Check out SDLighting in Arizona. Steve is a really cool dude to deal with, backs up his warranty and has killer lights for a much reasonable price. Not sure if any vendors on here are dealers for him.

 

I'll check it out, thanks.

 

Lighting on top of your roof is old technology. You need lights down low and to the sides for an off-road vehicle. Lighting is as good as what you pay for, more you spend the better lighting you get within reason. Generic China bars suck power and puke light everywhere but where you need.

 

Yeah I don't mean I want to go with some Ebay or Amazon brand lights. Just wasn't sure if the price is worth it on those. Also never heard that about the lighting, I always though overhead lights were useful. Interesting information, thanks.

 

Amazon lights ftw, just add more.

 

If you insist on a light bar then the 50" Baja Design Onyx 6 is what you want. More light and cost less than that KC set up

OnX6+ Straight LED Light Bar - Universal - Baja Designs - Off-Road LED & Laser Lights | Automotive, Jeep, Truck, UTV, ADV, Dirtbike

The OnX6 LED Light Bar uses our trademarked High Speed Spot reflectors for the longest-distance light projection on the planet. Choose from spot, wide driving, or driving/combo patterns, in either white or amber to get exactly the right lighting setup for your on- or off-road needs. The 10-inch...

Even a 40" Baja Design bar will give more usable light than the KC set up.

Unless your leading night rides there is no need for a light bar. All your going to do is get blinded from the light reflecting off the dust. Better off with a few lights on a bumper and a pair of lights on the a-pillar.

Agree, nothing throws more light than Baja Designs. Expensive, but worth it.

 

I started with the KC lights because I thought they not only performed but looked good. (they do!) Ended up with a BD Onyx shock tower light and the BD headlights, now I rarely (if ever) use the KC lights. I still keep them on the car because, well, they look cool!

 

LOL! They do look cool. Love the covers where it looks like sunglasses.

 

Get the OnX 6 and be the leader!!

 

I agree that roof mounted bars are not useful. Too much glare off my hood and windshield. I went with onx6 shock mounted, and a pair of squadron pros on my a pillars. More than enough light for how I drive in the dark, and my eyes arent burning and sore after a long ride.

 

Just pick up a pair of these lights and be done

 

Just one of those cost 50$ American more than my onx6+ and the shock mount and the harness.

 

I just ordered the Baja Designs XL expandable light bar. 7 pods with side, flood and spot coverage. Puts out more than the KC, a couple hundred cheaper and look cool except no sunglasses covers. Also some amber covers. Call me old school but I like a roof light bar on my buggy. Too much glare and I’ll wrap the hood flat black like the loggers do. I went with a BD S8 amber 10” over the onyx for less amp draw. Some would say I made a mistake. Haven’t decided on a pair of squadrons or XL’s for the side pods yet but they will be amber. This is the first time I have ponyed up the cash for good lighting. China lights have been fine on my last couple cars but we’re usually not flat out in the desert and able to outrun your lights where I live and drive. I have high hopes once they’re set up. Hollywood told me “buy once - cry once”. Going to live by that creed on the new car.

 

On the a-pillars get the XL80s. I had a S8 Amber in the grille on my XP1000.

 

Welcome!

 

Thank you

 

The KC’s do look cool but that’s a lot of cash for unusable light. I went ONX6 on the shock tower and it works great. Will probably add some spread at some point.

 

I will check it out. Thanks

 

I got a deal on some squadron pros locally but they still weren't cheap. With Amber covers thankfully. That's what pushed me to get Chupacabra mirrors. The cuero pros are billet, very slick, and have mounts for light pods. Used to drive a logging truck actually, before the advent of light bars. Never really had top mounted lights aside from a couple mirror mounted spots. But that was 15 years ago

 

Those Chupacabra mirrors are very nice.

 

Welcome from Oregon

 

Agreed but it's too late for me now! Save yourself!
