Hi i live in south africa i have a security company and our main focus is anti-poaching i have recently bought a new ford ranger and i am in need of some good lighting as most of our work is done at night thanks for the great show guys keep it up
Your spotlights are turned off more times than on On the highway up there Waste of time if you drive on major highways Just too much traffic to use them properly
Bought my first fourbie which is a Prado. Will be driving to Rockhampton from Brissy every weekend, to see my kids, and usually at night or dawn. Set of these bad boys sure would make me live longer mate. Haha! Cheers.
Shoutout to Shauno and the 4WD 24-7 team. For the opportunity, living my dream. If I win those Stedi spoties, you'll see, My 7-year-old son, he'll be screaming with glee. Ever since he watched your thousand buck track, My little man's been hooked, ain't no turning back, He's a fan of the show, knows every line, And winning those spoties would truly be divine.
Love your channel. Research shows that the light levels for older adults should be increased by at least 50% over those needed by younger people. As someone in my mid 70’s, who still enjoys off road driving, I really need these LED lights to replace my Cibie Oscars which seem to be getting dimmer as I age.
My son bought his first car and is quickly learning how much it costs to mod a 4x4. He is working part time and puts most his money towards his car. He is currently saving some coin to put toward a set of lights and mate, he would be so chuffed opening a surprise box with Stedi Type X Evos in there!!!! Love your vids, keep up the great work......
Great video and very informative. Since the birth of our daughter a few weeks ago I’ve started to rethink how our vehicle is set up for camping and touring. Previously I hadn’t really considered driving lights an essential requirement but now, anything I can do to make travel safer for my family is a good thing. We are planning a road trip from Newcastle to Tassie later this year and the Stedi’s would be a very welcome addition. Best of luck everyone!
Hey mate. Planning the same trip (from Sydney not Newcastle) it will need to be short though. Do you reckon 7 nights in Tasmania is enough to see much of the island?
Hey mate, me and all my mates love watching your videos when I watched this video I couldn’t pass up the chance. My dads got a Toyota Land Cruiser and we both love it, we putting all the energy and effort into making it all rigged up. I’ve been looking all around trying to find hight beams like this. I reckon he be over the moon if I could get these for him. Thank you for give me this chance.
Great video Shauno, very well put together and timely as I’m just scouting the internet looking at the many options of LED driving lights after hitting a roo at 90km/h at night. The mighty Pajero survived the impact luckily but certainly made me realize it’s time for a set of spot lights!
Finally someone who knows what they are talking about. Being saying similar for years. I am looking at a set of these for our school bus I drive in the upper murray. Deer are hard to see at night, and when driving back from Albury to Corryong, it's a challenge seeing them. We have a cheap set until our finances mean we can donate a set to the community bus we use.
Love the video Shauno! My fourbie needs a fair few upgrades as it's quite stock and not having to save up for a set spotties would be a dream, especially for daily driving as most of my driving is during the night and the normal headlights need a helping hand! Keep up the great work!
This vid came at a perfect time, I turned 18 early april, and all within a week got my license, bought my hilux, and drove up to work in the Kimberly. Now I've been up here for a bit I'm looking to upgrade the old lightbar that is on the Lux, and the stedi's would be absolutely ideal for both the roads up north here, and back home in the Victorian highcountry!
Let’s be honest, none of us NEED these spotties, but they are wicked cool and anyone on here would be stoked on them! This would be my first Aussie product as I live in the states. Always love seeing what these Aussie companies are making for the fourbie community
speak for your self mate, if you live outside of the city or spend a lot of time there you NEED spotlights, unless you only drive in daylight. My truck has spots and light bar, all our other cars have light bars.
@@yarpos so what spotties do you have on your rig? I didn’t say spotties weren’t needed, I said these high dollar spotties aren’t needed. Most I’ve seen run the cheap Amazon specials. Why I said anyone would be stoked to get this set.
@yarpos Part of his reply is in USA "we can not run them on road" legally. I've got a mixture of floods and " spotty's " on my "fourbie's" no "Roo's" to run in roads but whitetails, moose, antelope, cattle ect ect. . Hitting a moose can be deadly in N. America. Another Yank here, that follows a few 4 Wheel things from there... 👍
Speak for yourself, I NEED BOTH SPOT AND FLOOD LIGHT for night driving. Here you have cows, sheep, reindeer and elk that run out into the road or just stand in the middle of the road blocking it with an entire reindeer flock. If I do not have good lights I would have to drive snow as snail, with good lights I can actually see them better during the night then in the day.
It’s not the fact I need new ones it’s more so the fact I don’t have any at all !! Been trying to build my truck on a budget. Have done acouple trips and had to rely on the spot lights of the vehicles in front which ofc has led to afew punctures and other sorts of damage. Not ideal at all so the have had to put more mods on hold to cover the repair costs ! Have been waiting for the new stedi spotties to come out and have been trying to save a dollar where I can to one day afford them 👌🏻 love the show and all the advice and tips you guys give !! Keep it up
Great show and very informative. You mention IP68 and 3m of water but the thing most people don't consider is driving down the highway at 80km/h in pouring rain, this is when you are going to get potential ingress as the speed forces the water in every hole. Another is a hot light being splashed with cold water, hot lights expand increasing the opportunities for water ingress. IP68 or IP69 tested and certified is the only answer to this and Stedi have stood by their products for many years ensuring your money is well spent. Love the channel and a set of Stedi lights would look fine on the front of my Everest.
I NEED THOSE SPOTTIES SHAUNO because I moved to the US and I just bought a 1994 Toyota 4runner, or Hilux surf as they're called back home. Its stock as a rock in mint condition so I can't wait to get it ready for the tracks out here. I watch all of your videos and it makes me miss home so much, thats why I went and got me a fourby! Might even tag a pic of the rig for beers in the shed when she's ready!
Cleared up alot of myths, Cheers. Living 30km out of down down a track with the regular dive home at night a set of spotties are a must, but the price of living is limiting the mods to the car. Every month i try to pack the family up and head off the beaten track to find free camps and cool farm camps for the weekend, usually arriving pretty late trying to dodge the roos, so it would be nice to se them before hitting them.
Just purchased my first 4x4. These spotlights would take my 4x4 to a whole new level. I would use these spotlights especially for driving on beaches like up at double island point and out on old country roads. Cheers!
Fello 80 driver here!!!!!! I’m planning on doing my first cape trip and my cheap dull spotties have shit the bed and decided to go on their own holiday so these will save me a few tanks of fuel, probably the best tanks of fuel I’ll do yet 🤘🏼 cheers legend
Your 4x4 videos inspired me to get a 4x4 myself. I am slowly building it up for more longer trips to explore the beauty that Ausie has to offer. With these lights night driving would be another amazing sight to see and keep us safe in the Ute.
Can’t help but enjoy all the knowledge and tips you give…. Mind you I shudder at what you do to your vehicles…. I’ve been watching and learning from you since I purchased my BT50 Ute last year…… we live in Regional SA, so my lovely lady would really appreciate some extra vision considering our regular eye to eye contact with Kangaroos every time we travel……
Hey mate, been watching your videos and they are deadly to watch. I would love those spotties as I crontract on stations in the Gawlers ranges and as you can imagine the roos are like ants down this way! Keep up the work boss 👍🏽
Recently bought an LN106, currently rebuilding her, shes stripped sanded and about to raptor line, it already has some ebay special lights on there and lets be honest, its that slow it wouldnt pull the skin back on my old fella, i reckon i could drive in the dark and not need to worry about hitting anything at the speed the old girl achieves but a couple of flash new spotties would still be a nice addition to the rebuild, great vid shauno, legend.
I've just purchased a 2003 Gu3 wagon with 351k Kms on the clock. I can desperately do with some lights, but since the car was over budget I had to really stretch to get it and therefore can't afford those amazing Stedi's which I reckon would look amazing in front of my rig. Would be stoked to get my hands on them. Also you guys are awesome, never miss a show! Thanks!
Cheers Shauno. I've recently bought my first 4wd and just took it out for its first camping trip last night! Super exciting. I don't have spotties yet and so after the sun set I was relying on my normal headlights to see where I was going. Pretty sketchy. I realized then that spotties are the next thing that I need for my 4wd. Would love to win some! Cheers. Loving all your videos. Will
Just got a new job where I need to drive 4 hours away on rural roads at night. These would be perfect to install onto my grille guard! My friend hit a deer recently on the same road, so I’m hoping to see them so I can avoid the same fate. Thanks for a great video!
Doing a chopped 80 build as a 16 year old and anything helps the build out. The video was super helpful and will definitely consider all this when buying lights
Hello Gentlemen. Long time fan first post. It's likely been mentioned already but I didn't see it yet but LED alignment within the reflector is another huge indicator on the quality of Spot and Flood LEDs. Keep up the inspirational work! From Colorful Colorado in the states! Be well.
theses videos are awesome just what I needed to hear. why I need them is because I have got two blow bulbs in my old one and need something to replace. as my Wof said they needed fix. Best of luck to everyone!!!!!
Have grown up always opting for the kings lights as they’re all which was affordable in my budget. I have always told dad he should get some spotties for his car because he has never had any. I really think would make his driving safer then ever before; I really wanna give back to the man they gave back most to me.
Why do I need a new set of spotties? Easy, I am getting myself a Van (Iveco Daily) for a DIY conversion to a Motorhome so I can become a Grey Nomad and explore more of our Great Country. Am not retiring the GU Patrol ute 4.2TD just yet. Good work Shauno, Keep the shiny side up. Cheers, Bryce.
Nice vid Shauno. Great to see you filming in my neck of the woods. Recognized it straight away. The first roads I drove when I was old enough to drive. I'd love a pair Stedi Type X Evo's for my LN106 ponylux. She's been in the family for 24 out of 26 years. I grew up in it, and now I've inherited it off my Dad after 470,000km it's my turn to raise my kids the Toyota way. The old luxy would really benefit from some a set of these mint driving lights. Thanks Shauno.
I took my old lightforce lights off because I thought they were restricting airflow causing the overheating problem I had, in that time they were off the ex missus took em and sold em, now I have none, would love a new set so I can blind her on the road next time we meet haha
Great explanation and great reason for a set of new lights on my old 80 series. I am so sick and tired of driving by braille at night. Keep up the good work guys.
great to see your trying to help people while plugging your pocket with those awesome looking stedi units. It may be a good idea to inform people about road regs when it comes to Lights, here in vic if they are forward of your "B" piller or behind or above your bull bar bar they are considered camping lights and the switch must not be able to be reach by the the driver while driving, This why I need the Stedi lights because I got defected and had to disconnect my roof mounted light bar which doesn't fit my bar, those steady units would make my rig shine day and night. keep the information coming, well done .
Yet another quality Australian product those lights. They look far superior compared to other lights out there. I'm restoring a 1993 pajero swb with my old man. He's now getting out of navigational rallying but I'm now getting into it. Getting these lights would get me closer to having my dream rig rally ready.
I could definitely use a set of those! They would have prevented me driving my Ford F150 into a pond as I crested a hill following my friend's up a trail that literally went around the edge of the pond I came up the hill and didn't see it in time and dunked my front end in the water luckily the Boyes were quick to hook up to us and pull us out before my motor took on water! We saved my truck but what if I was alone I would have lost my truck! Love the show guys keep up the Great work!
Just bought my first car, A Mitsubishi Triton. Was driving home after first buying it and by mere dumb luck a big roo jumped out in front of me, and thought it great to stop in the middle of the road. Nearly had some dinner, had the breaks not just been done. Less than an hour owning the car haha. A nice set of spotties may be helpful avoiding this and great for a planned Cape Trip. Best of Luck everyone!
I would love a set of spot lights, I watch all your videos as soon as they come out, the help motivate me to modify my Zd30 patrol and go out prospecting.
Just got myself a new 4wd and wanting to kit it up and complete the big lap, these lights would be a amazing addition to my new rig. Once again awsome and informative video glad to see some scientific fact in there as well
My brother is just starting rebuilding his Hilux and a good set of lights would make the most awesome gift, and save quite a lot of $$. Thanks for the vid, I learned a lot!
Shaun, we are in the process of waiting for our MUX to arrive. As an older (seniors) couple we know that some really good spotlights are going to be an absolute must. Our eyes aren't that great at night. 😂😂😂. We have been talking about spotties and my goodness these are some good-looking spotties. Hope we are in with a chance.
Mate, love how tech just keeps pushing everywhere we look! These stedis look incredible, would make a massive difference to my early morning High country commutes to work. Those Roos are mental.
Hi guys, we’re only a couple of weeks away from picking up our new Ranger Sports and then to slowly start fitting it out. The info in here has certainly helped me out, I’m trying to watch as many of your videos to help us select what’s right for our 4x4… Keep it up and the giveaways certainly help as the costs these days are getting out of hand.
Just brought my first car and it needs a a new set of everything 🤣. Good old Toyota Hilux KZN165. A set of new spotties would let me be able to spend some money on other parts. Keen to get out bush with some mates when the cars done 🤙🏼
Well sadly I live in Nashville Tennessee. But I still want to say I’d love to own a set of stedi lights someday for my 5th gen 4runner. I’ve got an arb bumper and have some good rigid 6” lights that I love. But stedis are my dream lights. I love y’all’s show and am forever grateful for it. It’s gotten me through some rough times the last few years and I’m forever grateful for y’all’s insight and love for off roading. Someday I’m coming to Australia and would love to at least meet you guys! Keep doing what you are doing!
I have recently bought an 80 series cruiser as my first car. It came with old rusty IPF spotlights that didn't work, and I have been looking for new ones ever since
Finally a lighting video with some accurate info, I'm so sick of seeing all the posts saying "lightbars are for spread and round lights are for distance" Should have also touched on the illegal and dangerous low beam LED bulbs lots of 4wds run these days blinding everyone on the road, and proper use of fog and spot lights
maaate, this video is heaps helpful just quick and to the point. explains a lot of stuff that people dont even think about, its great. reason why i need new spotties? well ive got my first 4x4 rig and im doing up a bullbar to throw on it and of course i need some spotties to go with. i do plenty of nighttime driving especially out bush and having some good light would help a tonne. cheers shauno!
Np300 is out and the new 63 has arrived! Need a set of new candles to light the path to get me home to watch the weekly episodes! Love the content guys
Hey, been watching for years and love to tour videos, just bought my first 4WD and so keen to upgrade it and make it my own and would love some good lights. cheers keep up the good work!!
Heading on a overdue road trip with a mate in November. I’m heading East in WA from Coolgardie to Hyden on a 4by track these spot lights would be a huge help to dodge the Roos. Keep up the good work lads, love the episodes.
Great video shauno! My old man has just ordered his dream car and those stedi lights would look wicked on it. He needs them as he drives alot in the dark and they would get a proper work out!
Great video of the spotties mate, reason why I need some new lights is that I'm still running old narva spotties, just don't cut it when you are trying to miss all the pot holes in Vic.
Amazng video. So much good accurate info. I could use a set of lights for my stock Jeep Wrangler. The headlights are like candels and I am moving to KY for med school. Going to be dodging a lot of deer. As a daily driver these lights will save me driving at night in rural KY. Thanks Shauno!
About to tackle the mighty Maddison Line thru the Simpson… couldn’t think of anything better than cruising along in the evening with a new set of EVO’s blazin’ the trail ahead
Hi Shaun, thank you for the information. I picked this vid as we were looking for information on what to get. We are trying not to go overboard with our new 4x4, but have recently driven in central Australia and realized having good night time driving lights will help us travel better and safer. The competition was a bonus ;)
Love the channel! I need a new set for my new daily! Driving through the dark mountain roads every day is no good with the stock headlights! Good luck everyone!
You've opened my eyes and lights to the way I should use them. Currently high beams is my only vision down the road. So far the roo's are safe and my truck!
I've just bought my first newer car 2 weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to have a bulbar previously installed. I am heading up to Townsville for a camping trip with a few of the lads from work, well be up there for a fair while, I've had a few encounter with kangaroos in my old 75 series and one of the last roo's I saw took out my whole front end. If that happened to my new car i would be devastated. So a set of spotties on the front would do wonders for me. Great video Shauno, loving the content.
These spotties would be a total game-changer for my nav when I'm tearing up the beach and the sun goes down, these bad boys would become my own personal sun lighting up the sand and keeping me safe and letting me enjoy the view and also show off a little. Believe me once I try em I'll never want to hit the beach without em.
New set of stedi’s would help detect all the wildlife encountered and constant strikes I’ve got going to work every week in the high country 110km through the bush, 1am in the morning im lucky to pass one other vehicle, need those stedis to protect the cruiser for sure, informative vid thanks shauno
Hey Shauno, thanks for the video. So informative - even the misso watched it and commented that she understood a bit more about why I want better driving lights!!! I'm kitting out a 2021 LC200 and currently don't have lights so these would be awesome and help light up the dark roads in WA. Cheers mate. PJ
I'm way out in Canada and starting this winter, I'll be doing a decent amount of driving on our high mountain roads out in British Columbia, so good lightning is gonna be imperative. Nice video 👍
Here good lights is a must have for night driving with sheep, elk, reindeer and cows blocking the road at random... Looong time ago I was driving at night and a rather large flock of reindeer was blocking the road and I did not see them because of the poor lights on my 1993 model Opel Astra, I had to drive slalom between them while slowing down, and I did miraculously avoid hitting any of them. After that I mounted two Hella Rally 3000 and put in 100W halogen bulbs in them, and my car`s dynamo was giving out 14,8v so it was a LOT more then 100W :) Best lights I ever had, they was even more powerful then 50W Xeon. Only now with 170w LED`s I see lights that give the same distance and spread of light. With the 100W bulbs in the Rally 3000 you could see a wooden power poles at 1,500m distance along the road (I turned the lights upside down to give less light to near the car, that also help give more distance ).
Hey Mate Love the channel, not sure if it’s to late but I just brought an mux last year to take the kids traveling and being inspired by your channel to create an awesome build. Being a single dad makes it though. I’m keen on getting all the stedi headlights reverse lights etc, the lights up for grabs would make an awesome addition!! Love your work mate!! Cheers!
I have a light bar mounted on the roof spoiler on my 3,2m tall Ford Transit box van, but even mounted that high it give way to much light right in front of the car and it do not light up the road farther away so I pretty much never use it. I have now bought 2 more of the 25W high beam halogen alike LED lights that came with the car when I bought it that is mounted in the grill of the car in front. They work great to light up the road far ahead and give not to much light right in front of the car. Will mount them up high on the spoiler to give even better reach ahead together with two 170w LED high beam lights with many smaller LED and reflectors (hope they are better then the light bar that have way to much spread).
Love watching your vids Shauno! I’ve just bought my first 4x4 and got a ton of plans for it including a bunch of Stedi lighting. Once I’ve got all that together, it’s straight out into the bush for me and my rig.
To be honest Shauno, I don't even have any LED lights, my dad is too tight on money that he saids he'll never get a pair. We just got a camper that we love going to places with but when driving the long tyring straight roads at night, it's so obvious that just our standard driving lights are nowhere near what we need. the Stedi type X Evo would help out so much and would make the trips around the places a whole lot safer aswell. Hopefully I could be considered in the competition. Cheers Shauno and the rest of ya
Another very critical point about cheap led lights is the interference they can cause to modern electronics eg radio, two way and computers, hence the reason I don’t currently have any extra lighting.
Hi Shauno, love your videos and I am putting my hand up for these stedi spotties as when my daughter brought her prado all that was there was the stedi mounting bracket. I would love to get these and fit them for her as she is on shift work which means she is travelling to work and home in the dark most of the time. Love the antics you and the crowd get up to when you go traveling.
Hey Shauno! My 80 needs a set of these spotties for sure. Its still sporting some ancient Hella halogens and it needs to be dragged into the modern world so its driver can see at night on the long hauls to save the roo population!
Bloody ripper of a video like always Shauno 👌🏼 very informative and helpful. I would love the spotties to try and help keep my young family (6week and 2 year old) safe when driving bush roads at night. Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks for another awesome and informative video Shauno! My 4wd will definitely benefit from a new set of spotties as the stock headlights aren't the best and the high beam doesn't make much of a difference at all, so a new set of Type X Evo's will definitely aid in those night time drivings far from the city were visibility is minimum and when you are out in the bush searching for a campsite. These lights will definitely increase confidence when driving at night which will also make for a safer journey.
Not sure if I'm too late but loved the video. I'm new into the off roading space and am still using the light bar that the dealership fitted to our number plate.
Wow! who would have thought there was so much to consider when choosing LED spotties. Once again Shauno you have simplified the topic. Those STEDI would be a great replacement for my old IPF lights.
Just watched your video and you did a great job in explaining things in regards to spotties! My partner and I recently downgraded from our Ford Ranger because with my back issues, I was really struggling to get in and out, so we got a Nissan QASHQAI, which we love. We live in a regional area and night time driving can be hazardous at times. We've recently installed a good quality nudge bar in it and would love to finish her off with an awesome pair of spotties! Keep up the good work!
I just came back from a trip from Meandarra I have the bullbar but not the spotlights. 3am in the morning I lost count of the amount of kangaroos I saw. This video is a great source of information for people looking to buy, thanks Shauno.
Thanks guys for another great video!! I need a new set of Stedi Type X Evo spotties because my current HID's just aren't cutting it...I fitted a Stedi 3303 Pro bar and its awesome, but the colour temp difference and lower light output from the "other" brand HID's actually cause me eye strain, the Type X Evo's in a combo set would fix that eye strain and make offroad driving much safer for me! Cheers, Foxy!
Hi 24/7 Crew, Life for me is about to change big time. I've always been happy driving the missus car with the standard headlights, but that's all about to change with our first child due today(22nd) The more light the better to help us see down the road further to protect our little growing family.
Hi I am 23 and just picked up my first project. I got myself a 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser j120 and would love to start it off with a bullbar and those lights would be awesome on it. Love the videos and I’m a fairly new subscriber and your channel has really helped me learn more about what to get for my build🤙🏽
gday Shauno, I just bought a nudge bar to fit some lights on my rig, Im a bit hesitant from light bars and spotties, just started off roading and have got an 09 Colorado with the old halogen high beams, jeez they aren't bright enough to spot roos, I've hit 2 recently as I live on a backroad out of town, this video has helped with what I should put on, Thanks heaps
After putting the Xrox bar on I’ve got no fog spotlights and I’m putting the rhino rack on this weekend so it’s time for a light bar spotlights and lower fogs these ones you’ve shown look mint for the Mitsy. Upgrade break’s next and soon we are ready for ticking our bucket list “cape trip”
Hi i live in south africa i have a security company and our main focus is anti-poaching i have recently bought a new ford ranger and i am in need of some good lighting as most of our work is done at night thanks for the great show guys keep it up
Baja Designs S2 Squadron pro with UV lenses.
I want Stevie wonder to see me coming
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m an apprentice so having a pair of spotties would help me out a lot especially on the 2nd hand canopy I just bought
Why?
Planning on doing a trip up to cairns in august from the central coast and many more after that 😁
Your spotlights are turned off more times than on
On the highway up there
Waste of time if you drive on major highways
Just too much traffic to use them properly
Bought my first fourbie which is a Prado. Will be driving to Rockhampton from Brissy every weekend, to see my kids, and usually at night or dawn. Set of these bad boys sure would make me live longer mate. Haha! Cheers.
I’m using a set of 5 year old kings spotlights and love night driving. Really need these Stedi lights!!
Shoutout to Shauno and the 4WD 24-7 team.
For the opportunity, living my dream.
If I win those Stedi spoties, you'll see,
My 7-year-old son, he'll be screaming with glee.
Ever since he watched your thousand buck track,
My little man's been hooked, ain't no turning back,
He's a fan of the show, knows every line,
And winning those spoties would truly be divine.
Love your channel. Research shows that the light levels for older adults should be increased by at least 50% over those needed by younger people. As someone in my mid 70’s, who still enjoys off road driving, I really need these LED lights to replace my Cibie Oscars which seem to be getting dimmer as I age.
Yes me too, what you said.😂
My son bought his first car and is quickly learning how much it costs to mod a 4x4. He is working part time and puts most his money towards his car. He is currently saving some coin to put toward a set of lights and mate, he would be so chuffed opening a surprise box with Stedi Type X Evos in there!!!! Love your vids, keep up the great work......
Great video and very informative. Since the birth of our daughter a few weeks ago I’ve started to rethink how our vehicle is set up for camping and touring. Previously I hadn’t really considered driving lights an essential requirement but now, anything I can do to make travel safer for my family is a good thing. We are planning a road trip from Newcastle to Tassie later this year and the Stedi’s would be a very welcome addition. Best of luck everyone!
Hey mate. Planning the same trip (from Sydney not Newcastle) it will need to be short though. Do you reckon 7 nights in Tasmania is enough to see much of the island?
Hey mate, me and all my mates love watching your videos when I watched this video I couldn’t pass up the chance. My dads got a Toyota Land Cruiser and we both love it, we putting all the energy and effort into making it all rigged up. I’ve been looking all around trying to find hight beams like this. I reckon he be over the moon if I could get these for him. Thank you for give me this chance.
Great video Shauno, very well put together and timely as I’m just scouting the internet looking at the many options of LED driving lights after hitting a roo at 90km/h at night. The mighty Pajero survived the impact luckily but certainly made me realize it’s time for a set of spot lights!
Finally someone who knows what they are talking about. Being saying similar for years.
I am looking at a set of these for our school bus I drive in the upper murray. Deer are hard to see at night, and when driving back from Albury to Corryong, it's a challenge seeing them.
We have a cheap set until our finances mean we can donate a set to the community bus we use.
Love the video Shauno! My fourbie needs a fair few upgrades as it's quite stock and not having to save up for a set spotties would be a dream, especially for daily driving as most of my driving is during the night and the normal headlights need a helping hand! Keep up the great work!
This vid came at a perfect time, I turned 18 early april, and all within a week got my license, bought my hilux, and drove up to work in the Kimberly. Now I've been up here for a bit I'm looking to upgrade the old lightbar that is on the Lux, and the stedi's would be absolutely ideal for both the roads up north here, and back home in the Victorian highcountry!
Let’s be honest, none of us NEED these spotties, but they are wicked cool and anyone on here would be stoked on them! This would be my first Aussie product as I live in the states. Always love seeing what these Aussie companies are making for the fourbie community
speak for your self mate, if you live outside of the city or spend a lot of time there you NEED spotlights, unless you only drive in daylight. My truck has spots and light bar, all our other cars have light bars.
@@yarpos so what spotties do you have on your rig? I didn’t say spotties weren’t needed, I said these high dollar spotties aren’t needed. Most I’ve seen run the cheap Amazon specials. Why I said anyone would be stoked to get this set.
@yarpos
Part of his reply is in USA "we can not run them on road" legally. I've got a mixture of floods and " spotty's " on my "fourbie's" no "Roo's" to run in roads but whitetails, moose, antelope, cattle ect ect. . Hitting a moose can be deadly in N. America. Another Yank here, that follows a few 4 Wheel things from there... 👍
Speak for yourself, I NEED BOTH SPOT AND FLOOD LIGHT for night driving. Here you have cows, sheep, reindeer and elk that run out into the road or just stand in the middle of the road blocking it with an entire reindeer flock. If I do not have good lights I would have to drive snow as snail, with good lights I can actually see them better during the night then in the day.
It’s not the fact I need new ones it’s more so the fact I don’t have any at all !! Been trying to build my truck on a budget. Have done acouple trips and had to rely on the spot lights of the vehicles in front which ofc has led to afew punctures and other sorts of damage. Not ideal at all so the have had to put more mods on hold to cover the repair costs ! Have been waiting for the new stedi spotties to come out and have been trying to save a dollar where I can to one day afford them 👌🏻 love the show and all the advice and tips you guys give !! Keep it up
"LED diode" ? LED already means Light Emitting Diode
I need a new set of spotties to see all the open road in front of me now all the Nissan's are behind me! Awesome video mate.
Great show and very informative. You mention IP68 and 3m of water but the thing most people don't consider is driving down the highway at 80km/h in pouring rain, this is when you are going to get potential ingress as the speed forces the water in every hole. Another is a hot light being splashed with cold water, hot lights expand increasing the opportunities for water ingress. IP68 or IP69 tested and certified is the only answer to this and Stedi have stood by their products for many years ensuring your money is well spent. Love the channel and a set of Stedi lights would look fine on the front of my Everest.
I NEED THOSE SPOTTIES SHAUNO because I moved to the US and I just bought a 1994 Toyota 4runner, or Hilux surf as they're called back home. Its stock as a rock in mint condition so I can't wait to get it ready for the tracks out here.
I watch all of your videos and it makes me miss home so much, thats why I went and got me a fourby! Might even tag a pic of the rig for beers in the shed when she's ready!
Cleared up alot of myths, Cheers. Living 30km out of down down a track with the regular dive home at night a set of spotties are a must, but the price of living is limiting the mods to the car. Every month i try to pack the family up and head off the beaten track to find free camps and cool farm camps for the weekend, usually arriving pretty late trying to dodge the roos, so it would be nice to se them before hitting them.
Just purchased my first 4x4. These spotlights would take my 4x4 to a whole new level. I would use these spotlights especially for driving on beaches like up at double island point and out on old country roads. Cheers!
Finally, a 4x4 24/7 video for the everyday 4x4er!!!!!!!!!
Thankyou!
Fello 80 driver here!!!!!! I’m planning on doing my first cape trip and my cheap dull spotties have shit the bed and decided to go on their own holiday so these will save me a few tanks of fuel, probably the best tanks of fuel I’ll do yet 🤘🏼 cheers legend
Your 4x4 videos inspired me to get a 4x4 myself. I am slowly building it up for more longer trips to explore the beauty that Ausie has to offer. With these lights night driving would be another amazing sight to see and keep us safe in the Ute.
I've been trying to decide on new lights for ages now and this video answered some questions for me. Thanks!
Awesome video as always 4WD 24/7 Crew.
Can’t help but enjoy all the knowledge and tips you give…. Mind you I shudder at what you do to your vehicles…. I’ve been watching and learning from you since I purchased my BT50 Ute last year…… we live in Regional SA, so my lovely lady would really appreciate some extra vision considering our regular eye to eye contact with Kangaroos every time we travel……
Hey mate, been watching your videos and they are deadly to watch. I would love those spotties as I crontract on stations in the Gawlers ranges and as you can imagine the roos are like ants down this way! Keep up the work boss 👍🏽
Contract*
Recently bought an LN106, currently rebuilding her, shes stripped sanded and about to raptor line, it already has some ebay special lights on there and lets be honest, its that slow it wouldnt pull the skin back on my old fella, i reckon i could drive in the dark and not need to worry about hitting anything at the speed the old girl achieves but a couple of flash new spotties would still be a nice addition to the rebuild, great vid shauno, legend.
I've just purchased a 2003 Gu3 wagon with 351k Kms on the clock. I can desperately do with some lights, but since the car was over budget I had to really stretch to get it and therefore can't afford those amazing Stedi's which I reckon would look amazing in front of my rig. Would be stoked to get my hands on them. Also you guys are awesome, never miss a show! Thanks!
Cheers Shauno.
I've recently bought my first 4wd and just took it out for its first camping trip last night! Super exciting. I don't have spotties yet and so after the sun set I was relying on my normal headlights to see where I was going. Pretty sketchy. I realized then that spotties are the next thing that I need for my 4wd. Would love to win some!
Cheers. Loving all your videos.
Will
Getting a new Navara and building it into a tourer and hard core 4WD, Love the show been watching it for ages, it's the reason I started 4WDing
Just got a new job where I need to drive 4 hours away on rural roads at night. These would be perfect to install onto my grille guard! My friend hit a deer recently on the same road, so I’m hoping to see them so I can avoid the same fate.
Thanks for a great video!
Doing a chopped 80 build as a 16 year old and anything helps the build out. The video was super helpful and will definitely consider all this when buying lights
Hello Gentlemen. Long time fan first post. It's likely been mentioned already but I didn't see it yet but LED alignment within the reflector is another huge indicator on the quality of Spot and Flood LEDs.
Keep up the inspirational work! From Colorful Colorado in the states! Be well.
theses videos are awesome just what I needed to hear. why I need them is because I have got two blow bulbs in my old one and need something to replace. as my Wof said they needed fix. Best of luck to everyone!!!!!
Have grown up always opting for the kings lights as they’re all which was affordable in my budget.
I have always told dad he should get some spotties for his car because he has never had any. I really think would make his driving safer then ever before; I really wanna give back to the man they gave back most to me.
Why do I need a new set of spotties? Easy, I am getting myself a Van (Iveco Daily) for a DIY conversion to a Motorhome so I can become a Grey Nomad and explore more of our Great Country. Am not retiring the GU Patrol ute 4.2TD just yet. Good work Shauno, Keep the shiny side up. Cheers, Bryce.
Nice vid Shauno. Great to see you filming in my neck of the woods. Recognized it straight away. The first roads I drove when I was old enough to drive. I'd love a pair Stedi Type X Evo's for my LN106 ponylux. She's been in the family for 24 out of 26 years. I grew up in it, and now I've inherited it off my Dad after 470,000km it's my turn to raise my kids the Toyota way. The old luxy would really benefit from some a set of these mint driving lights.
Thanks Shauno.
I took my old lightforce lights off because I thought they were restricting airflow causing the overheating problem I had, in that time they were off the ex missus took em and sold em, now I have none, would love a new set so I can blind her on the road next time we meet haha
Great explanation and great reason for a set of new lights on my old 80 series. I am so sick and tired of driving by braille at night. Keep up the good work guys.
great to see your trying to help people while plugging your pocket with those awesome looking stedi units.
It may be a good idea to inform people about road regs when it comes to Lights, here in vic if they are forward of your "B" piller or behind or above your bull bar bar they are considered camping lights and the switch must not be able to be reach by the the driver while driving,
This why I need the Stedi lights because I got defected and had to disconnect my roof mounted light bar which doesn't fit my bar, those steady units would make my rig shine day and night.
keep the information coming, well done .
Yet another quality Australian product those lights. They look far superior compared to other lights out there. I'm restoring a 1993 pajero swb with my old man. He's now getting out of navigational rallying but I'm now getting into it. Getting these lights would get me closer to having my dream rig rally ready.
I could definitely use a set of those! They would have prevented me driving my Ford F150 into a pond as I crested a hill following my friend's up a trail that literally went around the edge of the pond I came up the hill and didn't see it in time and dunked my front end in the water luckily the Boyes were quick to hook up to us and pull us out before my motor took on water! We saved my truck but what if I was alone I would have lost my truck! Love the show guys keep up the Great work!
Just bought my first car, A Mitsubishi Triton. Was driving home after first buying it and by mere dumb luck a big roo jumped out in front of me, and thought it great to stop in the middle of the road. Nearly had some dinner, had the breaks not just been done. Less than an hour owning the car haha. A nice set of spotties may be helpful avoiding this and great for a planned Cape Trip. Best of Luck everyone!
I would love a set of spot lights, I watch all your videos as soon as they come out, the help motivate me to modify my Zd30 patrol and go out prospecting.
Just got myself a new 4wd and wanting to kit it up and complete the big lap, these lights would be a amazing addition to my new rig. Once again awsome and informative video glad to see some scientific fact in there as well
My brother is just starting rebuilding his Hilux and a good set of lights would make the most awesome gift, and save quite a lot of $$. Thanks for the vid, I learned a lot!
Shaun, we are in the process of waiting for our MUX to arrive. As an older (seniors) couple we know that some really good spotlights are going to be an absolute must. Our eyes aren't that great at night. 😂😂😂.
We have been talking about spotties and my goodness these are some good-looking spotties. Hope we are in with a chance.
Mate, love how tech just keeps pushing everywhere we look! These stedis look incredible, would make a massive difference to my early morning High country commutes to work. Those Roos are mental.
Hi guys, we’re only a couple of weeks away from picking up our new Ranger Sports and then to slowly start fitting it out. The info in here has certainly helped me out, I’m trying to watch as many of your videos to help us select what’s right for our 4x4… Keep it up and the giveaways certainly help as the costs these days are getting out of hand.
Just brought my first car and it needs a a new set of everything 🤣. Good old Toyota Hilux KZN165. A set of new spotties would let me be able to spend some money on other parts. Keen to get out bush with some mates when the cars done 🤙🏼
Well sadly I live in Nashville Tennessee. But I still want to say I’d love to own a set of stedi lights someday for my 5th gen 4runner. I’ve got an arb bumper and have some good rigid 6” lights that I love. But stedis are my dream lights. I love y’all’s show and am forever grateful for it. It’s gotten me through some rough times the last few years and I’m forever grateful for y’all’s insight and love for off roading. Someday I’m coming to Australia and would love to at least meet you guys! Keep doing what you are doing!
I have recently bought an 80 series cruiser as my first car. It came with old rusty IPF spotlights that didn't work, and I have been looking for new ones ever since
Finally a lighting video with some accurate info, I'm so sick of seeing all the posts saying "lightbars are for spread and round lights are for distance"
Should have also touched on the illegal and dangerous low beam LED bulbs lots of 4wds run these days blinding everyone on the road, and proper use of fog and spot lights
maaate, this video is heaps helpful just quick and to the point. explains a lot of stuff that people dont even think about, its great. reason why i need new spotties? well ive got my first 4x4 rig and im doing up a bullbar to throw on it and of course i need some spotties to go with. i do plenty of nighttime driving especially out bush and having some good light would help a tonne. cheers shauno!
Np300 is out and the new 63 has arrived! Need a set of new candles to light the path to get me home to watch the weekly episodes! Love the content guys
I’d love these. I live in the bush and love camping and this would make driving at night much safer for me and the family.
I brought my lights 6 yrs ago and they have come so far since then. I love the stedi lights cause I can get blue bling 💙
Hey, been watching for years and love to tour videos, just bought my first 4WD and so keen to upgrade it and make it my own and would love some good lights. cheers keep up the good work!!
Heading on a overdue road trip with a mate in November. I’m heading East in WA from Coolgardie to Hyden on a 4by track these spot lights would be a huge help to dodge the Roos.
Keep up the good work lads, love the episodes.
Great video shauno! My old man has just ordered his dream car and those stedi lights would look wicked on it. He needs them as he drives alot in the dark and they would get a proper work out!
Great video of the spotties mate, reason why I need some new lights is that I'm still running old narva spotties, just don't cut it when you are trying to miss all the pot holes in Vic.
Amazng video. So much good accurate info. I could use a set of lights for my stock Jeep Wrangler. The headlights are like candels and I am moving to KY for med school. Going to be dodging a lot of deer. As a daily driver these lights will save me driving at night in rural KY. Thanks Shauno!
About to tackle the mighty Maddison Line thru the Simpson… couldn’t think of anything better than cruising along in the evening with a new set of EVO’s blazin’ the trail ahead
Hi Shaun, thank you for the information. I picked this vid as we were looking for information on what to get. We are trying not to go overboard with our new 4x4, but have recently driven in central Australia and realized having good night time driving lights will help us travel better and safer. The competition was a bonus ;)
Love the channel! I need a new set for my new daily! Driving through the dark mountain roads every day is no good with the stock headlights! Good luck everyone!
You've opened my eyes and lights to the way I should use them. Currently high beams is my only vision down the road. So far the roo's are safe and my truck!
Ps love that wiring concealer😮
I've just bought my first newer car 2 weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to have a bulbar previously installed. I am heading up to Townsville for a camping trip with a few of the lads from work, well be up there for a fair while, I've had a few encounter with kangaroos in my old 75 series and one of the last roo's I saw took out my whole front end. If that happened to my new car i would be devastated. So a set of spotties on the front would do wonders for me.
Great video Shauno, loving the content.
These spotties would be a total game-changer for my nav when I'm tearing up the beach and the sun goes down, these bad boys would become my own personal sun lighting up the sand and keeping me safe and letting me enjoy the view and also show off a little. Believe me once I try em I'll never want to hit the beach without em.
Planning a trip to work and travel around Australia, and a good set of lights is next on the list for the rig! Thanks for the information Shauno!
New set of stedi’s would help detect all the wildlife encountered and constant strikes I’ve got going to work every week in the high country 110km through the bush, 1am in the morning im lucky to pass one other vehicle, need those stedis to protect the cruiser for sure, informative vid thanks shauno
Hey Shauno, thanks for the video. So informative - even the misso watched it and commented that she understood a bit more about why I want better driving lights!!! I'm kitting out a 2021 LC200 and currently don't have lights so these would be awesome and help light up the dark roads in WA. Cheers mate. PJ
Thanks Shaun'o. I really didn't know about the spot reflective/ flood reflective design. Winning these would make them the first mod to my ride 🛻
Good analysis - practical to have the right colour, spread and spot. Thanks for updating LED quality v price. Many Thanks
I'm way out in Canada and starting this winter, I'll be doing a decent amount of driving on our high mountain roads out in British Columbia, so good lightning is gonna be imperative. Nice video 👍
Here good lights is a must have for night driving with sheep, elk, reindeer and cows blocking the road at random... Looong time ago I was driving at night and a rather large flock of reindeer was blocking the road and I did not see them because of the poor lights on my 1993 model Opel Astra, I had to drive slalom between them while slowing down, and I did miraculously avoid hitting any of them.
After that I mounted two Hella Rally 3000 and put in 100W halogen bulbs in them, and my car`s dynamo was giving out 14,8v so it was a LOT more then 100W :) Best lights I ever had, they was even more powerful then 50W Xeon. Only now with 170w LED`s I see lights that give the same distance and spread of light. With the 100W bulbs in the Rally 3000 you could see a wooden power poles at 1,500m distance along the road (I turned the lights upside down to give less light to near the car, that also help give more distance ).
Hey Mate
Love the channel, not sure if it’s to late but I just brought an mux last year to take the kids traveling and being inspired by your channel to create an awesome build. Being a single dad makes it though. I’m keen on getting all the stedi headlights reverse lights etc, the lights up for grabs would make an awesome addition!! Love your work mate!! Cheers!
I have a light bar mounted on the roof spoiler on my 3,2m tall Ford Transit box van, but even mounted that high it give way to much light right in front of the car and it do not light up the road farther away so I pretty much never use it.
I have now bought 2 more of the 25W high beam halogen alike LED lights that came with the car when I bought it that is mounted in the grill of the car in front. They work great to light up the road far ahead and give not to much light right in front of the car. Will mount them up high on the spoiler to give even better reach ahead together with two 170w LED high beam lights with many smaller LED and reflectors (hope they are better then the light bar that have way to much spread).
Love watching your vids Shauno! I’ve just bought my first 4x4 and got a ton of plans for it including a bunch of Stedi lighting. Once I’ve got all that together, it’s straight out into the bush for me and my rig.
To be honest Shauno, I don't even have any LED lights, my dad is too tight on money that he saids he'll never get a pair. We just got a camper that we love going to places with but when driving the long tyring straight roads at night, it's so obvious that just our standard driving lights are nowhere near what we need. the Stedi type X Evo would help out so much and would make the trips around the places a whole lot safer aswell. Hopefully I could be considered in the competition. Cheers Shauno and the rest of ya
Another very critical point about cheap led lights is the interference they can cause to modern electronics eg radio, two way and computers, hence the reason I don’t currently have any extra lighting.
I just brought my first 4x4 and am sooo excited to get it off road ready… these lights are what I need to start my adventure 🙂
Hi Shauno, love your videos and I am putting my hand up for these stedi spotties as when my daughter brought her prado all that was there was the stedi mounting bracket. I would love to get these and fit them for her as she is on shift work which means she is travelling to work and home in the dark most of the time. Love the antics you and the crowd get up to when you go traveling.
Hey Shauno! My 80 needs a set of these spotties for sure. Its still sporting some ancient Hella halogens and it needs to be dragged into the modern world so its driver can see at night on the long hauls to save the roo population!
Bloody ripper of a video like always Shauno 👌🏼 very informative and helpful. I would love the spotties to try and help keep my young family (6week and 2 year old) safe when driving bush roads at night. Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks for another awesome and informative video Shauno! My 4wd will definitely benefit from a new set of spotties as the stock headlights aren't the best and the high beam doesn't make much of a difference at all, so a new set of Type X Evo's will definitely aid in those night time drivings far from the city were visibility is minimum and when you are out in the bush searching for a campsite. These lights will definitely increase confidence when driving at night which will also make for a safer journey.
Not sure if I'm too late but loved the video. I'm new into the off roading space and am still using the light bar that the dealership fitted to our number plate.
Wow! who would have thought there was so much to consider when choosing LED spotties. Once again Shauno you have simplified the topic. Those STEDI would be a great replacement for my old IPF lights.
Just watched your video and you did a great job in explaining things in regards to spotties! My partner and I recently downgraded from our Ford Ranger because with my back issues, I was really struggling to get in and out, so we got a Nissan QASHQAI, which we love. We live in a regional area and night time driving can be hazardous at times. We've recently installed a good quality nudge bar in it and would love to finish her off with an awesome pair of spotties! Keep up the good work!
I just came back from a trip from Meandarra I have the bullbar but not the spotlights. 3am in the morning I lost count of the amount of kangaroos I saw. This video is a great source of information for people looking to buy, thanks Shauno.
Thanks guys for another great video!! I need a new set of Stedi Type X Evo spotties because my current HID's just aren't cutting it...I fitted a Stedi 3303 Pro bar and its awesome, but the colour temp difference and lower light output from the "other" brand HID's actually cause me eye strain, the Type X Evo's in a combo set would fix that eye strain and make offroad driving much safer for me! Cheers, Foxy!
Love the video! I’ve been tossing up between the Evo’s or the Stedi Pro’s, I would absolutely love a set for the new car! New car new build! Yeww!!
Hi 24/7 Crew, Life for me is about to change big time. I've always been happy driving the missus car with the standard headlights, but that's all about to change with our first child due today(22nd) The more light the better to help us see down the road further to protect our little growing family.
I love the 1980's era 10 inch Bosch truck pencil beams, I now purchased a pair of Hella Rallye 4000's.
Hi I am 23 and just picked up my first project. I got myself a 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser j120 and would love to start it off with a bullbar and those lights would be awesome on it. Love the videos and I’m a fairly new subscriber and your channel has really helped me learn more about what to get for my build🤙🏽
gday Shauno, I just bought a nudge bar to fit some lights on my rig, Im a bit hesitant from light bars and spotties, just started off roading and have got an 09 Colorado with the old halogen high beams, jeez they aren't bright enough to spot roos, I've hit 2 recently as I live on a backroad out of town, this video has helped with what I should put on, Thanks heaps
Candles 🕯 shine brighten than my old nissan headlights, a new set of spotlights would really brighten my day 😊
After putting the Xrox bar on I’ve got no fog spotlights and I’m putting the rhino rack on this weekend so it’s time for a light bar spotlights and lower fogs these ones you’ve shown look mint for the Mitsy.
Upgrade break’s next and soon we are ready for ticking our bucket list “cape trip”
