Driving Lights

The XGT's may be a fairly good light off the shelf. I've recently seen 3 separate example of XGT & other Lightforce with the silver delaminating off the reflector after less than a years service.
I've also seen Cibie Super Oscar & even crappy ole Hellas with many years service still looking pristine on the reflector.

Mine are 2 yrs old, been completely underwater more than 4 times, still fine. same as the 18 other pr's that I bought for the crew..

I have heard of one set on outerlimits doing this, but turps' ones were 3 yrs old.

Lightforce sent him a new set - no questions, or reciepts required, and a replied paid parcelbox to send his old ones back in.. Cant ask better than that.

YMMV

2 or 3 years old..big deal. I'm talking Cibies about 10 years old ..and the Hellas older than that.
But then if ya got the money to spend and happy with planned obsolescence... go for it.
I'm still using a pair of Oscars on my fourbie (not the plastic backed Super oscar) that were originally fitted to my Round Australia Rally car in August 1979, and they've been used continuously since then- there is slight 'matting' (but no delamination) of the original reflector. And yes, they have been submerged on quite a number of occasions!!!!

Planned obsolescence?? LMAO... Too many shandys dude.

You can assure me every set of Lforces wont be going in 10 yrs time?
Didnt think so...

You can assure me every set of Super Os will be going in 10 yrs time?
Didnt think so...

Your point? That every single individual light, of every model light of every make is not the same, isnt that what you really mean? Some may last 100 yrs, some may last 1 yr? Correct.. you are right on that statement.

I've also seen Hella 2000/4000s, Super O's, Narvas that are black inside the reflective material well inside 5 yrs.. My hella 181s for example....

Ive also seen 2 4bs roll completely onto Lightforce lights, roll the car onto wheels, straighten up the lights and drive off... One set have been buried 2 times.

I'll also have my 240's against super o's in the bush anyday.. night run up toolangi, the only lights that were better than any of the 240's were aircraft landing lights on some dudes 80 series and 1 set of predators.

Not the ones that were in dynamite jack murrays rally car 40000 yrs ago either.

Hook...line & sinker

I know this thread is a few days old but I just had to point something out to you.

It would be advisable to upgrade your wiring loom fairly quickly, because the dipper switch in you car will not last very long with high wattage globes in your headlights. Dipper switches are not cheap.

Happy driving.
