Where is the best place to pick up quality spotlights from for a reasonable price? Do they usually come with wiring loom and relay? I can get a complete loom set up for $55 from nissan (for my gq). Should i buy this and get spoties somewhere else, what is the go. Andrew..

Andrew it really depends on what sort of spotlights you want and need for the type of driving you do.
If you do a lot of 4WD off road, you need something really decent that will not break.
My personal choice is the Hella ones, because the quality is great, many of their lights are made in Australia or New Zealand and you can get anything for them in the way of spares at a reasonable price if you break a lens.
Check out the prices and availability and also your local auto electrician. If there is not much required to actually mount the lights, a local auto electrician if you buy the lights from him does them for $40.00 installation. The auto electricians know which lights are good and which lights break.

Andrew,
Have found both Hella and Lightforce to be good, though none of their parts are cheap. The best investment for bush work is a set of clear covers to suit, stops most rocks and last for a couple of years. Currently running Hella 4000's on our wagon, best designed light I've ever bought, with light output to suit my failing eyesight. If I still enjoyed night driving, would invest in set of Hella Predators, or their equivalents. Just brilliant, but EXPENSIVE. See ya...
