I'm contemplating mounting a set of lights to the Monty, and was curious if anyone has a set of the IPF SuperRally 960 (or 930, or anything else made by IPF) lights and what they thought of the construction quality, brightness , ease of installation and whatever. Do you have the brushed aluminum ,110w units - or the black, 85w units?
Very gracias unto you!

Go for the big 110w/170w dual beam IPF's (don't know the type) they will be the only lights you'll ever need. They have standard H4 bulbs for Hi and Low beam. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Liquidium,
I've got the IPF Super Rally 960B 85W on order. They should be here in a couple of weeks with my brake rotors. I'll letcha know how they look/work/look! I went with the IPFs because of their construction quality, brightness, ease of installation, and whatever! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, those (the 930s) are about $500 plus. Probably worth it. Still, my list of future mods is way long, and I believe the 960s should do the trick. Smaller in diameter, too. I think they usually go for about $250 - for this, a relay, harness, and remote switch are all included. I'd love to add the 930s to my sig, though, if the price was sweet enough.

960B? I'm curious -does the "B" stand for black? Damaged minds want to know! Would grovelling increase the chance of getting you to kick down a pic or ten of your shiny new units when they arrive? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> At any rate, I'll be anxiously awaiting your report.

Liquidium,

You may also want to consider Hella lamps.

I've run hella's in a plastic case for years now (5?) without any problems whatsover and I'd say I wheel probably more than the average person on this forum. Not an obscene amount but certainly quite a bit.

If I ever need to go to a metal case, I'll probably upgrade to the Hella 4000's which I can easily find for under $200/pair on ebay or $250 online for a kit(4by4connection.com). Plus I can buy them in whatever beam pattern I desire. (Fog, Euro beam, Pencil, Cornering)

Just an option to consider. Oh, you can also purchase them with a pretty chrome housing if you desire but that's only available in a Fog or Euro Beam pattern.

Not knocking IPF, but I'd like to know what I'm paying extra for with their lights?

Yes. "B" stands for black.

EDIT: I only paid $250 for IPF Super Rally 960B kit. Be American - buy Aussie! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />

The ARB catalog mentions that the 930s are for racing use only - the high beams produce so much heat that higher vehicle speeds (and the resulting wind) are needed to keep them cool.

Wheredjya buy those?

Before I posted this, I asked ARB to clarify a little on the difference between the black and brushed aluminum 960 lights. ARB's reply:

"the black super rally comes with a 55 watt cobalt blue bulb with the output
of a 85watt. the other model comes with a clear 110 watt bulb. in the near
furure all the 960 super rally lamps will come with a 110watt bulb as it
does have better range, 65000cd..."
regards buddy
