Just get a set of IPF from ARB (round) use 90/130 globes and a ARB loom.
Ive had them in round and they were very good.

Round put out more light too as top of reflector isnt chopped off.

I to put quarts halogen lights in as well but took them out and opted for sealed beams and driving lights as i was forever filling the halogen lights up with water and it stuffed the lens

True there is one there. Ive only just started learning how to use the stick/arc welder ( blue one ) and i can use the oxy for cutting ( prefer grinder ) and heating ( nothin beats it ) but not for welding.
All will come in good time.... Everytime i go near panel with anything to modify it i blow holes in it, thats y im learning to braize....

cheers,
