Suggestions on lights for my XD - Land Rovers Only

SkeeZRoverXD · 07-29-2006, 05:24 PM

Alright guys i'm gonna put some lights on my XD....I was looking at the Hella Black Magic's or the KC/Cepeck 130W cause I could get 6 including Stone Guards and Covers for $100 or 8 for $150... THe black magic's would look sweet with the color scheme but they're pricey and I haven't really decided on the setup yet either...(4 or 5 in the front and maybe two on the back of the roof rack.) Also I was kinda back and forth on the style circular vs. rectangular/square. Any suggestions of what anybody's done or would do if it were their rover would be awesome...also if anybody's got any pics to kind of give me an idea of what his/her rover looks like would also be greatly appreciated!!!

I intend to pics up as soon as i get it back from gettin the snorkel, lift kit, and new tires put on

I have 2 Hella 4000 driving/city lamps on the front of my XD. They look cool with the parking lamps on because they glow with the headlights. I don't have any on the roof yet. I just have the stock brush bar(which is crap) on there right now. The only reason I haven't taken it off is because it holds the lights. I thought about getting a fiberglass rally light pod for the hood and sticking 4 Hella 500's or Piaa lights in it and painting it AA yellow on the sides and blending the top in with flat black to match the hood blackout. What # is your XD? Mine is #18.

If you just want to spend money for the sake of spending money... go with the more expensive.

I would go for what ever you get "more bang for the buck".

130W lights... is bright regardless what name is on it.

Go with the KCs.

As for the back... if you have a roof rack, I would go with rectagular with a wide pattern. No point running driving lights in the rear unless you plan on driving in reverse over 5 mph.

You might want to look into some compact rectagular halogens with a wide pattern. I saw some at Pepboys for around 25.00 per pair. They were 55W H3 Halogens. For that price you could even go with four of them in the rear... hmmm
