Default Piaa 520 Xtreme White ATP

Hey there,

Anyone out there have any experience with Piaa's all terrain pattern lamps?
I want a wider span of light than my stock headlights but I want some distance too. So I don't want just fogs.

Thanks!

Sean

I have 4 of them on my front Gobi Light Rack. They work great. They are not spot lights, flood lights, or driving lights. It's a 40 degree pattern that works great.

So for my purpose...do you think I'd be better off with 2 fogs. Or would two of those give me wide enough coverage?

They are pretty much a straight beam. Since I got 4, I pointed my outer lights wide. Fog or Flood lights will give you a wider beam.

These PIAAs are realy made to substitute driving lights on off road racing scenarios.

You may wanna go to the PIAA web site, they have all the specs and patterns in drawings so that you may compare!

Ya I had already done that. It's just hard to know 100% for sure which one is right for me. I want brighter distance but I need the ditches light up
