WHEN we did our LED driving light comparison test last year we were all surprised when the Night Hawks from Bushranger 4x4 Gear came up on top. Nothing against the Bushranger brand but these lights were a relative unknown up against some of the biggest brands in the country.
Fast forward to when we had the AFN bar fitted to our Ranger and we were keen to get a pair of Night Hawks on there to see how they perform in the real world. We were also very interested in Bushranger’s VLI wiring system which allows the driver to control the intensity of the lights via an adjustment dial with seven power settings. The VLI harness was not used in the original light comparison test.
The VLI is an electronically switched harness that removes the need for any relays in the system, instead using transistors for switching. It provides a simple plug-and-play harness that automatically senses the vehicle polarity for positive or negatively switched high-beam circuits, removing the need for any rewiring that can otherwise be required for some vehicles.
The VLI harness comes with a dial, instead of a conventional switch, that offers seven different power settings for the lights. The system also has a soft-start fire-up so that it allows your eyes to adjust to the lights when you switch them on.
