    Headlight Upgrade for a Land Rover Defender

    Great feedback, Virgil. I was approaching the upgrade as a nice to have but you made it clear it is a must. I'll contact Stern about the Koito's. Do you have any other 7" Hi/Lo options you recommend I consider?

    Headlight Upgrade for a Land Rover Defender

    My son is in the last stages of importing a Land Rover Defender from Australia. (For those interested, it is a '93 110 4dr RHD diesel 5 speed that he is bringing to Oregon through an outfit that specializes in such Imports - austousa.com.) This will be used for commuting to work on a range of...

    Aiming Auxiliary Driving Lights Cross-eyed

    I have read here of Virgil's recommendation of aiming auxiliary driving lights (or dedicated high beams) in a slight cross-eyed fashion. If you were to follow this approach, what distance would you choose for the two beams to converge?

    Auxiliary Light Support

    If mounting a large auxiliary lamp such as a Cibie Super Oscar or Hella Rallye 4000 to a solid base mount, is there any benefit to adding a rear strut support? The vehicle is a full size 4wd pickup with a fairly firm suspension.

    Overwattage H2 Bulb in a Halogen Fog Light

    I am about to mount a pair of Cibie 175 Fog lights on my pickup and need to buy the H2 bulbs. Narva has both 55 watt and 100 watt bulbs. I'm sure there would be shorter life on the 100 watt bulbs but I would rarely have the fogs on so that wouldn't concern me. Are there other down sides to the...

    Cibie Oscars vs Hella Rallye 4000 - Which are more durable?

    What is the part number for the Cibie (Valeo) convex high beams? I found 082369 but I think that might be the flat lens number.

    Cibie Oscars vs Hella Rallye 4000 - Which are more durable?

    One other thing about the Cibie H1 high beams in a Grote housing. Unless I'm missing something, I can get the Cibies for $76USD each and the housing for $22USD each. The Hella Rallye 4000 Eurobeam goes for about $100USD each. So both options cost the same. Do you still think the Cibies are the...

    Cibie Oscars vs Hella Rallye 4000 - Which are more durable?

    Thanks, Virgil. I have read that thread and considered the approach of the Cibie H1 high beams mounted in a Grote housing. I wasn't sure how the reach and spread would compare with an Oscar + driving beam. If I was to pusue the H1's, I'd like your opinion; if you were to do this on your own...

    Cibie Oscars vs Hella Rallye 4000 - Which are more durable?

    I am adding auxiliary driving lights to my pickup for improved high beam seeing on country roads. I'm most likely going with a pair of Cibie Oscars (or the plus or super versions) or Hella Rallye 4000s. My question has to do with the longevity of the reflective coating. I've seen used Cibies...

    Dave, You gave me great advice a few weeks ago about a red LED module for my son's night navigation exercizes in ROTC. I got him one of your Cree XPE red modules with a smooth reflector, a Solarforce L2P, and an 18650 Li-ion rechargeable. He used it for the first time last night and had to call...

    Bright 2-AA for Land Navigation using red filter

    After doing more research, I discovered that a white LED produces very little light in the red spectrum. Using a red filter simply blocks all but the red light, leaving a very dim output. For this reason, I'm now considering using a Solarforce L2P as a host and installing a red LED drop-in from...

    Sold/Expired P60 modules -warm, neutral, cool white/XRE-XPE-XPG-XML-U3 / NICHIA 92CRI PART 11

    Dave, I am preparing to put together a small flashlight for my son's Army ROTC nighttime exercizes where he needs to find reflective markers in a land navigation course. By the rules, he must use only red lights. He uses a white LED headlamp with a red filter to make his way through the woods...

    Bright 2-AA for Land Navigation using red filter

    My son needs a small flashlight with good throw for nighttime land navigation exercizes in the Army. He must use a red light by the rules. He uses a headlamp to work his way through the woods but once close, he needs a much brighter light, with good throw, to pick up the markers. Ruggedness is...
