There’s more to setting up and correctly aiming your\u00a0driving lights<\/a> than you realise.<\/span><\/p>\n Technology has come a long way over the years, and although we head bush to escape it, there are a few things that make heading off-road that much more enjoyable. Like a quality set of Adventure Kings 9\u201d LED Driving Lights<\/a>, for instance.<\/span><\/p>\n Driving lights<\/a> are one of those mods that you won’t fully appreciate until you invest in a set that is capable, and practical. Not only do they make driving at night less fatiguing, but they also make it easier to see low-range obstacles like rocks and ruts, and wandering livestock before they pose a real threat to you and your passengers.<\/span><\/p>\n Affordable and cutting edge, the\u00a0Adventure Kings 9\u201d LED Driving Lights<\/a> are proving popular thanks to their light-weight design, super-strong IP68 Alloy casing and polycarbonate lens and 35x bright white 6500k LEDs.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n LEGALITIES <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n For best performance, minimal wiring and ease of installation, your best bet is to mount your\u00a0driving lights<\/a> in the centre of the bullbar just in front of the grille. It’s also the only legal spot on many 4WDs as most authorities impose maximum height limitations (which rules out mounting them on your roof rack) as well as specify that they’re mounted symmetrical to the centre line of the vehicle and don’t block the driver’s field of view. <\/span><\/p>\n Here’s a quick tip – make sure your chosen lights will fit within the centre hoop before handing over your hard earned, as some bullbar hoops can be smaller than others, if this is the case then check out the Adventure Kings 7\u201d Round LED Driving Lights<\/a>.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n SELECTING THE RIGHT MOUNTING BRACKET<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Quality lights like\u00a0Adventure Kings 9\u201d LED Driving Lights<\/a> will often come with a choice of mounting brackets. Both are stainless steel which means they won’t rust, and each provides at least two mounting provisions for the space available. In our case we’ve got either a base mount that bolts to the bottom of the light housing which is ideal if space is limited, or on the sides which enables easier adjustment and further reduces vibration.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n WATERPROOFING YOUR LIGHTS & WIRING<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Before you buy your next set of driving lights<\/a>, check to make sure they’re actually waterproof. As basic as it seems, a surprising number of them aren’t, which means the first water crossing you hit or any decent downpour has the potential to wreck your new lights. We went with the Adventure Kings 9\u201d LED driving lights<\/a> because the housings are IP68 rated and the Adventure Kings 9\u201d Wiring harness<\/a> takes advantage of quality waterproof Deutsch plugs.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n UNDERSTANDING IP RATINGS<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The IP rating of a light is a clear snapshot of how weatherproof that light is. The term \u2018IP\u2019 stands for Ingress Protection, and the follow table explains what each number means.<\/span><\/p>\n
