Go HERE (http://www.theretrofitsource.com/retrofit_examples.php) and have a look at the retrofit applications. The difference is simply astounding. I have a 600hp twin turbo road beast that turns night into day with four HID lamps. Don't stick an HID bulb into a different housing, do it the right way. You will see more of the wet road than ever. Although technically retrofit HID projectors may not meet legal requirements, I have never heard of a PROPERLY INSTALLED AND AIMED light (and not some horrific blue color, but WHITE light) get ticketed for not being legal. They just work but don' draw attention to you.

You can get legal HIDs too but not for foglights...
Hella 90mm lights are available in an HID version and they're exceptional.

Susquehanna Motorsports is putting together legal retrofit kits for vehicles with 7" round headlights. These will be legal to run in the US and Canada, bi-xenon flame-throwers.
contact Dave at Rallylights.com and ask or browse their website under headlight conversions.

I'll be testing their bi-halogen version soon. That will use a 65w H9 bulb @ 2100 lumen.

All,

I just installed a pair of Rigid Industries SRM2 lights on my zero turn mower. I chose to do this because of the > 100 degree days this summer. I went with the diffused lens (1050 lumens). Mowing at dusk is a breeze with these on. I highly recommed these.

I am curious to see what the Dually D2 are going to be like. I have these installed on my rig. I will post up some pics shortly. I am sold on Rigid Industries.

Regards,

BWJ

Has any one ever used the ones on ebay? http://www.ebay.com/itm/4x-24W-Watt-...item3f1a426407 Just a little worried about spending 160 on 4 lights and they are not bright enough.

24w each?
I wouldn't worry about them not being bright...
I'd worry about who made them, the heatsink, the basics of it. That's very inexpensive for that much light. Scary cheap.
It's certainly not legal to use on the road anywhere...

I just order the 27 watt version of those lights, they were rated at 2000 lumens. I put them in a front bumper that I am installing Thursday. I will take some pics and post them. You can buy them in a 5x5 square as well.

Who makes them? China sticker on them?

Don't waste your $ on anything sold/marketed as offroad lights.
For years I've been using what's sold at our local mom & pop parts store as ag implement lights; they come with the flood bulb in 4.5" rubber mounting cups (~$25) and then get the airplane landing spot light seal beam bulbs (Wagner#4509) to go in them (~$15).
This is the way to go...cheap, bright, & last forever! Had them on several vehicles.
Last time the local store was out so I ordered online, just Google Wagner 4509. I keep the floods in for when using on rear.

Any pictures yet?

Thoughts on the lights, are they bright?
