HID driving lights

Thanks Allan. I note the review on the Delonix website refers to the lack of a fine adjustment up & down is a con. You didn't see that as a problem?

Hi Paul, I cannot find the review you refer tp but can guess about it.

The mounting base incorporates matching curved toothed surfaces for tilt adjustment. The teeth prevent the lamp from slipping from the set position. When I saw these I was concerned that my desired position may fall between the incremental teeth positions however this was not the case. It may be a problem with a pencil beam but not here where the spread is greater. I notice that this mounting method is used on at least a couple of other lamps I have looked at.

I figured that if it was a problem then it could be overcome by inserting a shim under the front or rear of the mount, or fitting a rubber pad between the toothed faces. There was no reference in the documents to compensating for any incremental error in adjustment.

So no, it was not a problem for me. In fact I am pleased at the non-slip feature of the mount.

Incidentally, these lamps replaced my Cibie Super Oscars which were pencil beam. Their mass caused them to vibrate making the beam "dance" and reflective road signs became blinding. They provided no light to the road verges......I had reason to drive the Fraser Island beach one night and could only guess where the water's edge was. Also, at 220mm diameter, I felt that they were obstructing air flow to the radiator. Now they sit on the shelf, any takers?

have a look here, a lot cheaper than in OZ

I have done the same as GimmeeIsolation and converted my IPF's to HID the only difference is that I have kept my pencil beams but my head lights are also HID so I have the long distance as well as the spread from the head lights all up my entire conversion for both my head lights which are still high low and spoties was less that $250 off of ebay, I also do a lot of bush driving at night and since fitting the HIDs the roos do seem to turn away

If they were the Nitestalker 170s then i think around $350 was RRP.

The 200s were around the $450 mark i think.

Well worth it. They arent the best lights available but are great value for money. The halogen 170s are probably the best value lights available under $300, with HID they become as good as any halogen light.

I had 4x Nitestalker 170s converted to 55w HID on my sportbars, with 2 Hella 4000 70w HID wide cornering beams and 1x Hella 4000 euro beam 70w HID on the bullbar.

It was a pleasure to drive at night. Animals didnt dare walk onto the road for fear of being permanently blinded.

Have gone a different way now, with a 26" 10w LED lightbar and thinking of 3x Hella 4000 70w HID spots.

I do long distances at night, through country littered with big roos, camels, emus, cattle, horses, goats and wicked vans. So i like to see whats around, plus with HID your eyes just never feel strained.
