Driving Lights

[Levisbronco]

I was wondering what you guys were using for driving lights? What brand/series do you like? Who has the best price? What kind of setup you guys have? If you could send pics that would be sweet! Thanks Levi ;D

For standard driving use Cibie E-Code 7" Headlights with 80/100 watt H4 bulbs. For auxilary driving lights Cibie Oscar's (pencil beams). They will lay a "hot spot" 2 miles down the road ... amazing.

This setup will set forests on fire at night.

ASE-73,

Do you have a good on-line source for the Cibie E-Code 7" Headlights?

Has anyone seen the new Warn HID setup? How much?

No doubt the H-4s kick a$$ but to be street legal you need a 55w low beam. The 55/100 H-4 is more versatile.

Still need to upgrade my headlights, but i got some Warn SDb 160's. They are a driving lights that can be switched from regular to pencil.

Here is the link. $105 per pair. Hard to find given they are illegal in the states (not DOT approved). The beam pattern is awesome ... not like the DOT pattern that lays an amorophous blob of light on the road 30 pathetic feet ahead of the vehicle.

Check out the E-Code beam pattern ... even more impressive with standard white 80/100 Watt or 90/130 Watt H4 bulbs.

Order P/N 13-05065-01 ... best money you will ever spend.

Also, you can order standard high (80-130) Watt halogen bulbs from ...

Do not buy the tinted halogen bulbs that claim higher output ... total marketing BS and not worth 3-6 times the price of standard halogens.

With High Intensity Discharge Systems being more predominant, 100 watt Halogens are not a problem in terms of being "busted". I have run 100 watt H1, H2, H7 and H4's in all of my vehicles for years and have never been questioned.
