After putting the Xrox bar on I’ve got no fog spotlights and I’m putting the rhino rack on this weekend so it’s time for a light bar spotlights and lower fogs these ones you’ve shown look mint for the Mitsy. Upgrade break’s next and soon we are ready for ticking our bucket list “cape trip”
Mate, love how tech just keeps pushing everywhere we look! These stedis look incredible, would make a massive difference to my early morning High country commutes to work. Those Roos are mental.
I need a set of spotlights as I do a lot of driving out to my grandparent's house to drive them to the doctor for my granddad (about once a week). They live out rural a bit so there's a lot of kangaroos on the road and the drives home are often in the first few hours of the night when they are most active! I also got my first child on the way (daughter) so these would be great to help keep my self and my family safe driving to and from the doctors every week.
I had no clue about the cri learn more from these videos then I ever did in school 😂😂 I have a set off marketplace to get me a to b they work so well but a set of brand new ones would be bloody awesome keep up the good work boys
Great on stating the best CRI coming from of halogens. Seeing well is the result of quality light output and correct reflector design, not necessary the greatest lumens or blueish LED bars. I chose halogens for my Montero. Not sealed, no water fording, just an improvement over stock old low/high beams. Regards from Guatemala 🇬🇹
Hey Shauno! We have a Toyota FJ45 1982 ex army restoration and we need a new set of lights but we are really struggling to find the perfect ones. You have given us the perfect spotties to get.
Thanks Shaun great tips. I think I have made most of those mistakes on my 80 Series. I’m embarking on a complete light upgrade after a disappointing experience with a cheap spotty and light bar deal a few years back has left me with just 4 working candles. Just got to get it right this time cheers Bill
My Prado 150 is stock, I'm getting into mountain biking so I need to start setting up my rig for safety and ease of use, you could help me get started.
Hey bud, great video especially the CRI INDEX, you learn something every day. I would love to win the set of spots, as I sadly don’t have a set on my Amarok and planning a trip to Namibia soon. Keep up the great work 💪
It would be great if I scored a pair of Stedi's to replace the set I currently have (AK'S) that have cost me a handful of relays and blown fuses in the GU
Actually got a lot out of that video Shaun. Blokes being what we are and what we think we know mate I gotta put the hand up and state you just never stop learning! Being old school a decent set of spotties would make life so much better driving around here at night. If it’s not Roos it’s deer or bloody wombats to avoid
It would be great to do a comparison review and include NiLight leds. I'd love to see the cost of illumination per foot or something similar. I have found my nilight light bar to be a very decent value and it seems to light up where I need to go. Thanks.
why only down under? you have a bigger spectrum of subscribers.......... i do a lot of night time driving here in SA and would look good on my next gen Ford
Hi i live in south africa i have a security company and our main focus is anti-poaching i have recently bought a new ford ranger and i am in need of some good lighting as most of our work is done at night thanks for the great show guys keep it up
Love your channel. Research shows that the light levels for older adults should be increased by at least 50% over those needed by younger people. As someone in my mid 70’s, who still enjoys off road driving, I really need these LED lights to replace my Cibie Oscars which seem to be getting dimmer as I age.
Your spotlights are turned off more times than on On the highway up there Waste of time if you drive on major highways Just too much traffic to use them properly
Great video Shauno, very well put together and timely as I’m just scouting the internet looking at the many options of LED driving lights after hitting a roo at 90km/h at night. The mighty Pajero survived the impact luckily but certainly made me realize it’s time for a set of spot lights!
Love the video Shauno! My fourbie needs a fair few upgrades as it's quite stock and not having to save up for a set spotties would be a dream, especially for daily driving as most of my driving is during the night and the normal headlights need a helping hand! Keep up the great work!
Great video and very informative. Since the birth of our daughter a few weeks ago I’ve started to rethink how our vehicle is set up for camping and touring. Previously I hadn’t really considered driving lights an essential requirement but now, anything I can do to make travel safer for my family is a good thing. We are planning a road trip from Newcastle to Tassie later this year and the Stedi’s would be a very welcome addition. Best of luck everyone!
Hey mate. Planning the same trip (from Sydney not Newcastle) it will need to be short though. Do you reckon 7 nights in Tasmania is enough to see much of the island?
Let’s be honest, none of us NEED these spotties, but they are wicked cool and anyone on here would be stoked on them! This would be my first Aussie product as I live in the states. Always love seeing what these Aussie companies are making for the fourbie community
speak for your self mate, if you live outside of the city or spend a lot of time there you NEED spotlights, unless you only drive in daylight. My truck has spots and light bar, all our other cars have light bars.
@@yarpos so what spotties do you have on your rig? I didn’t say spotties weren’t needed, I said these high dollar spotties aren’t needed. Most I’ve seen run the cheap Amazon specials. Why I said anyone would be stoked to get this set.
@yarpos Part of his reply is in USA "we can not run them on road" legally. I've got a mixture of floods and " spotty's " on my "fourbie's" no "Roo's" to run in roads but whitetails, moose, antelope, cattle ect ect. . Hitting a moose can be deadly in N. America. Another Yank here, that follows a few 4 Wheel things from there... 👍
Speak for yourself, I NEED BOTH SPOT AND FLOOD LIGHT for night driving. Here you have cows, sheep, reindeer and elk that run out into the road or just stand in the middle of the road blocking it with an entire reindeer flock. If I do not have good lights I would have to drive snow as snail, with good lights I can actually see them better during the night then in the day.
I'm building a 4wd drive with my dad and some new lights especially in rural Queensland would be amazing. BTW I'm 14 and I'm paying for most of our new 4wd even tho it's like 4k lol
Bought my first fourbie which is a Prado. Will be driving to Rockhampton from Brissy every weekend, to see my kids, and usually at night or dawn. Set of these bad boys sure would make me live longer mate. Haha! Cheers.
Just brought my first car and it needs a a new set of everything 🤣. Good old Toyota Hilux KZN165. A set of new spotties would let me be able to spend some money on other parts. Keen to get out bush with some mates when the cars done 🤙🏼
Have none on the family pathfinder, just standard headlights n lookn to get the family out n about n probably need them in vic with the fu..king roos down here😝
I’ve had a set of eBay special spotties for a few years now and apart from the duck I hit last week and them completely exploding they have been alright. But a new set of spotties to go with my brand new bullbar would be great
I took my old lightforce lights off because I thought they were restricting airflow causing the overheating problem I had, in that time they were off the ex missus took em and sold em, now I have none, would love a new set so I can blind her on the road next time we meet haha
Hi I would love to have those spotties because the car that I want to put them on has cheap hundred dollar lights and I am planning to go away soon so I would love them, please
Another very critical point about cheap led lights is the interference they can cause to modern electronics eg radio, two way and computers, hence the reason I don’t currently have any extra lighting.
Hey mate, been watching your videos and they are deadly to watch. I would love those spotties as I crontract on stations in the Gawlers ranges and as you can imagine the roos are like ants down this way! Keep up the work boss 👍🏽
Hey mate, me and all my mates love watching your videos when I watched this video I couldn’t pass up the chance. My dads got a Toyota Land Cruiser and we both love it, we putting all the energy and effort into making it all rigged up. I’ve been looking all around trying to find hight beams like this. I reckon he be over the moon if I could get these for him. Thank you for give me this chance.
Shaun, we are in the process of waiting for our MUX to arrive. As an older (seniors) couple we know that some really good spotlights are going to be an absolute must. Our eyes aren't that great at night. 😂😂😂. We have been talking about spotties and my goodness these are some good-looking spotties. Hope we are in with a chance.
Well I need new spotties because mine has some dead LDS in and I use spotties because we have a lot of Kudu that roam the streets here in South Africa. Spot lights with a good spread helps me to see them from a distance.
Hey Shauno! I recently bought a 1993 80 Series GXL. My dream is to make my 80 look just like Sooty! I was wondering if you had any good names that I could name my rig as I try to make my dream build out of this car and make it just as cool as Sooty! Love the videos too, they are really helping me to learn more and more about 4wd and easier and cheaper ways to build my 4wd!!!
I need a new set as I'm running ebay knock offs as it's all I could afford. I have bad eyesight, especially at night, so a good set would enhance my vision which I refuse to let stop me from getting the kids out of the house. Any peace of mind when it comes to keeping the fam safe while on the road is welcomed.
I have recently bought an 80 series cruiser as my first car. It came with old rusty IPF spotlights that didn't work, and I have been looking for new ones ever since
To be honest Shauno, I don't even have any LED lights, my dad is too tight on money that he saids he'll never get a pair. We just got a camper that we love going to places with but when driving the long tyring straight roads at night, it's so obvious that just our standard driving lights are nowhere near what we need. the Stedi type X Evo would help out so much and would make the trips around the places a whole lot safer aswell. Hopefully I could be considered in the competition. Cheers Shauno and the rest of ya
Shaun I have to disagree please review adventure kings spoties I bought a set which included 2 small spots two 7” spots and a light bar loom was separate cost me $220 plus the loom which was $100 roughly. Had them on my Jeep for 4 years drove them through river crossings been bogged under water for long periods of time matched them up with other brands for brightness and they come out on top. I took them off now it’s been 4 years replaced them with stedi evos because I always wanted stedi I have to say my kings ones were brighter I was disapointed in stedi il leave them on now that i paid big dollar for them But I’m not 💯 happy with them . I believe cheaper brands are just as good .
Hi There, What do you think about Supernova, I am trying to get Kings Lights off my car. I am looking between Stedi or Supernova. I love both of them, but the Supernova does 1.7km down the road but I think that is good but would be bad around corners because of the spread is bad. If i go to Stedi, what should i get Stedi Type-X Evo or Type-X Pro. Questions: What is the Difference? What would be the best one for me? I do like the Pro because of the cool covers but surely Stedi is bringing some out.
My 2004 100 series landcruiser is still running 19 year old IPF spotlights. I think it's fair to say they've served me well but it's time to move into the 21st century.
Cheers Shauno. I've recently bought my first 4wd and just took it out for its first camping trip last night! Super exciting. I don't have spotties yet and so after the sun set I was relying on my normal headlights to see where I was going. Pretty sketchy. I realized then that spotties are the next thing that I need for my 4wd. Would love to win some! Cheers. Loving all your videos. Will
Why do you need to see 800-1000m ? In the bush they no good, on the highway they no good unless there`s a straight bit of road. Ok good idea if you doing 100-200km/hr and no oncoming traffic. If you cant stop within 50-100m you need a new brakes.
Hi Shauno. I’m getting my Next-Gen Wildtrak very soon, fitted with ARB bullbar, but haven’t got LED driving lights yet. If Im gonna lucky picking me up, it would be great, and nice fitting STEDI LED driving lights on my ARB bullbar, and would use in cape york trip. Cheers!
Greetings from America! I just came across your channel and i love it! Have been binge watching ever since! I know the give away is over, but man, i would love a new set of spotty's! I have an Auxbeam driving bar and i'm in desperate need of new ones! I' m starting to get my 8yr old daughter into camping and what you call" touring". Anyway this channel is great! And next time you and Graham are in America, i would love to buy you two an ice cold beer!
Hey Shauno love the channel. Dont give a sh!t about the comp just getting out there that i have ran STEDI products since there one of there first light bars hit the market , (still have it on triton) 15 years and still holding it own against new tech. Just bought new 2023 BT50 and will definitely installing STEDI products on the new rig. Thank (4WD ACTION) 4WD 24/7 for the years of entertainment. See you guys out there FROTHING.
Lol cheap lights are ok continues on to pretty much tell you to buy $1000 stedi. I've had lightfox for 5 years now and it's only been the 1 set not 5 cause they need replacing every 12 months
i bought some Stedi EVO spotty and spread beam Lights, and had them shipped to me in the USA. Holy Crap are they bright! Some of the best lights I've ever had!!!
Didnt catch your name at the start of the video m8 like your videos and like the LED s wouldn't mind a set just recently bought a 2018 Ford Ranger and the last owner of the Ranger took the air compresser and the Spot lights of and don't need a compresser and living in Yorketown SA... life would be a lot brighter with some LEDs on the Country Roads 👍
Nice vid Shauno. Great to see you filming in my neck of the woods. Recognized it straight away. The first roads I drove when I was old enough to drive. I'd love a pair Stedi Type X Evo's for my LN106 ponylux. She's been in the family for 24 out of 26 years. I grew up in it, and now I've inherited it off my Dad after 470,000km it's my turn to raise my kids the Toyota way. The old luxy would really benefit from some a set of these mint driving lights. Thanks Shauno.
I purchased a cheap LED bar 4 years ago and it is still turning night in to day. you guys should actually show some tests and failures of the bad products if you are going to have an opinion on them. If they die after a month, it shouldn't take too long to organize this test.
I just had a cracking Heart Attack and I'm really feeling the pinch because I can't be heading out for a couple months. What I CAN do though, is watch 4WD24/7 episodes with my daughter and work on some light mods (Pun intended!). I'd LOVE to be adding some awesome new lights to the rig!!!
The problem I have with LEDs is the color temperature. 99% of them seem to be 6000 to 6500 Kelvin. Usually called "Hyper" or "Ice" White, or some such, they have that annoying blue tint which the human eye doesn't see well. Only the more expensive LEDs are a more normal 5000 K, which has a hint of yellow, but the human eye can see better. Because of this, I stick to halogens, while not as bright, I can see with.
I have a light bar mounted on the roof spoiler on my 3,2m tall Ford Transit box van, but even mounted that high it give way to much light right in front of the car and it do not light up the road farther away so I pretty much never use it. I have now bought 2 more of the 25W high beam halogen alike LED lights that came with the car when I bought it that is mounted in the grill of the car in front. They work great to light up the road far ahead and give not to much light right in front of the car. Will mount them up high on the spoiler to give even better reach ahead together with two 170w LED high beam lights with many smaller LED and reflectors (hope they are better then the light bar that have way to much spread).
I had a set of Supacenter 9 inch spotties on my lux for 8 yrs to the day I sold the vehicle they never let me down. Not a single led failed only issue I ended up having was the removable protective lens yellowed and cracked Best $300 I spent
Building a new bumper for my Jeep JKU... good set of lights would look mint! 👌 I lived in SA in the early '80s, but I'm in NS, Canada 🇨🇦 now.... so no lights for me... 😅
Why do I need a new set of spotties? Easy, I am getting myself a Van (Iveco Daily) for a DIY conversion to a Motorhome so I can become a Grey Nomad and explore more of our Great Country. Am not retiring the GU Patrol ute 4.2TD just yet. Good work Shauno, Keep the shiny side up. Cheers, Bryce.
In the States, spot lights are a tight beam, and flood lights are a wide beam. Cibie, Marchal, all the European classics offered both types. A pair of 7" Marchal halogen driving lights (in between the two) would let you read a newspaper over a kilometer down the road, once you replaced the 50W bulbs with 100W bulbs. Which made each lamp 10x brighter than our federal limit for road vehicles entirely. Sadly someone stole mine. They ridiculously expensive IF you can find them used.
Hi Shaun, thanks very much for your video on Driving Lights. I have recently purchased a 2020 Toyota Prado and have currently got a Bullbar on order. We are going to be driving through the mid north of SA and will need some good lights. I am currently doing the research so thanks again for your tips. Regards
Really gonna need those spotties. Currently working on the "poor uni student" build. Picked up a 2006 rav4 for some light offroading and overlanding, and it came with some nice hella lamps... also from 2006. The high beams with new bulbs are brighter than them at this stage. So instead of running out to replace the old halogen bulbs, I was gonna pick up some cheap LED lamps which should be better and last longer, but hey if you're gonna offer, im gonna ask. Got a ton of other things to do, AT tyres, RTT, 12v system, fridge slides, etc that I need to do, so free things are always welcome.
Hi 4WD 24/7 love all the videos you do and makes me wish to be with you. I just recently bought a Toyota Hilux n80 2018 model and it pretty much stock and me as a rover scout want to go 4WD in it so badly but it’s need the required gear like bull bar, racks and suspension upgrade but a STEDI spot lights would be amazing to have. I already have the STEDI fog lights put in which i installed myself and can’t wait to do more. Love you guys on what you do and where you go it reminds me of all the memories when I when to some of those magnificent places. 😊
I personally no longer use LED anymore because of the kelvin colour of the LED'S I've gone back to a 4,300 K HID, And it's absolutely brilliant while these 5500k and higher Kelvin's reflect mist, dust, and rain the 4300k doesn't and you can see a lot more clearly without the interference of the elements...
Thanks to your video and i understand how to choose the right spot light for my prado although its a bit expensive but this video is telling not to buy cheap one😂
Great video as always bro. Quick question, I have a 93 trooper with aisin manual locking hubs. Is it okay to use 4L with the hubs unlocked? I find it easier to drive steep hills using 4L but 4x4 are not necessary on pavement right? Also 4x4 is not r commended on paved road. So i was wondering if i can use 4L in 4x2 mode (hubs unlocked). Will i break anything? Thank you
I have all ready got a stedi light bar, but I don't want to see the birds sleeping in the top of trees I want to see the road, I want lights that that shine up what iam driving on. Years ago I had on the truck rails 2000 wow they were great. Evo lights look just what I need. 48 years driving interstate trucks experience now retired now 73 still love driving. Yours faithfully. Peter Best. Ps love your 4x4 show, thanks for telling me about the light.
Hey shauno! Big fan of 4wd247 and STEDI. I'd appreciate receiving some lights for my rig to prove to my brother that STEDI is better than RIGID. Im just starting out and learning from your videos a lot. Could really use some lights as I don't have much on my rig at all
This light is just what we were looking for to help, a rescue ambulance team back home Horn of Africa, to transport patients from village to city. Where roads do not exist. Will be happy with a discount code. Spaceman 64 gets my vote.
Hey guys live ya work 🎉 I'd love to win the light set up as my 3 best mates and I are planning on touring for the first time in our lives from Melbourne to Fremantle and back in a few weeks 🤞🏽 We are all learning and have one new 79 series & two Navara NP300 D23. Everyone but me has a full rig set up but me 😩 If I was to win these lights id be happy to record the whole trip and give you feedback on the lights if you guys like 🤷🏼
I need a new set of driving lights due to the fact I have been putting off setting any up one my 2017 MUX. the reason I have been putting it off is that my father gave me 2 x 20-year-old Hella Rallye 2000 Driving Spotlights 9 Inch. one I have no idea how to set them up as they have one blue wire. I would love a pair of Stedi as they look amazing and would absolutely suit my car. Don’t want to buy cheap shit lights before we do our big trip from QLD down and around Tassie.
Just completed Gary Junction Road, NT to WA. Towing a caravan. I have a set of 2 great light force spot lights. Well did have. One bracket failed and at this stage can't locate replacement bracket. The screws came undone on one side. So a new set of Stedi's would fix the look on my ARB Bullbar. Thought they would be better than that.
Hi guys, I need a new set of spot lights !!! The ones i use at the moment are a set of 40 year old Cibie Super Oscers with HID's and the reflectors are burning out. I'm used to having a kilometer of of quality light and it's down to, on a good night , 5 - 600 meters of poor light . It would make my day to get a super good set of those Stedi Type X Evo LED lights.
I need a new set of spotties because my 2019 Ford Ranger was in an accident (not my fault) and written off. Insurance paid me out, I used that to get a 2021 Isuzu D-Max. But insurance didn’t allow me to remove any of my accessories before the Ranger went to scrap 😢 so my old light bar was wasted. I planned to try a pair of spotties this time, and was considering the Stedi range. 🙂👍🏻
I would love to win a set of these lights. Not worried about the Kangaroos, but deers are everywhere here in Meaford Ontario Canada. I have a JDM 1990 HDJ81 triple locked and factory winch RHD here in Canada. It's my wife and I travel rig.
Shauno, I’d love to receive a set of these lights. They will help me convince the missus that I need to fit my winch bar sooner in prep for when us and the tinlids go for my bucket list 50th birthday (5 years time) trip to the Cape (your fault hahaha)… Cheers legend, love watching your stuff 🤘…
Looking at retiring my Kings Dominators 9" , bought in August 2019 and have been all over South Australia , not talking about going to every kmart either, underwater , vibrations , big hits from debris and animals only mods was adjustment screws wasn't flash. Would love a set of evo's spread n spot on my newish GU
Can’t help but enjoy all the knowledge and tips you give…. Mind you I shudder at what you do to your vehicles…. I’ve been watching and learning from you since I purchased my BT50 Ute last year…… we live in Regional SA, so my lovely lady would really appreciate some extra vision considering our regular eye to eye contact with Kangaroos every time we travel……
In desperate need of a good set of replacement LED drivers for the halogens on the grandpa spec 1HDFT 80 series I recently picked up. Been taking notes on SOOTY for future upgrades. These Evo's would be a brilliant start!
Awesome vid! The Stedi Type X Evo’s would be 100 times better than the 7 yr old ebay light bar currently on the Challenger 😆. Thanks for the info - never looked at CRI but will from now on.
First and foremost, let's talk about visibility. Picture this: you're cruising down the road, enjoying the freedom of the open highway, when suddenly darkness sets in. Whether it's nighttime driving or encountering foggy weather conditions, having spotlights on your vehicle is a game-changer. These bad boys provide focused and intense light, allowing you to see further and clearer than ever before. They illuminate the road ahead, making it a breeze to spot potential hazards, pedestrians, or wildlife that might cross your path. But it doesn't stop there. If you're an adventurous soul who loves exploring challenging terrains, spotlights are an absolute must-have. Imagine navigating through rough trails, rocky paths, or remote areas with limited lighting. Having spotlights mounted on the front of your vehicle ensures that every twist and turn is brilliantly illuminated. You'll have the confidence to conquer any obstacle that comes your way, making your off-road adventures safer and more exciting. Now, let's talk about safety and security. Additional lighting not only improves your visibility but also makes your vehicle more visible to others on the road. This increased visibility reduces the risk of accidents and ensures that fellow drivers can spot you from a distance. Furthermore, spotlights can act as a deterrent to potential criminals. With their bright beams cutting through the darkness, they make your vehicle less appealing to those up to no good. Plus, if you find yourself in dimly lit areas, such as parking lots or secluded spots, having spotlights can provide a sense of security by illuminating your surroundings. Lastly, let's not forget about the practicality of spotlights. If you use your vehicle for work or utility purposes, they can be a real game-changer. Need to load or unload cargo in low-light conditions? Spotlights have got your back. They provide ample lighting, ensuring you can efficiently carry out your tasks. Whether you're setting up camp, working on projects, or just need some extra illumination for those night time adventures, spotlights make it all easier and more convenient. So, my friend, that's why you need a new set of spotlights for your vehicle. When selecting spotlights, consider factors like brightness, beam pattern, durability, and ease of installation. With the right set of spotlights, your vehicle will become a beacon of light, enhancing your driving experience, safety, and overall enjoyment of your journey.
Hey Shauno love your work and would love some LED spotties. About to head off on a 7 week trip from SEQ out to Innamincka, Birdsville, Boulia and then the plenty Highway to the Alice. Coming home from the red centre via Kakadu back to SEQ. On the trip back may have to do some night driving and would love the road and side lite up like a chrisse tree.
