Re: Offroad lights
Just had a look, you mention your after spot lights, but the advert states the lights have a flood type beam. not really good for lighting up the road ahead, more of a work light I'd say.
It depends on what you want them to do for you. I've seen led bars with a combination of spot lights and a few flood lights, seemed to work really well, but it depends what look your after as well.

Am I the only one reading that they are "Anti Explosion" ?
They look pretty decent, but as Ian says, wouldn't use them as a spot light!

Re: Offroad lights
Depends on whether you want to see everything around you or cast light into the distance.
These will flood the area around your Zuk, but won't light up anything at a distance. If you want something for offroad only use, they might work as you don't need to see at a great distance when offroading, but you do need to be able to see bombholes and banks that drop away to oblivion.
If they're too "flood" for you, you can always put a fresnel lens on them.

Re: Offroad lights
My old disco had roof lights that were a mix of flood and spot which were great for night driving

Re: Offroad lights
Thanks lads big help i didnt even think about the 2 diffrent types al look for some spot lights for the top of the cage , what yas think on wottage ? Thanks
Re: Offroad lights
Just remember though, roof mounted lights will reflect off the bonnet and give you some glare.
lights are much better mounted on the front in my opinion unless you have a matt bonnet that won't reflect the lights.
