Auxbeam V-Ultra Series LED Round Pods, 5 Inch 172W Offroad Driving Side Shooter Light with Amber DRL, 270° Wide Range 3 Modes Yellow/Amber Fog Hyper Spot Beam Ditch Lights with Black Cover

The media could not be loaded. I noticed a ton of the reviews on this product are actually for something else from Auxbeam. My review is for the following: Auxbeam 5In X-PRO Series LED Offroad Lights, 270° Ultra-Wide Side Shooter Driving Pods.This is a short-term review as I have only had them installed for a day. I'll update down the road with a longer-term one.I had a cheapy 18" light bar on my front bumper and two small pods which at first, I thought was bright. That was when my Jeep XJ had halogen headlights so pretty much anything is bright compared. I then upgraded to LED headlights and when the lightbars were on my headlights were actually better. I figured it was time for new auxiliary lights.I looked at KC and Baja Designs and just can't bring myself to spending $500 to $800 for 2 lights. Are they better? Probably. Are they brighter? Probably. Am I racing the Baja 1000 in my XJ? Nope, sometimes I do pretend to :=) Do I really need a $600 set of lights getting stolen while out hiking or biking? NO.Ok, my initial impressions are the following:1. They are bright, very bright2. Beam pattern is well-done. I have them mounted on front bumper where they are close to the turn signals. They throw light far, the side-shooters really do a good job of getting light to the sides. This was a big improvement over my last setup. I almost don't need ditch lights.3. Wiring Harness: Impressed actually. I wasn't going to use them at first as I already had a relay and switch setup already done. After inspecting the harness, I gave it a shot. The hardest part is drilling a hole in the firewall to get the switch into the cab. The rest is basically Millennial/Gen-Z proof. (you'll know you are one of the 2 if you are offended by that, LOL)4. On/Off Switch: Seems a little cheap. Time will tell. It is lit up with Red (off)/ Green (on) lights.5. Mounting hardware: Good, no complaints. Very adjustable.6. Installation Instructions: Good. Didn't even need to get my Chinglesh phone translator out. You really don't need any instructions to install this.The only thing I can't review is the longevity. I will post something in a couple of months or sooner if I have any issues. Hope this helps you.

Very easy installation. Wiring harnesses comes with plenty of wiring. It will easily reach roof rack, side pillar or front bumper. Great value at the price point. Very bright. Great coverage area.

Theyre super bright. Build quality seems to be good. They work great. They shine across all 4 lanes of the highway. But do have a focused hotspot in front of you. Time well tell how they hold up but as of now, if youre on the fence just buy them.

The lights are nice but the gloss black finish is bad it comes off with minimal pressure the lights don’t look heavy duty like others I have used but they do shine great I got the white and does the job. I like the covers and the switch is easy to use.

Amazing clarity with easy to install instructions. Really lights up The Path on my wife's Jeep. Great value and quality.

Bright lights and easy to mount

I received the kit from Amazon sealed with all parts inside. When I inspected the harness, I was a little suspicious by the relatively thin wire for the main power supply. I opened the contained fuse holder to find a 10A blade fuse installed. If these were 168W lights, they would blow a 10A fuse running on a nominal 12V or even max charge of 14.6V. The formula for Watts is VoltsxAmps (W=VxA). On a 12V battery, 168/12 = 14A, and if running on a fully charged battery with the engine running, the current draw would be 168/14.6=11.5A. I measured my current draw on these 2 lights installed with the supplied harness using a calibrated clamp on DC current meter and they are pulling 9.3A, which at 12V provides a power consumption of 9.3x12=111.6W. Very disappointed in these lights.I reached out to Auxbeam with this information and this is the response I got. “theoretical power”Hi dear Arlian,Thank you for your email.The data in the link is theoretical power. The actual power is related to the current output and voltage.Hope you can understand this.Best Regards,Linly

Awesome lights for my RZR
