Title: Lights!
Post by: Rupert on November 26, 2005, 08:53:13 PM
On my latest long drive at 65 in the fog, I decided I am utterly unhappy with the lighting on the Trooper.

On of the headlights developed a water leak (that I am now fixing) and the bulb blew. The inside of the lens is very dirty. I would like to get a better pair of lens/reflectors to go with better bulbs (the idea being that better aimed brighter light with better defined edges is a good thing because, obviously the light is brighter, and that in fog/rain/ there is less reflection back to me). I would also like some good fog lights (the kind that actually work: low (for the truck) mounted, sharp edged, low back reflection). And I have no idea where to look. Money is an issue, but not that big of an issue. Headlamps come first... That's all I can think of. Anyone?

Thanks!

I don't know much about headlamps, but I recently bought a set of Hella FF1000 driving lights for my truck.  I got the driving light beam but you can get the wider fog beam as well.  I have been very happy with them.  They were affordable ($100 for the set) and are quality lights.

When you go to look for fog lights, check Susquehanna Motor Sports (http://www.rallylights.com/).  This guy carries pretty much all of the Hella products available and more.

Thanks! Could a mod move this to the Garage section? I think it might get more responses there.
