Driving lights upto $250.00-Budget

I had a pair of super oscars for about 10 years on the old Disco. They were a reasonable light, but over the years the reflectors discoloured and the rivets holding the mounting plates to the body of the lights shook loose and they were stuffed. 10 years is not too bad I guess, but this time I went for something a little more 'waterproof'....IPF Extremes, but from memory they are about $350. If you can get the Super Oscars or any other 'brand-name' light for $250, buy them.

Also try Lightforce. Even the ?170's may come in about that.

Cheers,

Mark

I would give the thumbs up to the Narva 175 and pocket the savings. You have not stated how much night driving you do or where you do it however.........they are a very reasonably priced kit, no one will steal them (so far) and they have wank factor zero (he he.)

I have Narva's 175's on mine & use them a lot out West & value for money they are a good light. I have merged my Lightforce SL 240 hand held spotlight into their beams & there is bugger all difference.

I have the Nite Stalker 200 series. Paid about $150 ish. Great value for $$. Only mistake i made was getting the spread/spot combo instead of 2 spots.

Should have added-I had the expensive adjustable head supports on both lights which should have made them even more rigid and I still lost them.

i agree about the rivets, i replaced mine with small nylocks and bolts.
had them on for around 150.000ks with no problems.
cheers shane.

I was amazed with mine. The actual metal in the bracket had sheared off. Rivets could have gone first which then allowed movement? I don't know, First I saw was no spots and then the hanging wires and broken brackets. If anyone has been driving along the Gibb River Rd and has picked up a couple of Cibies on the side of the Rd------- you can keep them. I wont use Cibies again. But in fairness to Cibie, others experience has been different. The Gibb River was b rough that crossing.
