I would say that any 5" Wipacs on ebay would be a good investment, they are good quality lights.

Thers is vendors on hear to that can offer spotlights to such as Newministuff.co.uk.

Hello mate, like ScottyBoy said 5" Wipac, I would personally, well I did go for stainless steel instead of chrome. Regarding the 4 or 2 spots, I have read some threads on here saying 2 are better than 4 as 4 can sometimes affect the cars electrics. Dont quote me on that, think I read it somewhere.

I bought my spots, wiring and brackets from:

CSM Supplies :: SPOT LIGHTS :: DRIVING LAMPS :: WIPAC 5" MINI SPOTLIGHTS DRIVING LAMPS CHROME OR STAINLESS STEEL

They were great to deal and the parts came the next day. All the best on the spot hunt.

Mikey I see you sell different brackets is it better to use these separate brackets than the supplied ones with the WIPAC's? I think I heard somewhere that the MINI brackets are stronger and don't bounce so much?

They are both the same quality in my opinion, the hella ones used to be thicker & chrome but then they downspecced them
To be honest even the Mini spot lamps 'bounce' when the car it ticking over. They did bring out a mod which was a plastic covered screw that went through the grille & pushed on the back of the lamps
