Generic brand lights my favorite accessory store has. Similar in size to LP4’s (I’m guessing not the same quality). They were only $100 so I figured what the hell? I thought they looked cool, but man they glared like a bastard off the hood.

XL80s on Alternative Offroad Mounts. No glare in cab but Magnetic paint with decals.

OH the outside of the A-Pillars. I dunno why I was expecting the inside of the truck with boost gauges and etc lol.

As a complete lighting novice, how is the XL80 light output in a driving combo versus say a LP4 spot? Would the forum tend to recommend one versus the other? And preferred mount being Alternative Off-road or SDHQ? Is glare a function of proper aiming or just a light pattern being incorrect for mounting position?

Thanks in advance for answering the rudimentary questions,

Sorry to thread jack but what hood protector is that and are you happy with it?

Our go to for A-pillars has always been the XL80's. The sheer amount of light they put it out is hard to beat. The LP4 is a popular option as well, but the with the side emitting LED's, you tend to get a lot of light wash across your hood which leads to glare. We find blacking out the inward facing LED's minimizes that. We've got both LP4's and XL80's good in stock along with plenty of hood mounts.

IMO you want spot lenses for pillar lights. They’re much higher than the headlights and less easily obstructed, so you get a lot of extra distance, enhanced perspective and less likely that the beams are obstructed by brush. The downside of ditch lights is in dusty conditions they just create white out or yellow out ( ewww...). You can always turn them off.
