Small spotlight recommendations....
I'm looking for a pair of decent small-ish spotlights for my Foz. Gotta dump the Narva 175s to let air in the grill and looking for something to replace em.
I dont need to cook the retinas of small animals 1000 meters away, I just need some dcent lights... low profile.... medium cost.... decent output.
Any recommendations?

Do you have roof rails? If so they are a perfect spot for wiring. I have set of cheapo flood lights underneath by roof racks that I use on windy roads as my roolights are too bright and I get blinded by those damn yellow signs inthe corners... these floodlights are aimed out to the side so I can see around corners and the nature strip for wombats/roos.
Basically what I did was pull the ceiling hood lining out at the front, undo the front bolts of the roof rails and pull em up enough to get access to the holes. One of the holes in the roof will be oval to allow for easy fitting of the roof rails - into this extra space goes your wiring. Within the roof rail foot itself is usually hollow, so I drilled a hole the diameter of my two wires wide on the roof rail and threaded the wires through that and into the roof rack. The light is then mounted into the roof rack and the wiring is all tucked into that too so its nice and neat. Got it all done and now its started blowing a fuse repeatedly so I gotta look through all the bloody wiring again and see if its shorting somewhere... oh and I ran the wiring underneath the plastic facia on the A pilliar and then down the side near the pedals where I've put the relay.
Hope that make sense!
Cheers,
Owen.

I thought that roof lights were illegal and must have covers over them while driving an the road. Also much more obvious than hids
I have narva 155's with ebay 55w hid conversion and will never look back.
Even something like a narva ultra compact with a hid conversion will outshine most bigger lights with halogens and will only use 35w

the HIDs on my uncles turbo 06 foz (yes it is a family thing) has small lumps in the bumper, ive pulled them out by hand and see the unit but never seen them operate whatsoever
And im not sure about the roof mounted light thing.
I was under the impression if they faced forward they were illegal if above the centre line of the windscreen
