LED Retro style Lighting

[MarkV87]

I’ve been looking to put some LED off-road lighting on my gladiator for a while, but I’ve always thought that the straight bar LEDs weren’t quite my style. Nothing against them, I just don’t like the idea of a classic round headlight jeep having a bunch of straight lines of light. I’ve always gone with more of the “retro” look. That being said, this is what I’ve decided. I’m going to be getting the Rugged Ridge Sport Bar for the bed, and I’m going to put a couple KC HiLite’s Daylighter LED pods on the rack. These lights come in 2 versions. “Driving”- flood light. And “Spot”- spotlight. It comes in a set of 2 lights (2 driving or 2 spot) with a wiring harness. I’m thinking what I will do is get one of each set and mount them like this. I will mount the “driving” lights on the outside and wire them to the factory brights, and then on a separate switch the “spot” lights in the middle aimed directly forward for when I need some serious reach. Any thoughts?

I just finished wiring these up tonight. really happy with the outcome but dont have any meaningful images yet.

These are the KC SlimLite LED Mounted on the Maximus 3 Sports bar. I couldn't be happier with the look.

I thought for sure the cab would block most of the useful light but its not the case once on the road.

I was originally going to do exactly what you are talking about - driving lights on the outside and spots in the inside but turns out these SlimLites hit a happy middle ground that covers both pretty well.
