LED Offroad Lights suggestions
« on: January 12, 2012, 10:33:21 PM »
I am looking to get a pair of LED driving lights for the bush bar in the Durango. I currently have some dual beam Piaas on there and plan to keep them. I would like to add some small LEDs on each side for additional light on the trails or the highway. I am leaning towards the Rigid Dually D2s @ 2600 lumens each and they are quite small too.

Does anyone have experience with these lights or an you make some other brand suggestions such as VisionX?

Also, is there a Rigid dealer in Calgary?

I've got some Vision X s4100 on my bumper and some D2's on my windshield bracket.  I did order some Dually's to replace my fogs but they haven't come in yet.  The D2's I have are a driving beam, fog/spot all in one and the Vision X I have are spot.  In some respects the Dually give me more usable light, nice wide beam, 100' to 150' wide and about 200' in front of you.  If I was to do it again with the Vision X, I would have done a Euro or flood beam with them.  I've adjusted them up a little higher and about 3 degrees to the outside, so the light is more to the sides.

Depending on where you put the D2's they could look small... try them in some different places and see.  I had someone ask what they look like on my PSC brawler bumper... didn't look good on the top of the hoop.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

You probably know this but any 'driving' light must be mounted slightly below the factory headlight height in order to be legally turned on for city/highway driving. Nothing worse than some idiot with lights all over their rig coming towards you.

I don't use my Vision X or D2's on the road.  Only at night when it's appropriate.  I'm not sure if there is a dealer in Calgary for Rigids.  I've gotten mine from a friend out of Miami.
