Hi all, wondering if I can pick your brains. I'm in the market for some
driving lights and the local auto one has Narva Ultima 175's for $129 a kit (broad, pencil or combo). We're on a bit of a budget and $300+ for a set of lights would be out of the question. Any comments re. lights and price would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Paul

Hi Paul, I have some Nite Stalker 200 series combo's which were recomended to me by a few people on this
forum. Supa-Cheap were able to supply me with these for $160. TJM wanted $230 lol.They have the facility to add anti vibration mounts and believe me they are very very
bright. (much better than the crappy Hella's i had) You will probably get a few telling you to save the $ until you can get the Lightforces ( brightest spotties around imo) but if you are on a budget like me I would certainly look at these.
Shop around it pays to.

Hi there,
They seem to be the going/ competative price for that size hella spotties.
I have 180mm spotties on my cruiser ute that i bought on sale from supercheap 18 months ago for $80.
They work good for what i need them for (maybe 3 times a year) and if they get stolen or broken i am not losing much.
I had a few problems with them not working, but i found out i had them wired up wrong by having both lights running of one terminal on the relay.
I rewired them with 240v house wire with short runs and they are brighter than i thought.
It all comes down to your budget and how often you will use them.

Where are you?
If in the West I would recommend NANE spottlights.
They are made for, and imported by, ORE (Off Road Equipment) in Myaree and are very good budget spotlights. Parts are cheap, and always available.
Three sizes available, clear covers available, excelent value IMHO.
