Upgraded Lights
tack43:
I've used those very lights with "bright white" bulbs. It's got to be 10 times better than standard sealed beams, but, as zulublue said they need to be sealed. I've done virtually the same sealant wise and had no water ingress after several submersions. Same cannot be said for the cab. :grin:

Hiya
Anyone got a link for these Wipac Quadoptics lights?
DogVanMan:
Try ebay Mark. There are five ads on there currently for them.
That said, I am running the clear lens Wipacs that you first asked about with Phillips x-treme power bulbs. I've waterproofed them as described above. The light is outstanding, with a very broad even spread. I was running quadoptics with the same bulbs before I made the change and the clear lens ones are definitely a bit better with these particular bulbs (I can't speak for any other combination). The cut-off on low beam is sharper, like modern cars, which means I can adjust them slightly higher without blinding people. There's not much in it though.
I'm not far from you, if you want to come over one night and have a look for yourself, you're welcome.
