I have started a thread in the lighting section to gather thoughts on the best driving lighs.

Please add to it if you have some experience of driving lights!

Hopefully it should give people (inc me!) some good advice as to which lights are best!

Cheers

Matt.

How about a link to the lighting forum

I want to know where to get the fog lamp covers for a MY00 like on the STI's but I can keep my lamps underneath

Rusty, how about these?

Hi Matt,

I have changed the OEM fogs for ScoobySport Cibes Here . 130w each

They make a huge difference with the extra spread of light when trying to avoid fallen branches on these wet & windy nights.

Just wish I could find some thing to improve dip

PIAA are very good. On my second set. Come as a complete kit.
Try DR Motorsport or an advert in wanted. Make night into day and burn the eyeballs out of foxes and other pests at 1/4ml +.

any more?

I changed mine for Hella Comet Xenon 500 gas discharge jobbies

Bugger to fit, but once done, the light output is phenomenal. Same sort of light output as the 1000FFs

STi7, HID dip, main beam 100w rallye bulbs, Prodrive/Subaru/Hella gas discharge drive lamps.

The best lamp setup I have ever had on any car since 1971

Get Cibies from Scoobysport - fog lamps are for BMW drivers to generally use - and are of no use! 2 X 130w LEGAL Scoobysporter Cibies are FAB! They are not too cheap, but they are a special R&D fitting.

PS I use the BMW reference accurately - I was starting to move house tomorrow, and my friends/family kindly helped, with their 4 x foglamps on on the way back! I was so grateful for the err humping, I didnt say 'owt!

PIAAs are the way ahead!!!!!! (in my humble opinion!)

Replaced the original fogs with a set of 130W retina burning pencil beam spots and they light up the country roads for miles ahead. .....I know some will say that driving lamps give a better spread of light for fast driving, but I like the better range of the pencil beam spots and they do spread the light enough!! and generally you are not Richard Burns and are pointing the same way as you are traveling.
Them combined with high power PIAA head lamp bulbs it's the 'dogs bits'. Bit of a snag when someone comes the other way and your personal daylight disappears and you are left with the glow of two small candles to light the way at high speed!
Only draw back is they don't come cheap and niether do the bulbs... but the bulbs last much longer than the Cibie bulbs seem to (fitted to a mates car).

"When God invented the Scooby he said "let there be light!" and there was, and it was PIAA light and you could see for bloody miles!!!" - here endeth the lesson.

Rich,

I've just bought your old PIAA's from the lad who has your old Terzo. I picked them up for £50 but he butchered the loom when taking them out so I'm going to have to make up my own.

He's trying to sell the car.
