What is on the market to equal the SUPER OSCAR Spot Driving Light?

 

Dark Roads at night, need white light

 

Yes, yellow will be added for depth 

 

Thanks

I have always liked the old-school Hella 500FFs.

You can still buy LED Super Oscars.

The thing with those is that they are a pencil beam, at least the ones I've used.  They'll throw light a mile forward and a foot to the side.  Not useful unless you're on a very straight road.

 

The first time I used mine, it lit up the back of a semi like a reflector, when before I could barely see the running lights way off on the horizon.  I stopped using them after that except for night rallycrosses, where I discovered that they were equally useless there unless I made them very crosseyed.

He did ask about a driving spot so...

This is two 500FFs and the OEM sealed beams on Sanford. They work very well together. I seldom need light close to the vehicle. I like the FF500s because they reach way down the road.

They also make the regular 500s if you want a wider pattern.

I bought this set of Hella 2000s a few years ago. The previous owner road rallied and you can clearly see four different lenses. He covered everything from fog/flood to pencil beam, which I thought made a lot of sense.

I put LED Hella 500s on the Expedition a few years back:

I was happy with them. They were cheap ($170 for the pair) and put out a E36 M3-ton of light.

That he did

 

Throw in some low and close yellow for depth perception

 

All set
