Baja racers use LED's now, not HID's

[showerfan]

i just watched the amazing film DUST TO GLORY, about the Baja 1000. i didn't see any square lighting -- seemed they were all using HID's. but that was 2007.

so now a quick google search confirms that most 2013 trophy trucks have switched to LED's, and the big round lights were few and far between.

is it fair to say that the pros, with endless amounts of , have switched? and if so, who is supplying the big winners? Baja Designs? Vision X? KC?

HID lights give you a farther beam but LEDs are low profile. It's a toss up. But most companies use LEDs

Baja designs is the tops!!!

Yes, they've all made the switch to LED for the most part. Some of them are still running a few HIDs here and there because they generally do shine a greater distance than LED. KC, VisionX, Baja Designs, and Rigid Industries are the big names for LED. If you want to know what the best lights are, I'd look at what lights the lower class guys are running... you know, the guys who actually pay for their lights. I'm not taking anything away from any of the brands, but guys like BJ Baldwin aren't paying for their Rigid Industries lights and Andy McMmillin isn't paying for Baja Designs. I personally rank VisionX and Baja Designs at the top of the pack and equal in terms of overall greatness. I feel VisionX has a little more output and slightly better optics, but Baja Designs has a much more versatile product, more product offerings, and a lot more innovative with their products. They are both expensive! Just my $0.02!

because baja truck teams care about how low profile and sleek their lights are

all about the sponsorships and what they get for free

have you seen a KC lights race setup? The 70 watt pods rock, add a few LEDs down low and your good to go. Just love this setup, high tech with the old school look!

The KC Pods are badass! I saw one once and now I'm blind from looking at it too long.
