Lighting Kit Comparisons

Yes you do have a lifetime warranty with VisionX but they are made in South Korea.

Agreed. After additional research, it apprears that Vision X does make some of their lights in the U.S., but in fact the "Light Cannons" are made in South Korea as you stated.

Great Comparison! Thanks for the info.

Is the KC fog kit the same one listed here at $382?

Yep, that's a much better price on the C-Series.

They also have the LZR's for $616 KC 340 10 13 F150 Raptor LZR LED Fog Lights Kit Cube x4 Brackets Harness | eBay

Only downside is that that's not a forum vendor, so you're relying on KC directly for any support/warranty issues you may have. Normally with ebay vendors the customer service is about what you'd expect.

Good find.

I agree. Great job organizing these lights together on a spreadsheet.

Also worth mentioning - TMX has their BlackHawk series which I believe are comparable to the M&R lights in lumens, warranty, and price.


STOCK BUMPER Options:

To maximize the light output with the stock bumper, adding a set of Whelens in the license plate area (around the winch in Joe's case) made an amazing difference for me. They come with 4 lenses that range between spot and flood combinations of both.

My setup:
Driving lights - Dually's
Driving lights/Floods (variable lenses) - Whelens (around the plates)
Distance lights - 40" E series behind the grill (center=spot pattern, edges=flood pattern)

The net effect is very deep and penetrating (can see half a mile away), yet also a close and midrange broad night output result.

All blending together in one smooth panoramic arc of light - they work together to seamlessly light up the night - while at the same time having an aesthetically pleasing appearance utilizing the stock bumper openings.

Do you have Duallys or D2s? I thought Duallys were only available in a spot or flood pattern and that D2s were available in a driving pattern.

I agree on not supporting the vendors. Actually that is why I posted to make sure it was the same. Although $100 savings and free shipping is pretty big.

Trying to decide on attending Havoc in the Hills. Have to get my accessory budgets in line.

That's a very fair comparison! Give me a call if I can help you out at all, or if you have any questions about the kits that we carry! We'd be more than happy to help you out

Ive done some comparison on the 40" myself and found that I like the Baja Design features the best. The fact that you can change optics yourself is a +. The fact that it puts out more lumens than most other bars of the same size category is another +. BD also makes a Pro Series lightbar in a 37" that puts out 21500 lumens compared to the Standard 40" (actual 38") of 17200 lumens for another $300 more. i noticed in your spreadsheet that you had the BD 40" bar listed as a Squadron. It is in fact an ONX Standard lightbar.

Anyway, I guess its all personal choice in the end.

I'll look these up and add them. I'm looking at the baja designs site under Raptor kits and I only see the onx. Is there somewhere else that is offering this Pro Series with a bracket?

Not sure where you see that, the link I have is to the 44" OnX on alternative offroad, it is listed as such. The only mention of the squadron lights is on the fog lights sheet.

Do it!! It is going to be one of the best Runs ever. If funds are tight and you cant swing the lights, dont worry about it, you will still be able to do all the day track runs and the Sunday ORV runs, just not the night run (for your own safety as the OEM headlights alone will not provide you the lumens necessary.)

The 44" OnX that we carry is the PRO series
