we tested my nite stalkers vs a mates lightforce spotties last weekend, both the same size and same wattage bulbs in them (i think) and mine were actually brighter, and almost a quarter of the price... having said that, i've run 50amp wire from my battery to each spotlight, i think he has 25amp wire running to both lights, so a lot more voltage drop... but still, if you dont want to spend a fortune, the nite stalkers are $150 at supercheap (got mine on sale for $116 :D ) and are brilliant.

best thing about light force was there free, and if i ever have a problem they will be fixed for nothing, plus i enjoy having a quality built light on the front

Stuff paying for heaps expensive lights.
I like my super cheap 180mm spotties with ebay HID kits.
Total of about $150 and heaps brighter than those expensive things and less likely to go walk a bout.

i got some of the smaller hid's of these.
exellent price.
got them from tjm and he bloke said he wouldnt use or recommend anything else (has an 80 series with 6 of them) and is considering dropping lightforce from his line, his words "overpriced, under performing well known name"
each to their own.

lightforce definitely look better, but as i said, my $150 supercheap spotties outperformed them. and for me, thats a $200-300 saving i could put towards something else.

Polycarbonate lenses my friend :wink:

And unless you have your mini's number plate mounted to your bonnet, I doubt its higher :wink:

Number plate is removed for offroad wheeling. Its a better location than zip tied to the grille like most numpties do :roll: Why on earth would a radiator require airflow? :crazy:

:lol:

I recon light force :D Personally i love them, I have 2 240's with 100w hids both pencil beam and 2 170's full spread. Can actually run them both at the same time yet :lol: need to upgrade the alternator. (which will happen as soon as i remember to steal the falcon alt i found in my old mans garage!)

Rather than start a new thread i'll just tack onto this one.


I'm looking to get a pair of spotties to mount on a roofrack. Wanting a pair of flood lights, not long distance beams - manly to keep an eye on incoming kangaroos when i'm trundling along camping trails.

#1: what's the law with spotties and roofracks - looking around the last couple of days i've seen a couple of jeeps with top mounted spotties, but everything generally seems mounted on a front bar. Is it illegal to have them up high?

#2: if it is legal, what's the best way of getting power up to the roofrack position up considering I have a hardtop (ie - and don't want to drill panel holes unless I have to).

I do have confidence in my cooling system as it's a new car :helloo: and there is not much of a grill on the jimny to start of with, so really it's made no difference what's so ever :roll:
