How to Choose the Right Driving Lights
-
Light Intensity and Brightness: The brightness of the lights, often measured in lumens, determines how well you can see in the dark. Consider the intensity required for your specific needs, keeping in mind that a higher lumen count usually means better visibility.
-
Beam Pattern: LED driving lights typically offer spot, flood, or combo beam patterns. Spot beams provide long-distance illumination, while flood beams offer a broader and wider illumination. Combo beams provide a mix of both. Choose a pattern that suits your driving conditions and terrain.
-
Quality of LED Chips: The brand and quality of LED chips used in the lights play a significant role in their performance and longevity. Look for trusted brands like Osram, Cree, or Phillips for reliability.
-
Durability and Build: Off-road driving can be tough on your lights. Ensure the lights are constructed with robust materials like aluminium housings and polycarbonate lenses. Features like shock resistance, waterproofing, and dustproofing (IP ratings) are crucial for durability.
-
Size and Shape: The size and shape of the lights should match your vehicle's setup and your mounting preferences. Larger lights might be more powerful but could limit mounting options.
-
Wiring and Installation: Check if the lights come with a complete wiring harness and switch. If not be sure to add a wiring harness to the cart.
-
Your Specific Needs: Consider your typical driving conditions, whether it's overland adventures, rock crawling, or high-speed desert runs. The choice of lights should align with your specific needs and preferences.
If you’re often driving in low-visibility conditions like fog, rain or dust, it’s worth understanding how different beam types perform when the weather turns bad. Our guide on which lights to use in fog explains how to choose the right setup for safer driving in poor conditions and how to position your lights for the best visibility.
Choosing the right set of driving lights can significantly improve your driving experience, not to mention safety in challenging conditions. Take your time to evaluate your options, and don't hesitate to contact us for any additional questions or some guidance.
FAQ
What size driving lights should I choose for my 4WD?
Most 4WD owners opt for 7-inch or 9-inch driving lights. The 7-inch size offers a balanced beam and compact fit, while 9-inch lights deliver greater reach and brightness—ideal for highway and open-country driving.
What’s the difference between spot, flood, and combo beams?
Spot beams project light further down the road for long-range visibility. Flood beams spread light across a wider area, perfect for slow off-road travel. Combo beams combine both for distance and width in one light.
Are LED driving lights better than HID or halogen?
Yes. LED driving lights are more efficient, last longer, and draw less power while providing a clearer, whiter light. They’re also tougher against vibration and temperature changes—perfect for off-road use.
What IP rating should I look for in driving lights?
Choose lights rated IP67 or higher. This means they’re fully sealed against dust and can handle water immersion up to 1 metre, ensuring reliable performance in harsh weather and muddy terrain.
Do driving lights need to be wired into the high beam circuit?
Yes. Under Australian Design Rules (ADR), driving lights must be wired to operate only with your vehicle’s high beam. This prevents dazzling oncoming drivers and keeps your setup road legal.
Can I install driving lights myself?
Many modern kits include plug-and-play wiring harnesses for easy DIY installation. If you’re not confident with vehicle wiring, a licensed auto electrician can install them safely and ensure compliance.
Are these driving lights compatible with most bull bars?
Yes. Most 7-inch and 9-inch driving lights use standard mounting brackets that suit common bull bar setups. Always check your bar’s pre-drilled mounting holes or use universal brackets if needed.
How can I reduce glare or vibration from my driving lights?
Ensure your lights are mounted securely with vibration-dampening washers and aimed correctly. Avoid over-tightening brackets, and use quality wiring to minimise flicker and beam shake during rough terrain driving.
