Help me pick out some off road lights.

lowlypawn · 02-13-2008, 09:28 AM

I’m going to install some off road lights for my Titan (mounted to a roof rack). I want to get something similar to these.

http://www.autobarn.net/hella-4000-series.html but they are $115!

If I buy 5 that’s $600 just for lights. So I needed something cheaper. All I need is round (about 6”) black and that they shine light.I really don’t need a million candle power with 5 of em.

Anyone know of some good reasonable priced off road lights?

Hella's are really good.

You may consider KC's-they may be less expensive.

PIAA's are more expensive...

I'm very happy with my KC Hilites Slimlites. They put out good light, come in three colors (chrome, black, titanium) and have a great footprint(thin).

I've been real happy w/ my PIAA round ones. Little more money but dont have to wire the lights. They just plug right together.

I like the KC lights, I have some that are 15+ years old that were my dad's that are still in excellent shape. I recently bought another set from a member over at CT because they are the stainless steel, which I like better than the black ones that I alreay had. I've never tried any brand lights other than these, so there very well could be something better out there. I'll probably always stick with the Daylighter's though because thay're priced pretty well and they work great.

I'm happy with the Hella 500 Series lights I'm using.

Check out Pro Comp. Decent light, decent price! I have a sale on them right now!

Thx for the ideas.

The black magic look sweet but too much $$$. I did find these but I’m a little confused…

Those Procomps have a HUGE, bulbous housing that sticks out like 3" in the back. The Hella 500's are pretty slim/thin which looks better IMHO.

As far as the harness goes, yeah it's nice to have one, but wouldn't be hard to make one up yourself if you know what you are doing.

So you don't care about the quality of light, just that there are 5 mounted across your light bar to give it that "tough off-road" look?...

The Pro Comps (linked above)will give you a lot of light for the money but they're Pencil beams and about the same size as the KC Daylighter, the Hella's do come 2 to a kit, have a slim profile and are quality light, and a wider driving type beam.
The Pro Comps listed draw 100 watts each, but the Hella's only 55 each...
If want cheap, check E-bay under lighting, off-road, tons of Chinese KC knock-off's...

I'd get the Hella's, slim, less wattage to worry about AND you can brag about buying a quality light....

Actually I think I will only use 4 lights now and I did like the shallow looks of the Hella’s better then the rest. Also tubing is more expensive then I thought so I might at well splurge for the lights too. I’ll just have to keep my eyes open for the best deal.
