Thread: Car headlight upgrades

Add a pair of LED 'driving lights' switched off the high beam, and a set of 'work lights' or a light bar for when you are off road helps but it doesn't sort the issue of being on rural roads with a reasonable amount of oncoming traffic and being on dip the entire time. With some of the utes it feels like you are trying to look through two toilet rolls, bloody shocking. The earlier versions of the PX ranger had quite good spread of light, then the PX3 rolled out with really narrow headlights and they were in a word total and utter crap. The latest version seems to have gone to a taller headlight for more vertical reflector surface - it might not look as 'cool' in town around all the urban euro handbag cars but at least the damn things work in the rural road environment. Almost need two versions of fronts on cars these days - the one for people that actually drive them and the front for those that want something that looks mean as in the mall carpark.

Lights on my 2017 ranger are worse than my 25yr old bt50 were.

Exactry. I was really dissapointed with those, my 2013 PX2 outperformed the 2018 PX3 with near every bloody upgrade fitted (not including the aftermarket LED driving lights which I think were ARB as well...).

just dont use the hibeam wiring to also power the spotlights, or you may damage the original wiring of the ute.
