Hi everyone,
I'm looking at getting a set of driving lights within the next few months and was just wondering what members thoughts were on the IPF 900XS lights?
depends on your driving, long distance brightness or shorter bright and wide beam!
I looked that them and ended up purchasing Narva Ultima 175. Very happy with them
I had Lightforce 170's on the Prado until some low life cut the harness and stole them. They couldn't get the mounting bolt off but was able to get it off via the tilt bolt. I have steered away from any lights that have there mounting and tilt bolts external. Narva has a single bolt and with the anti-theft bolt on it makes it harder to steal. The insurance cost and the lights value meant I was better to buy my own again. The IPF lights look and work well but I can purchase 2 pairs of Narva 175 to 1 pair of IPF. I had HID kit installed but there was a problem and waiting to get the money back and I will purchase another kit soon. The HID kit and Narva is still less than the IPF to buy. The round IPF have a better beam on paper and what I have been told, the rectangle lamps would have been the ones that fitted my bars but only had performance slightly better than the 175 at twice the price. I was looking for a light that would light up the road 400m and give a broad beam which the 175 just drops short of 400m but when the HID is in that is passed without issue. The wide beam is great and I find I can see much better in the bush than the Lightforce 170 with broad beam lens

Went up to Hervey Bay and stopped in cabins in Maryborough. That night my spot lights and the 4by beside mine took a walk. The police came and it must have been the biggest thing that happened in months. 3 or 4 squad cars and a finger printing teamat the seen.
I have a TJM steel bar and where the brackets and height is limiting. I like the Narva Ultima 225 and specs were great against a Super Oscar. The big thing is define your budget and purpose will help to work out the light that suit you. I had to work out the lights I liked and then work out if they would fit, sadly many of the lights I would love to use will not fit my bar.
ONLINE AUTOPARTS was the best price delivered and a Truck stop in Taree was the best price for the 225's
The police hasn't found anything but that is expected. Believe it could have been people that came that weekend to watch the car racing at the show grounds. They had guts, did it 5 meters in light from my bed in the cabin.
It would be between Cibie Super Oscars or the Narva Ultima 225. I had Cibie Super Oscars driving on my RX3 and lite the road up extremely well. As many rally cars use them or Hella, it is a good starting point. The 225 comes with the protectors which most other brand need to purchase. I was hoping to install the 225, which was my first choice.
