if only getting one pair of lights, go for one spot and one spread, works well with the spot on the drivers side and the spread covering the sides.Moo... everyone knows what a Jackaroo looks like :-)

Of course you could get some Lightforces and change them to your hearts content. . . .

But if you dont . . . . one of each

Groove replied:

I've always been told one of each!

Ditto the above.
I've had a matched pair of 2000's for donkeys years. Great lights but heavy suckers .... be sure to use the ss top bracket.You're only as old as she feels

I've got 4000 and i'm not disappointed but,
I now wish I had got both spreads and not one of each.
I say this as the wide beams give a long distance - so far that one would have easy stopping time but also have the sides brighter.

just my opinion Wow! am I cute

I use a pair of floods..... One points left in the bushes and one points right in the other bushes and a 240 lightforce which is ½ flood and ½ spot in the middle to keep an eye on what is sitting in the middle of the road....It is illegal to have odd sets of lights on the car.... They have to in pairs to be legal but you would be hard pressed to get done if you are not being stupid with them..._____________________________________________

I also have the 4000 and very happy with them.
Solid construction, they have been on the prado for almost 3 years with no probs.
One of each does a great job
cheers

I have only ever run spots. I set up the drivers side to cover the oassenger side and the passenger side to cover the drivers side. If you can afford it then get the third for down the track. I have lived in the NT for most of my life and find we only really look for the big objects so it works well. Might be a different story where you come from. Just an idea. I have used the hella 140's, they are cheap and offer good light source in the spot. Big is better and as far as I'm concerned you can never have too much light. Just be wary of the poor buggers coming the other way.

I've got 4000s, one of each, the combination works well for me!

Hilly replied:

My preference has always been for 2 spots. I prefer to look for movement further away but I also cross the beams a little to show the sides further forward on the road.

It works for me.

I had one of each with my rally 2000's wish I would have had 2 pencils...

Your other option is 2 Pencils on top of the bar, shine the road, and 2 of something like Hella 181's on the lower section of the bar to shine the sides and directly on the road.

Thats what Im doing again now.. I had 4 lights before, BRILLIANT... but using lightforce 240's and 181's. You cant beat 4 lights.

Willem replied:

I don't really go fast enough to warrant spotties but this single illegal Hella Bulllight does the trick with a pencil light and a bit on the side for skippys and scrubbers and wooly nags and a half a mile vantage down the road. Works OK for me.

I too have a pair of Rallye 4000's (1 spot, 1 spread) and ain't in a hurry to swap 'em for anything else.. Mine are switched independantly of each other (thru the hi beam, of course), so I can have either or both on.. Most of the time I just use the spread beam, as I find that the pencil beam is, well, too "concentrated"..
I mean, you can only see as far as the next corner anyway, right?
Also, if there is any mist, or dust haze in the air, then it's just way too bright, & reflects off the haze...
You will find that these Rallye 4000 spread beams are pretty good distance-wise anyway (giving virtually full coverage), & if doing it again, I would go for 2 spreads... JMO..
