KC HiLites offers an intense and simple LED off-road light to maximize your vehicle-based adventures at night
Do you have a problem with darkness? It seems to get in the way quite a bit when trying to get to that perfect spot to set up camp or down that trail that leads to wherever it is you’re trying to get to. Over the last several decades, numerous manufacturers have flooded the market with their solution to the problem that is maximum night vision. I recently installed the 8″ SlimLite LED lights from KC HiLites on my Tacoma, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their performance.
Each light emits a powerful, 12,384 lumen beam of clean white light that significantly enhances visibility during nighttime driving. Whether I was navigating through dense forests or wide-open desert, the 8” SlimLites provide unparalleled illumination. With a selection of optional lens covers, available in clear, yellow, and amber, the beam pattern can be perfectly optimized to the environment. This versatility offers an ability to “tune” the lights and illuminate the entire path ahead without any dark spots or uneven distribution. Covering all the bases of providing a light system that can be outfit to meet the challenges of any adventure, KC has an available storage bag to keep your lenses and covers organized and accessible.
Installation was quick and simple thanks to the clear instructions and precisely engineered wiring harness provided by KC HiLites, the process is straightforward and hassle-free. The lights are also exceptionally durable, with a rugged design that can withstand the harshest conditions. They are fully weatherproof, which means I don’t have to worry about them failing in rain, snow, mud, or ending up full of the fine dust that is ever present on everything here in Arizona.
The 8″ LED SlimLite off-road lights from KC HiLites have exceeded my expectations in every way. I was impressed by their superior brightness and ease of care and design. I’m also happy to see the interchangeable lens/cover system, as different conditions call for different lighting.
Things I like:
🟢 – Intensity and clarity of the beam.
🟢 – Simple installation and well-planned design.
🟢 – Interchangeable covers and place to store them.
Things I don’t:
🔴 – I wish they had a “low power” mode. Mainly because I don’t want to blind anyone that may be coming the other way, and any reflective road or marker sign seems to be illuminated to maximum power when the beam hits.
Aside from that single drawback, the SlimLite is a top choice if you’re outfitting a new rig or updating a tired lighting package on your old reliable.
