Has anyone tried the 4WD Supacentre Illuminator 9" Round LED Driving Lights? Their lumen output looks ok but that doesn't tell me much about where the light goes. I asked them for the beam pattern and they said they don't have that yet but are working on it. They also said they are selling 3000/month so hopefully someone has some and can report back!

They are okay... I have the model before these that looked like the ARB intensity and were quite a it more powerful, but they were forced to stop selling them due to legal action from ARB.
I had to do a warranty claim as the base/brackets rusted badly (supposed to be stainless, obviously very low grade). Customer service was terrible! I had to chase them several times for a response and they have just sent me a new set of the same brackets. I assume they too will rust the same as the last....

Hmmm, ok - not sounding too great so far! I could paint the brackets before I put them on (black to match the bull bar?) so I guess that's not a killer problem though it does make me worry about the overall quality.
What's the beam shape like? How much ends up on the road ahead/beside and how much in the trees above (spotting possums!)?

I'm not a guru when it comes to lights, but they light up the beach and fireroads really well. Mine came with spreader and standard covers, I just use the standard ones and they are probably 5-10 times brighter then my old lightforce 140's.
Agree peter_mcc, it will be interesting to see how long they last...2016 Toyota Prado GXL auto.

I seen them on other cars before I bought them and noticed the weathered paint. But I reckon adding a couple of coats of paint is a cheap compared to what you would have to pay for comparable units.
And if you mount them like I had to, they make the dogs balls seem inconspicuous.

I just resprayed the brackets with epoxy paint. They did rust quite a bit from a trip to Fraser Island. The bolts are also low grade, but the lights are a fraction of the price. I was contemplating replacing the bolts with stainless steel ones but in the end just used the originals again.
In hindsight, I should have painted the brackets before I installed them. I don't regret making this purchase.Prado 150 VX, ARB deluxe bull bar and plates, Dobinson suspension, Dominator winch, Rhino platform, Redarc BCDC 1225lv, Optima Bluetop 55ah,

Really happy with mine, they are a lot of light for the money with a good combination of spread and throw. I also bought their wiring harness which made installation simple, i just bought a better switch (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/331565715980) that fits in the Toyota blank.
Would definitely buy them again.2007 120 GXL D4D 6sp Man - My Rig https://www.pradopoint.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24945&d=1487341201
