Driving lights for Alloy Sovereign Bullbar

[whiteman Member Find all posts View Profile Close whiteman]

I was shopping for new lights for my latest Prado. Went to TGM 1st and the sales guy wanted to sell me Hella 1000's as "these are the only ones that fit". I have 1000's on the old Prado and they are not good. This guy was adament that nothing else works on that bullbar cause there's no room - he claims he was a fitter (he can't sell). I was dumbfounded.

Went round the corner to ARB and they will happily sell and install IPF 900s which are much bigger than the Hellas.

Anyone else come across this and anyone had trouble fitting lights to the factory alloy bullbar?

You gotta wonder about some sales folk... Unless the Sov. bar has changed, mine are installed in a 2008 Prado.

Here is the IPF 900 XS installed; as you can see, plenty of room!



Cheers,

Hella 4000 compacts, Hella Rallye 4000, IPF, lightforce, Cibie, Roo lights, Stalkers, Turino's they all fit, Guy was definiently a Wonker....

I would be ringing his boss telling him so and saying it lost them a sale.

Some of the bigger spotties protrude past the front of the bar slightly, which may be damaged in wildlife crashes. They wont stick out much but.

I have a set of [b]XGT Light Force [/b]fitted to my 08 GXL ( did it myself with the help of Ryan at Light Forces Head Office) used a genuine Light force harness as well. Will upload pics soon.
