KC Daylighters

About KC HiLites

KC HiLites was started in 1970 in the garage of Pete Brown.  Interestingly enough, when he wanted to install some auxiliary lights on his off road vehicle, he tried the landing lights off of airplanes first.  Back in that time, auxiliary and off road lights were not available.  Needless to say, that did not work out so well for him.  So, he made some modifications and created his own.  He made a few sets (wiring included) for some friends and that saw the birth of a new era.  Since then, KC has always been the front runner in off road and auxiliary lights. 

Daylighters

Daylighters were the first lights manufactured by KC for wholesale to the public.  They have remained popular with off road vehicles for over thirty years now and can be seen in use on the vehicles of some famous off road race teams.  They are very important to the race teams because these races are sometimes carried out after dark and the only way the racers can see ahead of them while going at speeds of up to 125 mph is by the auxiliary lights.  This makes the lights performance and endurance incredibly important.  That being said, it is very telling that KC Daylighters are the lights most used by these racers.

Long Range

Long range lights come in varying sizes and two per package.  They are shock mounted and are round with steel housings that have been chrome plated.  The lights use halogen bulbs.  Included in the packages are plastic covers as well as the wiring harnesses needed for installation. 

Driving

Driving lights are mounted a bit differently than long range lights.  As such, the wiring included in the package with these lights is a relay style set that is pre-terminated.  These lights also use halogen bulbs and include plastic covers. 

Fog

Fog lights by KC (Daylighter style), do not include the wiring systems in the packages.  They are also sold one at a time instead of in packages of 2.  They have a fog beam pattern and use halogen bulbs like the other Daylighters.

Flood

KC Daylighter flood lights are also sold singly.  They do include the plastic cover and they use halogen bulbs.  The difference here is in the beam pattern.  Flood lights have the flood beam pattern. 

There are multiple accessories available for each of the Daylighter styles mentioned above.
