Driving Lamps by madchef on Sat Aug 02, 2008 12:40 pm
Stuffed this in here as not sure which araea to go into.

Been given a set of new driving lamps for the truck.They are rectangular 55w halogens.

The problem I have is where to mount them.Also do I need a fitting kit or can they be directly wired into my existing light circuit??
The old circular ones currently in place are constantly steamed up in warm weather and there seems to be no way to cure this.Do I just replace them or fit the new ones as well.The front of the truck seems a little short of space for an extra set but you guys know to much so I trust your judgement.

Now I know some of you would suggest a light bar on the roof but that is out of bounds.( By order of Mrs Madchef!!)
Replies please

Andi, I go along with Smiffy mate, rectangular ones go better with the headlamps anyway.
