I first wrote about Rayzer lamps in March this year and at that time, they were only available directly from the manufacturer in Sweden. Rayzer have now secured a distributor in the US and are available directly. They’ve even dropped the price!

If you haven’t come across Rayzer before, here’s the description:

The Rayzer lighting system is intended to provide the same sort of function as the driving lights mounted on the bumpers of rally cars, etc. Modern car design doesn’t always make the fitment of those lights practical or visually appealing today, hence the development of the Rayzer system (by former race driver, Lars Svelander).

Instead of being outside the car where they’re difficult to mount, prone to dirt, stonechips and theft, the Rayzer lights are flush-mounted inside the car against the windscreen, fitting in just behind your rear view mirror. The high-mounted position allows for very effective illumination of the road and shoulder ahead.

The dual lamps are HID Xenons and they are wirelessly connected to your vehicle’s high-beam switch. When they sense oncoming traffic, they switch off automatically.

The lamps were around US$1200 when I first covered them here at TS. They’re now retailing for US$1,050.

Rayzer have an introductory special for the US market until the end of October, where you can get the Rayzer lamps for US$945. Check them out at Rayzer’s funky new US website.
