Currently I have two narva ultima 175 blue style pencil beams and am happy with them, however I need more light focused on the shoulder of the road. I was thinking these...

as I have limited room on my bullbar and they are quite slimline so i can mount them under my headlights on the bar. They are only for lighting up the shoulder of the road.
Any thoughts? Anyone used them?
cheers in advance.

Let us know how you go because I was thinking of getting something from the same seller.
55W globes aren't exactly going to set the roadside grass on fire and you lose some lighting efficiency going from a round housing to one that is in that slimline shape, but if you're aware of those two issues then they should do what you want them to do. Since they have removable lamps you could always ramp them up to 90W or something if you want to.
They are a useful shape for some applications, just looking at them. They'd probably make a good pair of reversing lights too, at lest on some rear bars.
Cheap enough anyway.

I was thinking of higher wattage bulbs in them, if they melt the housing it is not the end of the world. If they are not up to standard they will do nicely for reversing lights.
