A Light Topic

[barthel]

I need some input regarding lighting.

 

I've pretty much decided on my lighing set up, 2 on the front bumper guard, at least 2 if not 4 on the roof.

 

I've been looking at the Pro Comp 5" for the roof and decided on the PIAA 520's for the bumper. I wanted something tough up front and they seemed the logical choice.

 

Where I need help is deciding which 520's to get for the front. There's 2 basic types, the driving type (narrow beam) and the crystal ion fog type. Some places list the ion's as driving as well. Is there one choice better than the other for coverage in most general situations?

 

Thanks. :X

I'd put the fogs low and the spots on the roof. You want to flood the the ground with light in front of you as much as possible. Narrow beams are better suited for long range use.

As JJ said... BUT, you won't be using the roof lights for road driving. Have you rewired your headlights to a relay to increase the brightness? I haven't but everyone swears by it. There is a write up in the how to section?

It is now, just had to find it (and move it)... Yes it has the same link, but specific dialogue.

i have my 520 PIAA fogs on my brush guard, i love em, they are BRIGHT. They turn off when i turn on my brights, but thats an easy fix. So ya, 520 fogs low, driving up high.
