  • Spotties to fit on Sovreign Bar

    Hi Guys,
    This is my first post and I have just purchased a new Prado. I am waiting for delivery. I was thinking about getting the dealer to fit the spotlights on the bar for me. I am going to be doing a fair bit of fishing - 4x4 on beach and night road driving on fishing trips.

    What I am unsure of and I have read quite a few posts but they didnt exactly answer my question.... and that is what HID spotties should I get that will fit nicely into the Toyota Sovregin Bar?

    I say HID as I have read alot of posts and they sugget not to bother with anything less... I have seen the Lightforce XGT with the HID upgrade on Ebay there is a bloke on there who is selling Light Force XGT and Ralleyeyes with the HID conversion already done. The XGT's look a bit big to be honest I would prefer something smaller that will not take up the whole space for airflow to radiator and dosent stick out too far... Your opinions / pics would be greatly appreciated

    Sorry if this has already been asked but I couldnt seem to find the post....

    Thanks in Advance

    As you can see I am running the 170 Lightforce Strikers, for non HiD, they are awsome and I have managed to pick up a
    third one for the guts off a mate for free, so big bonus to me.
    I know some of the guys run the 240 monsters, and they fit in the bar but a little out fhe front. Still leaving a good gap in the middle of the bar.

    Hope this helps you


    Like to fish myself so we should plan a WA fish trip with a few guys soon.

      Here is my rig with Lightforce Blitz 240's, I have since converted them to HID's. As you can see there is plenty of airflow to the engine with these fitted. I have driven in extreme temperatures and not had any problems at all.

          Recently purchased D4D with Sovereign Bar. Kept Narva 225 from Old Patrol. They look a little big for the Sovereign bar. Has anyone fitted Narva 225 to a Sovereign Bar? Cheers Milhouse

              Hey guys,
              I purchased the HID converted 240 blitz and they look awesome - I pick my car up on Monday with the lights fitted so i will let you know how they go - I bought them from predator performance - they have a website and they sell on ebay. I bought them for $680.

                  Yup, nice job there Mossie! I have the Un-HIDed Lightforce 240 Blitz on mine and even those light things up like a friggin Christmas tree. I'd go the blue covers though. Just a thought. The guys with the Crystal Blue covers say the glare off signs vs light penetration is a good mix. I have the original blue covers on mine and I have to admit, even those seem to have an effect at reducing glare off roadsigns. Though larger ones will still give you a suntan.....

                    Re: Spotties to fit on Sovreign Bar

                    With the 240 Blitz on the Sov Bar i have noticed that they are protruding in front of the black bumperette part of the bull bar. Is there any way to have them mounted back a bit further?

                    I am tossing up whether to go between 2x240 Blitz or 3x170 Strikers similar to Joey's setup but lightforce.
                    Any pros or cons that you guys can make me aware of?

                      Speed-racer You could mount them anywhere you like on the sov bar, just drill a hole, you could go back behind the little indentation thing as long as the back of the light doesnt foul on the grill when you open it , personally thats what I would do as your right, in the factory indentation thing they do stick out a bit.

                        Yeah i guess you could move them back, or perhaps maybe inward just a bit too.

                          If you take a look at my avatar and pic above, there is more than enough room for the 3 x 170 strikers, both mine are mounted in the factory indents on the sovereign. I have measured up a paire of Narva 140's and they will fit amongst the two, so 4 in total, or I may go with a third 170 striker.

                          You think you have decisions haha. :mrgreen:

                            I recently fitted some Hella Rallye 4000 HID's to my soverign bar. I choose these light knowing that i would have to mount them forward on the bar to allow clearance for opening the bonnet. I paid someone $200 to install them for me and he made a wedge shaped spacer to go around the 10mm center bolt. It came loose within 2 hours of driving. I spoke to him about it and he wanted me to pay him again to refit them . So I made up a wedge out of high density polypropylene and fitted it using conial washer nuts and a drop of lock tight. The original installer also secured the ballasts down low on the cross member infront of the radiator, which means they will get wet.

                            Now that the lights are secured and aimed properly I am very happy with the light output. It has plenty of spread and more than enough throw. Not sure how the light performs compared to the other light out there but I find them absolutly fantastic.

                              Hi Hunter, just purchased a 08 GXL. When I tried to mount my Rallye 4000 they fouled on the grille when shutting. Did you drill another hole to mount and do you have any detail pics of these wedges you speak of. Thanks Wantaprado ( guess I Should change my profile now)
