Another sneak preview: Lights

Another sneak preview. After many years of using PIAA lights, (www.piaa.com), the choice was easy when we were designing our Buckstop Bumper, (www.buckstop.biz), for The Turtle V. The all-new PIAA RS 600 Shock Lamp H.I.D. Long Range Driving Light has an internal ballast. It has a black polyamide and fiberglass housing, and the polycarbonate clear-coat lens protects the multi-surface reflector PIAA is famous for. As with all PIAA lights on The Turtle III and The Turtle IV, the housing mount is rock-solid yet easy to adjust. For a wide-angle fog light, we chose the 510 Series Xtreme White SMR Fog with the upgraded 110-watt XTRA Xtreme White Plus bulb. Its 60° spread will light up the sides of those dark Baja backroads. The main light bar was specifically designed to allow access to the Warn 16.5 winch, (www.warn.com), shown here with its locking cover in place.
