Any Canadians out there have experience with PA's off road or driving lights?

I've got 4 of them mounted. 2 spotlights and 2 driving lights. All halogen's so they light up good and bright, no complaints. Everytime I wash my truck I wipe the housings down with silicone or light oil to keep them from rusting.

I like em better than any brand name because when you smash these out on a tree (or catch a rock on the highway) it's nice that a new one is only $15-30.

Good to hear. They have a square driving light set on sale for 20 bucks right now, think I'll give em a try, even if they're crap they seem to have a good return policy.
You know what product # your spotlight ones are?

Sorry, went out and had a look but I can't see a part number or anything sorry.

just something about the word "Princess" that doesn't sound right on a truck... or is it just me?:icon_twisted:
Lol, I see what ya mean but if you went there once you'd understand. "The Unique World of Princess Auto" it was orig for farm implements but now has everything from tools to welders, to benders, to a full hydro shop, winches, the list goes on and on, even government and army surplus.

My wife calls their monthly catalogue "tool porn"..

The spotlights are the centre ones here, you can tell pretty clearly what hey look like.

Careful with their square ones, might only have a 55w bulb.

I just bought the rectangular ones that are on sale for $20, i plan on using them for fogs, they're only 55w, but $20 for the pair including wiring you really cant go wrong.

Thinking about mounting a pair of those on my bumper, like my friend's jeep cherokee, as a normal fog light valance would probably get torn off.

My stock mounting brackets are gone so I'm going to fab something to attach to the underside of the bumper and attach the lights to that, with them poking out of holes cut into the valence.
