    Default Spotlights for canter?

    Can anyone suggest a good set of spotties for a canter? I have an alloy bullbar and would also need brackets made.

    I recently bought a set of Rigid Industries Duallys, they throw out a fantastic amount of light.

    My previous fitted lights both suffered from broken lenses. Going by the abuse these can take, I'd hope they'd last a bit longer.



    A quick google shows they are available in Oz from a company called Snakeracing.

    Personally I like the IPF brand, from Japan. But if you can, going with a LED setup like Rigid industries, is now the best way to go.

    On my truck I run a set of Narva Extreme lights.
    I chose to have one spot and one spread beam light, but if I had the chance to make my choice again I would go with two spread beam lights. The mounts on these lights are very robust.
    My budget did not stretch to HID lights, but if you can justify the cost, the HIDs definitely have a nicer light output than a halogen light, which mine are.
    I agree with Alan that the Rigid Industry Dually's are a very nice light. The Dually D2 is even nicer! The price however is definitely on the high side, but that is the case for most high quality LED lights.

    I prefer the XGT but ended up with the Blitz
    HID's would be nice but at over a grand not what I consider value for money
    plus they look good and lets face it isnt that why most of us spend heaps on huge driving lights !!

    I just upgraded my Old Rally 4000s with a HID kit off Ebay, One of the best light upgrades I have done for a while
    Enjoy Life

    Hi Dave,

    Hella Rallye's with aftermarket HID kits...IIRC internal ballasts were a bit tight though. I like Skifreak's Narva's myself but Rallys would be my second choice......hey. Just an opinion too.

    I like that set up! Are they half spot half spread?
