I have notice a few of you have these flash blue covers on your IPF's. What is the differnce between these and the clear covers.... apart from looking really cool??//

I am no expert but if you see some of the up market cars ie BMW have a real blue look to their lights, i am assuming they do the same and throw a brighter light, i am getting a set for the roo lights.

PS, they are only cool on the right colour car, ie white, silver, blue?? i wouldn't have them on any other colour, just my 2 cents.

I have the blue covers on my Lightforce and it makes the light whiter and clearer than with the clear covers.

HI all

Anyone with the IPF blue covers on the 900XS?

If so, do the covers fit snuggly on the lights? Is there much of a gap between the light glass and the covers?

I have the clear IPF covers which sit close and snug to the lights, but the blue IPF covers ones I just got are sitting a ways off the light and dont seem to fit correctly!!

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
Borgy

I didn't see this post when I did a search and then a post in a different section, but maybe I will get some replies this way.

Do blue covers restrict the effective distance of the lightforce 240 or others who have blue covers?

A similar question was just posted by dirtracker under the title "Which lights, Lightforce or IPF"?

Absolutely right, but do you have an answer?

[dirttracker Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close dirttracker]

Lightforce 240's but it should be the same for all lights if it is true.

It basically comes down to how it looks on the vehicle - There was a study done on Snowplough Operators http://trb.metapress.com/content/npux05470232030v/ but it has more to do with the placement of lights on the vehicle. Other studies such as this one http://www.lightingresearch.org/prog...01-01-0320.pdf have shown that whilst there may be some advantage to using yellow fog lights for driving tasks conventional yellow lights do not offer any advantage.

Looking through the literature I have not been able to identify any advantage for using blue lights.

Mine fit very snug against the lense face, same as the clear ones.
