Having trouble deciding which offroad light you should buy? This video will be a huge help! Here, KC HiLiTES shows you the various components that make up an off-road light. These consist of the housing, the reflector, and the lens. Then of course, the light source is contained within all of that. There are many differences between LED lights, HID lights, and Halogen lights, but they all use these same main components.

In the coming weeks, more videos will be released that cover other topics that will help you decide which off-road light is best for you. Stay tuned! If you have any suggestions for videos you'd like to see, or questions you want answered, submit them in the comment section below.
