Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Cheers gaz tommo and every one that put a replie up keep it comimg lads I'm taking it all on bord. LEDs are poor with red filters how important ate the filters to most of you could you live with out them if you can have a dimmer. Yes gaz can do mate Dimmer is a lot more important than a filter to me and most lads I've lamped with. Keep us updated! 2 Quote Link to post
Penda 3,341 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'd have a filter over a dimmer I've never been into them like I've mentioned before they can be handy but I just don't use them I like to spot with the filter then put the main beam on for a run 2 Quote Link to post

Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 One thing to think about is the colour of the light dai. Alot lads prefer halogen which is aboyt 3000k I think...where the led white light and the HID are 4200k so it's white...the higher "k" you go the bluer /whiter it gets. 1 Quote Link to post
