LED Driving, Fog, Offroad Lights

I don't know if these lights will work for your wiring needs, but I here awesome things about these and I plan on getting a set.

I run two sets of the Dually lights. One fog and one driving. The LED's are lifetime and shock proof/water proof.



However they are not street legal. LED's are the future because of the small draw and great durability. I got my sets for about 138 a pair.

Carl, not to derail your thread but that has GOT to be the most BADA$$ bumper/winch setup I've seen.



I'd loose 1" in the front I'm sure if that were bolted up to my XJ.

I've looked at the RuffStuff ones, but they are HID and the bulbs are blue (ricer). I don't want to add a relay kit (it has built in balast I think). Cost for replacing bulb.



Brad, next meeting hopefully you bring the heep and I could see your light output.



Thanks Tom. What's helps is that the bumper isn't as heavy as it looks. W/o the winch...I have to use a jack. Take out the winch and it's manageable. Still a few things to add to it though. 😀

I've never had much need for a ton of light so my $0.02 isn't even worth that much, but I stumbled across this on the Expedition Portal board and thought it might be of interest: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/t ... ood-lights

My rock lights aren't super powerful but when it's dark they do the job.

Well, that was worth a couple 🍺 Bender! Thanks!



I'm kind of liking this amber one: http://blitzpro.com/12v-led-lights/ambe ... light.html



and this rail: http://blitzpro.com/hawk-6d-led-light-rail.html



I also like how they have roll bar mounts!!





@Brad -- I was still talking about the Rigid Lights you have, not rock lights. I've got LED rock lights.

I figured you were but Keane mentioned not much need for auxiliary lighting so I was mentioning that the LED rock lights worked great but didn't need to be very bright to work great.

Copy that.

Brad,



What Rigid ones were you talking about today again? You said the Mark (4wp) had on sale at the Expo?

Both equally styles are on sale there they have the 4led and the 6led on demo there. Be sure to talk with Marc to get their show price (plus the club discount).



I have the 4 LEDs.

I couldn't make it to the Expo.



Greg...did you get anything?



I might just cheap out for the Lifetime Limited ones....

I was only there because my dog was used in a snake bite prevention demo. I got in free though and had a fee minutes to kill so I checked out 4 wheel parts booth.

I was reading that the draw for the rigid dually's is less then a turn signal. That has me leaning towards picking a set up for the buggy.



I was originally going to get the ruff stuff hids because when I saw them in person, I was really impressed with the color and brightness.

I found a supplier who assembles a "kit" made up of all LEDs to replace every bulb in my XJ save headlights. Looks interesting. Are there "approved" headlights being manufactured or developed?

When you say "approved" I'm thinking you mean DOT-approved/certified?



The answer would be yes as there are replacement LED headlights for heeps. 😀



I think you might enjoy this articulating article. It's not the end-all, be-all.

Do you have more information about the supplier. I need some led kits

Trucklight is currently the main provider of DOT approved LED's. They are not cheap however. But vibration, submersion and burn out are no longer issues with them.



Truck-Lite Part POI27250C These fit the round headlight jeeps.



They now also make replacement bulbs for most headlights that are also LED, but much cheaper. I just don't know how effective they are, or if they are DOT approved.



I run LED driving, fog and rock lights currently.

Might look into these guys. A friend of mine uses them, and swears by them, but I have not seen them in person yet. I am thinking about trying out the 10" LED bar on my front bumper.
