gonna be buying a pair of off-road light in a couple of weeks. i'm thinking of getting a pair of kc daylighters 6" 150watt. any input on off-road light would be appreciated.

If I ever buy an "offroad " light id get one a those magnetic mount 360 degree spot lights with one a them little controllers, those are sweet, any other lights would be smushed haha, but for now I stick to halogens behind my from bush gaurd or my " beamo "  ...

Price and quality.

From what I've herd PIAA's one of the best lights but one of the expensive ones.

But I've had a pair of Meijer (KC type) lights for $40/pr on my dune buggy over 10 years and haven't had a problem.

I used KC over the years there very good lights and last a long time. I've also used alot of Hella with good results. More a matter of what you like I think most major brands are good.

The top pf the line warn lights are pretty fancy, they have the brush grille, unbreakable plastic(or whatever its made of) and it has the selectable spot or flood light.

KC is awesome, but yes, you are going to shell out the cash for them. My dad uses KC Daylighters on all his company trucks. I like the 360 spotlights as well, but I've only had mine for 6 days now. Maybe its just me, but damn light setups are expensive! Try not to go to Walmart and get those shitty blue lights that are cheap. They work, but come on, unless blue goes with your rig (hahaha) do you really want Walmart? '

Something to chew on anyway.

I have tried a few different types of lights, from walmart 4 inchers stuck to the windshield with double stick tape to KC daylighter copies. My favorite by far is these I got from Ebay:

Bosch Profi 210 rectangular white driving lights. They are very durable, easy to aim, I have yet to ever see one rust and these can handle 150 watt bulbs with no problems. The light pattern is wider than round lights, but seemingly just as tall and they throw plenty of light. I have a pair of these mounted on my grille guard with 100 watt bulbs and I am very happy with their light output. Much better than the round 6" off-road lights I've used. The only drawback is that they are a little on the large size(the lens is 8"x4"!) and due to their size and weight, they need a very secure mounting location so they don't "jiggle"...

I'm running a set of Pro-Comps 55 fog lights up front and had a set of the driving lights. Cheap and work good and thin bodys.


A high-performance, very compact light for hard-to-fit grill guards and light tabs, as well as other challenging locations. Super slim 5" diameter configuration with a quartz/halogen 55 watt H3 bulb. Available in a high gloss black or polished chrome finish; with a hard plastic cover

I use a combination of PIAA 6" round and el-cheapo auto zone rectangular fog lights. I have the rectangular aimed low for running through fog and lighting up the trail close to the vehicle (they have a long narrow beam pattern) and the PIAA's are aimed a bit higher so when I realy want to light things up I hit them. They have a wide beam pattern and with the high power will light up EVERYTHING around

ok i'm cheap I've got the rally 100watt ( KC lookalikes) they are like $20 a light I've had KC's and Hellas lside by side they lights just about the same on the floods..
now if we get into spots .. spend the extra money but if your just looking at day lighter and stuff you can't go wrong with a cheap set ... as they may break in the woods
