8 Inch Polymax HID Driving Light Kit


While a common trait of off road drivers is that they are not afraid of being in the dark, driving off road becomes even more treacherous when the sun goes down.  Obstacles that may be difficult to see during the day become nearly invisible at night.  Things like fallen branches, massive boulders and even craggy ditches can bring even the most epic of adventures to a screeching halt.  Before you head out into the wilds, you need to make sure that you will be able to see when you get there.  What better way to do that than with a set of the HID driving lights made by KC HiLites?

When you are rolling with the KX HID driving lights, candlepower is never something that you will lack.  All that you have to do is flip the switch and their HID bulbs will shine like they are little suns.  All of the light that they produce is then focused and channeled by polished reflectors that have been computer designed into whatever your choice of beam patterns is.  Choose from the driving spread or the long range pencil beam pattern.  Additionally, they are available in your choice of two sizes.  Choose from a 6 inch diameter or an 8 inch diameter.  This allows them to be fitted to a spacious light bar on your roof or even on a grille guard that might be a bit crowded.

Even the elements aren’t a match for these driving lights that KC HiLites makes.  The housings for these lights are made from a composite called Polymax that is then sealed according to IP67 standards.  These housings are impervious to moisture and dust and you can submerse them totally without having to worry about water getting inside them.  Additionally, you can purchase these lights individually or as a kit that comes complete with a wiring harness of the Plug – and - Play type and 2 lights.  The best thing about these lights though is that – like all KC HiLites – they are covered by a warranty that is good for 23 years.
