Back In the Saddle Again

I have a 52” curved light bar that came with the truck. But I don’t really like the way they look. Idk I’ll mock it up there first and see if I like it. The issue with the round lights is it can hinder the storage capacity up top.
 
Not a fan of the cubes and rectangular light bars on anything. Truly overplayed everywhere.

If you want modern kick ass led lights in round packaging look at the new KC lights with led that look like the old Daylighters or the gravity line. Rigid had the 360 series lights in 4” and 6” diameters as well as Baja Designs LP6 and LP4 designs.

Only downside is cost. But they are all high quality units.

Yes the cost is divorce worthy I reckon lol

I can buy them through work but even our cost is stupid for them.

My plan is to get some basic halogen KC’s and retrofit H1 led bulbs to them. Though vintage KC Daylighters are going for dumb money now too. New halogen versions are reasonable compared to Rigid or BD.

I say that knowing I’m not going for perfect optics or running Baja at 80mph in the dark. I just want some added light when off road and it happens to be in the dark. I won’t be using them on pavement. I rarely wheel at night anyway so a huge investment in lighting is silly.

We don’t have any street lights out here and it gets dark super quick.
 
@ZooMad75, what is stupid money, I have a box of vintage kc Daylighters, with pink covers lol.
I’ve seen some on eBay and Craigslist like yours asking more for them than a new pair of halogen Daylighters. Don’t know if anybody actually paid for them but that’s the asking price.
 
Not sure what condition mine are in. Definitely used, my father in law bought them at the Palmdale swap meet 35 years ago, passed them of on me 20 years ago.
Will try to dig out and assess them
 
I've seen NOS packaged yellow KC smiley face covers (only 2 per pack!) sell for $150 on a FB page I follow for 70's/80's/90's show 4wd's. Surviving KC stuff is bringing big money.
