Has anyone tried Nightstalker lights?
Aren't they just a "copy" of the Lightforce lights? 
Actually, they're a copy of Cibie.

Hi,
I bought a set of Night Stalker Roo lights late last year. They are polycarbonate like the Lighforces, in fact many accuse them of being a copy, but they are 10mm larger in diameter and I think the fittings are slightly different.
The difference is the Night Stalkers are $230 including the heavy duty loom kit. The kit includes all the bits and pieces such as switches and fuses, nothing else to buy.
The best price I could get the Lightforce 170's for was $320, plus you needed to buy their wiring kit at $45. Total $365.
As much I like to support Aussie companies, the price of the Lightforce 170's ruled them out.
With regard to how the Night Stalker Roo Lights perform, they certainly light up the distant signs etc. They do what I want, and I guess that is all that matters.
A real test would be to put them side to side with a set of Lightforces and see how they compare, but I have not done that.
Just as a side note, the Night Stalker Roo Lights come with a clear lens cover, but unlike the Lightforces you cannot buy any additional "lenses" to make them into broad or pencil beams. You however can focus them by turning the body on the globe holder and you can get pencil or broad beam that way.
Between the good lights, there probably is not that much difference in performance, and it will come down to personal preference. A bit like the Nissan / Toyota debates.

Re:
Personally I wouldn't touch any of the Hella lights apart from the Rallye 4000 series or other Hella lights that use the same mounting base and wouldn't ever use Narva even if they were free (or until they lift their game).
I'd be looking at a decent pair of HID driving lights if I was fitting them now.

Re:
I had the Hella Rallye 1000 on my T30 and I now moved them to the T31. I was quite happy with their performance off-road at night and there is nothing wrong with their mounting base (as far I could tell). Considering you can now find them selling brand new on eBay for around $230.00/set which is a real bargain indeed.
Not sure I can justify spending a fortune on HID spotties unless you live and drive in the outback everyday where you can legally use spotties.
