Nope
As long as they are switched and treated like full beams they are fine
 :D

mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
so its okay to have 6 extra lights on full beam on the road if there all 55w

how come lorrys with trailers type dont use them then :-k

thermidorthelobster:
If you have the option to select whether or not the spotlights come on with full beam, then you can use them off-road and leave things as-is on-road.

Most lorrys have dim/dip spots which work with the vehicles dim/dip system
Warn do a selection of lights in the same manor
G4 vehicles have them fitted.

Actually the road traffic regulations quite clearly state that a motor vehicle can only have 2 forward facing dip beam lamps on at any one time. Dim/dip spotlights are illegal to use on the road in this country. You can have sidelights lit permanently (i.e. angel eye things)

IIRC you can have as many lights as you want on main beam...

I actually find that having my 4 spotlights on as well as my 2 A bar ones on main beam is a waste of time as they don't significantly add anything as far as greater visibility. I was most disappointed that as far as road use is concerned my 2 mini 55w spots on the A bar are as useful as the 4 55W above.

However the 4 above are useful when wading at night as you can leave your main headlights off and just drive by the spots. That way you don't get exploding bulbs when cold water hits hot headlight bulb!
