Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all,
I have just installed underbody lights on the Zook and thought some of you may be interested. After some searching about I discovered that there are waterproof pond lights available that work spot-on. The brand is Nelson and they were marketed as "Botanica". 20W. or 50W. 12 volt QI lamps , totally waterproof and a decent thick slab of glass for the lens. They come with a bracket that enables you to pivot them to any angle and a good length of elec. lead. Drill an extra hole in the bracket. Run them through an illuminated switch in the cab and then to the aux. battery after an in-line fuse (10A). Best position in front is under the jack on the inner guard aimed at front end of the tailshaft and at the rear where the floor pan angles up to the tray area. Not only are they a big help on hard night runs but look bloody cool too!!

Nice find Pat, I have ben looking for a decent set of rock lights!!

Pics ????

A picture says a thousand words.

is this it ??

Tell us the price son...

Any chance of pics of the lights in position......they sound like just the thingk for XL-7 to help me find a parking spot when in the underground car park down the mall

$23 each (+$9 P&P per order)

Probably cheaper at Bunnings, Miter10, Magnet Mart or outdoor garden center.

I was going to use somthing like this for reversing lamps, but vibrations would kill them.

I now want to use these luxeon LED lights, even though they are probably expensive and the manufacturer dosent sell to the public.
They have the Bling factor too....



More info on these can be found here http://www.soluscorp.com.au/product6.html

They look good, would love to see a night pic with them lighting up the ground.

I reckon neon's would be cooler though

almost the offroad version of neons

You can buy these LED's at jaycar.

Or off ebay, but these have waterproof bling alloy housings and would be sooo easy to mount.

these may be a good compromise @ $33 each

Had the same thought of using these. Was told the prongs at the back are very delicate though. Still thinking of doing it though. As my brother made lights for his bike with 12v downlights.

As long as the bulb mount/housing holds it firmly then the pins would probably not be a problem .... go and buy a $4 glass one and try and bend them, they're pretty tough

is this the same pat that one the derwent valley ramp day?

Yes Bad Ju-Ju, you found them. Yes they are available at Mitre 10, 50w unit about $35 and yes Spike Sierra It was me who was lucky enough to win the Ramp Day Of the Derwent Valley Club. 653 RT.I. with a SPUA was quite good I thought.

spua with climax mega droop. havnt seen your zook around much

Well Spike, you'll have to join the Derwent Valley 4WD Club and come out with all the other Zooks,eh?
