James,

The only time I've heard about Wipacs is the replacement light bucket for a Series Land Rover... the originals rust out, so the Wipacs is used instead so it won't rust out again. Literally, a bowl-shaped bucket screwed inside the wings facing forward, for the regular headlight to mount to...

Never heard 'em referenced to Discos....

What kind of info are you looking for??

I heard that they make a 9inch light similiar to like a hella 4000 and they are really well priced. Nathan Crabtree is selling them. I just can't find squat on them!

I just got a set for evaluation from Nathan Crabtree. From first impression, I like the quality. It looks like they will easily mount on the Adventure Roof rack, the SafariGard bumper, and on the LR A Bar and on the LR Genuine Wrap-around brush bar. I will try to look at an ARB bumper to see if they will fit, but I am skeptical. You would probably need to drill a hole about 1 to 2" forward of the stock holes on the ARB bumper. They are about the same size (in diameter) as the LR Safari 5000s, however, they are a little deeper.

The lights are 9" round and about 5.5" deep. The body of the lights and the grill are black. They are 100w each and the body seems to be aluminum or annodized steel. The lens is glass and held in with a chrome retaining ring. They come with a grill much like the Hella 4000s, except that they say WIPAC and 4x4 on the grill. The grill is plastic and can be easily removed.

If you are interested, drop me an email and I will send you a couple of pictures of the lights via email.

Thanks,
Mike B.

THANK YOU!!! It helps so much to see them to make sure they aren't a piece of s@#t. For all I knew they looked like the KC crap lights. Thanks again guys.
James

p.s. I'm going to try a set (on my girlfriends rig) and I'll report back ASAP

Are there any different beams or just that one fog?
