240 xgt lightforce? worth it or not??

Post by Ray_215 »

Was just in the local auto shop and was looking at the roo lite 220xp and the lightforce lights. Dont know what to choose. whether it be roolite 220xp, lightforce blitz 240, or the 240 xgt. They xgts were priced at 515 each, so they are alot more expensive, but was wondering if they were worth the extra money?

I would get the XGT's, wouldnt bother with roo ligths and the 240 blitz has a skinny frame and the ligths shake on dirt roads. the XGT are way stronger.

$515ea might be for the HID version???

I reckon I paid $225 each ($450 for the pair) for standard XGTs about 12 mths ago at my local 4wd shop in Adelaide.

Pigs rectum they do.
I've tried IPF and Narva driving lights before I bought my 240 Blitz's and they didn't shake and neither do these. The only time I have had shaking issues with any light actually was when I mounted some on one of those crappy light mounts you can get that screw behind your number plate and it wasn't the lights that were faulty, the mounting was.

I've had these lights for three vehicles and nine years now and they are still the best light I have driven behind.

for a hundred bux more a pair i would be inclined to go the XGTs purely as the reflector is harder to steal
