Hi Guys...

What color lens would you go for on spot lights?

Blue or clear??

Cheers

Clear, not chavvy blue.

Clear, not chavvy blue.

I'm working hard to de-bling my surf.... but performance wise... doesn't blue have better performance in the night than clear...

ps i'm thinking of changing the stock 55w bulbs for 130w ones... too for some decent light

Upgrade the wiring for brighter lights, the stock wiring is too thin which is why Surfs have dim headlights.

Dunno if the blue lights are better, I think they just give a more 'whiter' light so they seem brighter.

xenon lights are better and give off a slightly blue light. Just having blue bulbs doesn't do anything useful.

Neither - I've had them chrome plated ones and they rusted in a few months!!
spend the extra and get stainless steel - they'll look good and last a life time!

I had clear originally as I hated the blue type. when my chrome ones rusted - I wanted stainless steel but unable to find clear so settled for the pale blue type. to be honest I like to blue now - but my truck is dark blue so it goes quite well.
when they're on the light emitted is not coloured at all - just pure white.
I've uprated my wiring and fitted those pure white lamps (100w) tinted blue.

Where abouts did you get the stainless steel ones from?? and do they cost a arm and a leg...

[jaky cakes]

Actually they're not all that expensive around £40-50 ish from ebay

I've got ProComp 130W stainless ones. Pretty damn good. Think they were something like £70 - £80 each, but they've been on the truck for 3 years and still look new.

Re. Xenon, Krypton, Halogen and even feckin-bazillion - they're all just gases they fill an ordinary lamp with and are pretty much of a muchness. If you want serious light output, you need HIDs. They will cost an arm and a leg though.

At t'end of the day, you really dont need to light the road 2 miles ahead when your truck cant move much faster than continental drift. Beam pattern is much more important - which you'll find when offroading at night.
