Of if you want bright lights.
I put a set of Lightforce 24cm diameter driving lights on my Territory. Lights up about 2km down the road ... brightest and strongest driving lights on the market. I mounted them on a nudge bar ... they are huge lights though. Usually seen on the interstate trucks ... awesome lights. I blind small animals at 500 metres.

I think i will be getting a nudge bar and spotties, roos up this way are a bit keen to fling themselves thru windows, kill 2 birds with one stone. Greg, how much your nudge cost? and where?

a parkside roobar might be better, i had one when i had a 5l ute and lived in Port Hedland yonks ago. According to their site they're average price is from $695 fitted, nudge bars from $380 fitted
http://www.parksidetowbars.com.au/product.html wonder how much they are unfitted? .. they can't be that hard to fit |

well, when i 1st got my ef the lights were pretty yellow, i read on fordmods where someone had used plexus plastic polish to clean theirs, so i got out the wet and dry, got rid of the yellow crap, polished with plexus and hey presto clean clear lenses, of course the lights also were brighter, no grunge to dim them, since then all i do is like about once every 6mths polish with plexus and the lenses stay clear, not much different to new, it's that good! http://www.plexusplasticcleaner.com/ i've had 100w globes in the high beams for 4yrs now, plus 50s in the main beams for 3 1/2yrs, no yellowing and the lights are much better than originals, cheapest option, also 1st one i'd do before fitting extra lights and bars etc, i was going to fit the number plate bracket and hang a pair of hella rallye 2000 spotlights off that, but i won't bother now, also the country road i drive has much more traffic on it nowadays and you don't get a lot of opportunities to use powerful lights, and really your main beam lights need to be better cause that's whats used the most |

Not so sure about that, my understanding is all bulbs must be replaced with what is listed by the manufacturer including High Beam.

I doubt the states are differant all vehicle roadworth standards are based on the ADR's
