First time buying off road lights. Im about to pull the trigger on a pair of kc gravity pro 6 lights for a fairly decent price. But I remember as a kid my pops always went with "Hella" lights on his trucks. Does anyone have any experience with both (in LED)? Does anyone have any opinions on which is better and why? Any experience with the company/warranty etc? All help will be appreciated. And lastly does anyone have any pictures of Hella or KC on their rigs? Thank you

I went with LED KC Daylighters on mine. No complaints here. I don’t have experience with Hella.

If you’re in the market for high performance LEDs, you should also consider Rigid Industries. They’re expensive, but they are high quality.

@TRI-JAB Has a nice setup of KCs on his Rubi. I wish they had them as fogs in amber in the PRO6. I grew up with Hellas so interested what options there are here....

His set up looks good. That is the route I will be going as far as the bumper (Have the rr Arcus).

I had ran KC daylighters back in the day and put KC's on the front & cowl and have Hella in the back of the bed. I'm happy with both.

Funny you should mention the amber for the PRO6. I just ordered amber covers for the PRO6’s yesterday. I can’t wait to see how they work.

I've got the KC Gravity Pro 6 on mine, and I can say that they are absolutely amazing. This weekend we took the Jeep to Austin around Lake Travis, and I used them on the trails around the lake. I've never seen anything so bright! I also think the hard covers give the truck a distinctive look when on.

I pulled the trigger and ordered a pair of these. How did you attach them? Brackets?
My bumper already had a mounting plate with holes so the install was super easy.

Did you put both on the same switch or split them by light type?
Man they look great-

Thank you! I'm using the Mopar Auxiliary Switch Bank, and each of my different lights are set to a different switch. KC AUX 1, Dually D2 Pillar lights AUX 2, Front bumper light bar AUX 3 and Rear Chase rack D2 lights AUX 4.
