Orangetang Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I didn't buy the expensive IPF lights when I bought my ARB, instead I ended up buying some GE 4509 aircraft landing/taxi bulbs, and rubber housings for under $40 bucks. I've had them for about a year, even though the bulb life is only rated for 25 Hours. They just recently burnt out, either naturally, or becuase I had the toggle on by accident while it was idling for an hour or so. I'm curious what else you all have fitted in there. Before this I had a cheap set of offroad lights from Princess Auto, which shattered the first time they were splashed with water, while on... I just finished putting in an order for the newer GE Q4509 bulbs, rated at 30,000 more candlepower, cooler lens surface, and same wattage/draw. They're substaintially more money, $25 instead of $10, but the life is rated at 100 hours, which alone is worth the cost, I think. In case these don't work out for me, please post whatever you're using. Also, if you're at all intrigued by these GE bulbs, they are incredibly bright but not very durable. I couldn't even tell if I turned off the headlights, highbeams, or Hella 500s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorgan4 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I've got the IPFs in mine. I used to think they were the greatest, but now they're both half full of water. I don't even have them wired up anymore. Really just there to fill the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
