Well everyone I am hoping that soon I will be paying Jeremy to make me a roll bar and i was going to put 4 lights across the top. I was thinking of KC's but they are mad expensive so I was looking for a cheaper way out. I dont know much about offroad lights but these seem like they would be ok. They arent real KCs but they are modeled like them and I was thinking about getting these. What do yall think, the price is great...60 bucks for 4. I know they will not be as good as KC's or Hellas or what not but yeh, here they are....
Lights

 

a lot of the price of KC's goes towards amazing Warranty and customer service. If neither of these matter to you then go ahead with the knockoffs.

the way I see it is you can pay 60 bucks for lights that may last you a few years or may last you a few months and then pay another 60 for new knock offs each time they crap out. or you can pay 120 1 time and pretty much ride worry free...

 

Aftermarket light pretty much comes down to "you get what you paid for". KC have been in the game since day one, and everyone knows what a KC daylighter is. Plus the 26 year warrenty on the light not burning out can't be beat. Pair of 150watt Stainless steel daylighters will run ya about $179 ($358 for 4). A set of nice PIAA will set you back $420 ($840 for 4). At my work we are stocking a set of Sirius lamps that are similer to the KC. 6.5" with a 55watt bulb, and include covers. They sell for $60 ($120 for 4). They also offer a LARGE 9" model for $90 each ($360 for 4). And then you have the good old APC offroad lights that you can get for $25 each ($100 for 4). And my buddy has had great luck with the cheap ones. I'm looking at getting the sirius $60 ones for my brush guard when I order it here later this summer.

 

I have those. I hate them. I bought them before I cared about my truck. First problem with them is that water can get in. All 4 of my lights get water in them. And by the look of them, they are all straight beam lights. Meaning you wont get a range of light. But yes, they are alot cheeper than the KC's.

 

Those Sirius lights sound like a pretty good deal, do you have them on a website or are they to new so far? Yeh im sure they dont put out as much light as a brand name but I am getting them mostly for looks on the rollbar, as long as they put out decent light Ill be fine, i dont offroad at night much. Ill have to think about it tho, thanks yall. If anyone has any more suggestions they are appreciated.

 

You shouldn't have much of a problem with them on a roll bar. The 2 bottom ones on my truck are mounted upside down, so water comes through the bolt. I think they were submerged though.... But after a rain you can see some fog inside. See if the guy can give you 2 fog lights and 2 spot lights. Not just the 4 spots. You'll get a much wider light with the fogs.

 

You can get those for ~$12 each from Harbor Freight. I checked them out in the store.. they look kind of junky.

 

i boguth 2 KC daylighters 150watt spot lights for $130 shipped. check out redneck stones article on the lights. im too lazy to look for it so ya, any ways, i too wrote a write up under product reviews.

the driving lights from KC are $165 a pair. thats what I was initially gonna get, but I got the 150watt spots instead. the other thing u have to remember,m i9s u have to aim these lights too. so, dont forget that.

i got the chrome KC Daylighters 150 watt long range, and im quite happy with them. they give off enuff light off to the side, and i have them aimed so their like driving lights.

2 pair = $250 from summit racing

 

In this case, I think you'll be getting what you pay for.
