hey yall,
i have tried googling it to no avail,
where is the best place to get one of those humungous spotlights, you see on roo shooters vans etc,
i have knocked up a remote control directional unit for it,
and it should look good where i will be placing it, i also have it so it turns around when not in use, lessens stone breakage,
but where do i get one, at the best price?
cheers
bcb
p.s.
i am a cheapskate,,

Youre looking for a bull light. Most truck shops or 4WD shops (ARB etc.) will stock them, as well as lenses if you need. I know Narva (among others probably) make them. PN 72315
Good luck mate

hey johnperth,

why do you think a spotlight would be illegal?
i see them driving around here all the time, on top of their racks etc,
and they all turn them around during the day

i think technically youre not allowed to have the lights any higher on the car, than the original mounting position of your headlights? I may be wrong. Can someone clarify?

I think that you are right Big Al. However if its a "loading light" you might get away with it.
Cibie <SP?> Super Oscars are another brand & well liked by rally drivers.

Its the movable as you drive aspect. The authorities dont want people driving around shining spotlights into other drivers eyes. Many years ago Rover had a central headlight that moved as the steering wheel moved to shine around bends, it was banned.
