I want to see in the dark

I think that the Lightforce have a deeper reflector than the Hella, so the widest part of the light is forward of the bar (as you can see) - or perhaps they just narrow down a lot more.
The Super Oscar is similar, but the widest part of the light is actually further back. I think it would be a tight fit to mount them on the original tabs. they certainly wouldn't fit on my new tabs.
 
im thinking i would need to have tabs mounted on the front of the bar, not the rear. These boys are massive. 9inch and thiiiick.
 
The lightforce lights have a weird mount setup that sits wa-aaay behind the lense/focal point globe mount. Jut about every other light on the market has the mount much closer if not under the same point.

I had a bugger of a time mounting the light force lights on the front of my sister’s Gen3.

Cheers

because they stick out so far? were you trying to keep them flush with the front of the car?
That's why I ended up embedding mine into the grill a bit
I'm a bit worried about legality on the lightforce being proud of the roo bar, but I read just the other day that the principle thing is that they don't negatively affect pedestrians. If anything, I think the design of the lightforce is more likely to cushion a pedestrian as they will flex/snap.
When compared to other setups we have up here, I don't think I'll ever get questioned.
People still mount their lights above their roobar, obstructing vision. Not small lights either, see it quite often..
 
So how do i wire up 2 Spotlights and a light bar. Will i need two harnesses or one?. I mean it looks pretty simple to wire up i just need further understanding on the subject
 
You need switching relays, and minimum 15A power wires for each light. Earthing wires from relays to ground must also be capable of carrying the total amperage being switched. You MUST fuse these circuits.

Relays activated by dash mounted switching circuits to the relays. This wiring can be very light gauge.
 
There are wiring harnesses which i assume come with all ready sorted. Do i need one harness for the light bar and one harness for the spotties??
 
Depends entirely on how heavy the wire gauge is ...

45A wire is pretty heavy!

If I were doing this, I would do it with separate circuits for each light, at least from the relays. Separate dash switches for the lightbar and the pair of spotties.

I do not know if you can buy a suitable off the shelf kit, but I doubt it ...
 
Also depends on the wattage of the lights...
I reckon I could get away with the one relay on mine and run 300 watts (The 2 lightforce & my Super Oscar) as that only draws 25A and I've got a 30Amp relay.
I actually had a similar setup on my old Hilux/Surf, 2 X 100W something or others (came with the car) and my Super Oscar (100W). I don't know what relay was in it, but it worked and nothing melted. :)

This of course assumes you're only running halogen. HID has a greater draw on startup.
 
The lightbar will draw around 8-10 amps ...

You really do need to know what you are doing here ...
 
but those leds still draws way less then normal bulbs arent they ? you just need proper cables for them and fuses and you good to go is it ?

Light output per watt is generally higher, it all comes down to the number of watts though.

the light bar is a 10w i think

That's tiny. there's a lot of LEDs that put out 10W per diode (bulb/whatevs).
 
The lightbar on Roo2 draws 8.33A, IIRC. A whole lot of 5W Cree LEDs.

It draws 8.9A at 13.6V.

I'm not sure how they work that out, when they advertise that it's 18 X 10W Cree diodes..
Are they under-powering them? that's not very good for LEDs.
