Having lived in the Aussie Alps for the past twenty odd years I can tell
you its the lights that ATTRACT the Roo's
Stay on low beam or even just sidelights on a clear lonely road. If you
cant see them they cant see you.
The Roo's 400yds are no problem , its the ones 5 yards to your left or
right- they are attracted and jump straight into the lights.

suggest a couple of different options.

would be step one.

wattage bulb. I run 80w low and 100w highs and can light up the Mojave
desert at night. Higher wattage than that are available, but certain wiring
mods must be done to accomodate the wattage. Somewhere in our archives is
discussion on the mod.
> 3) Increase the wattage of the fog light bulb to 100w. This will at least
fill in the area between the bumper and the headlights. I don't think I
would go past 100w in the fogs as it gets pretty warm down there unless you
want to rig something to dissipate heat.
> 4) Lastly some monster driving light that has been discussed here in the
last day or so.
