Thanks happi_steve

got the spotlights from Autobarn. Can't remember the exact brand name, but they only cost me $60 from memory. I can check it out tomorrow when I go to Autobarn and let you know. I like them over others that I have tried. They don't have a long beam and are more spread beam with some distance. Almost like a low beam length so that when you are on high beam and these lights you don't lose any light in front of the car.

I tried the Narva equivalent spotlights. Awesome light and power, but they were full on pencil beams with no side spread at all, just round circles of light for long distance. I prefered the spread beam especially for the winter time fog around Canberra

Depends what sort of kit you're after. They're pretty thin on the ground I think. Carmate in Sydney has a few but they are of inconsistent quality (and taste imo).

I have been wanting a Racing Beat type 2 front bar for a while but can't find any in Australia and there is no way I'm going to pay the $400 postage from the US not to mention the customs fees. So for the moment I am going without!
