White VS Amber High Performance Offroad Lighting

  • Offroad lighting... There are many different styles, colors, beam patterns, and brands. But what are the differences, and which one suits your offroading needs best?
    In this video, we install a bunch of high performance lights from Baja Designs on my Jeep Gladiator, my JKU Wrangler, and the LJ.
    Like i mentioned, this video is sponsored by Baja Designs and they are offering you guys a 10% off discount code (JKGAG)!
    Here are the lights we are installing and taking a look at in this video.
    LP6 Amber Driving Combo: www.bajadesigns.com/Products/...
    LP6 White Spot: www.bajadesigns.com/Products/...
    Squadron Pro Amber Driving Combo: www.bajadesigns.com/led-auxil...
    Squadron Pro White Wide Cornering: www.bajadesigns.com/products/...
    S2 Pro: www.bajadesigns.com/products/...
    S2 Sport: www.bajadesigns.com/products/...
    Now, i understand these lights are expensive. I also understand that there are some people that are fine with cheaper LED pods and lightbars as they still do the trick. But there is no doubt that these lights are the best of the best, and i know that there are many people who want the best that you can get for your Jeep or Offroad Rig, and these are it.
    The Amber driving combo lights are my personal favorite, as they mix great with LED headlights and fill in the surrounding spaces. They also offer better lighting in dust, rain, snow, and fog which is very common when offroading.
    As for beam patterns, it depends on what you want. A driving combo is a great mix of a spot and flood light, giving you the best of both worlds. A spot beam will be better for high speed offroading, were a full flood (Wide cornering) will benefit slower offroad and trail riding.
    Adding multiple lights to your Jeep with different beam patterns (like i did on the JK), is a great setup and provides a ton of light output while still looking good and not over done (Compared to multiple cheap pods and various lightbars).
    I hope you found this video interesting, and i hope you were able to see the differences!!
    Thank you for watching, and im looking forward to showing you guys the next thing we have planned for the Jeeps!!

      @@JKGearandGadgetsI gotcha! I'm upgrading my headlights to the JW speakers and contemplating the Trail 6's. Also was thinking of the Baja Design OnX6 10" light bar. Then I saw your Naja Design video with the LP6's. Made me re evaluate again! Since the LP6's have a high and low setting...should i just put the money into them instead of the Trail6's?!?! Like you said...good lights arent cheap. Trying to spend wisely.. :-)

    One thing that I noticed right away is that the amber light spectrum is much easier on your eyes for long distant driving at night. Also saves some of your night vision. Incredible lights.

    Nice comparison of white and amber. I have 2015 JKU. I put KC 6" gravity pro's on the A pillar, KC Gravity pro headlights. And I just got a Baja Designs S8 10" amber bar for my front bumper. That light is freaking bright! I like the light spectrum and the fact you can change to clear lens if you want to. Amber is the go to out west in the dust.

    We run Rigid fogs on the front bumper, and set of dual Quadratec flood and spot cubes on the front window pillars and Quadatec cube floods on the rear bumper. We also have a set of generic rock lights, but we are planning to change them out soon. All auxiliary lights are run through a sPod. We do a lot of night wheeling in the desert, and this setup seems to work well for our purpose.

    I have my Amber Baja Designs 45w mounted on the cowl - near A pillar. They help in cutting through snow/fog particulates before hitting vertical field of view. That’s why the Ambers go at or near eye level IMO. Next, the flood beam (Clear) driving lights (got my 75w lights from Quadratec) go at bumper height, because the purpose is to sweep wider and longer than running just headlights alone.
    That is to say that I’m basically running the same setup as your Red JK. 👍🏻

    I use KC 3" cubes with LaminX amber films on my a pillar alligned to follow my headlights in rainy/foggy weather, they work excellent. I use 7" round auxbeam driving and spot combo on my mopar light bar very powerful light great for offroad. Thr auxbeams are heavy with a combined weight of 14 lbs lol had to get a friend to weld reinforcements where the bar connects to my frame 😁 in order to stop the light bar from shaking when hitting bumps. Both sets of lights are holding up well considering all the salt sand and whatever else they mix in during winter months. I am also running highbeam offroad headlights. I installed them in September and so far they have been excellent. Went with the drifter series saw those on your channel. Love that they are lifetime replacement and sae dot approved. Great light output pattern and cutoff when alligned properly also when the highbeams are used they work great sending straight spot beams straight down the road just like anyone would want love them.

    Great video as always. When I bought my JK 8 months ago it had some cheaper led pods and light bars on it. Still does but have been looking for upgrades. After seeing this video I know what brand I want to go with now. Just have to figure out which ones I want.

  • @williamlee7782
    @williamlee7782 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Mounting the S2 low like you did on your truck bed is the way I go. I had them on my JKU's rhino rack roof rack and holy smokes.....way too bright on the eyes when you look at your jeep.
    I use a pair of squadrons made with a wiring loom for the JK which also fits into the fog light position on the AEV bumper. My favorite lights. Lights up the sides and slightly forward enough for safely driving at night with wildlife.

  • @NHseacoast
    @NHseacoast 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just discovered your channel. I'd say Amber! The nice thing about Amber is you can use them in the warmer months when your camping etc and they act like a bug light the don't attract bugs as much as white do.

    I've decided to go Amber lights and I have a cheap set of harbor freight halogens on the Jeep now. Going to upgrade later to a more permanent setup with better wiring. But even the 55w halogen ambers make a big difference over just the headlights and fog lights.

    I have found that a combo of amber and white works well in the dust. Just white reflects to much dust and light reflecting on the windshield. Shows dust to the point it is hard to see . Though being from Arizona I'm a KC fan.

    I have cheap blaze lights around 30 bucks a pair up by their windshield. Just purchased cube lights from Harbor freight they were not expensive either and both are extremely bright. So far the only ones fogging up are the blaze. I’ve been running them on my jeep for a few years “blaze“, and so far they have not failed me except for the fog up. Those are awesome but extremely expensive, Too much for my wallet. I do like the amber for fog and snow.
