  • In this video, I show you an up close detailed look at the KC Gravity Pro Headlight and G4 Fog light, quickly show you how to install them and then take them out the trail and light them up to show you how their beam compares to the stock headlights on my Jeep.

    @mariodesmo 7 лет назад +1

    The amount of light (lumens) being put out is amazing in all three sets, the fogs, headlights, and overhead spots.
    Amazing lights for sure! Now for some night time wheeling!

  • @RubiconUnlimited
    @RubiconUnlimited 7 лет назад +7

    Wow so much light it's amazing! Headlight swaps should be done asap to anyone that hasnt already. Those floods were incredible too! I think I might spring on those floods soon. Sorry to hear about the drone!

    • @TrailRecon
      @TrailRecon  7 лет назад +2

      The drone is surprisingly doing just fine. I really thought I had totaled it after a fall like that.

    Great freakn review bro! That was excellent how u went from each light to the next in comparison. Gave me a great idea of how bright they actually are. Im sold im ordering today thanx 👍

  • @outlaw9232
    @outlaw9232 7 лет назад +5

    Brad, my friend.....You keep making me spend money! Very nice review. You really know how to show comparisons between the two. That is what most people want to see and you provide it. I love that they plug & play. The deer shot was a nice touch too!

    • @TrailRecon
      @TrailRecon  7 лет назад +1

      LOL! Don't blame me for your addiction... okay, maybe you can blame me little! That deer shot was my favorite part about the whole video, completely random that he just mosyed on out. Thanks man, always appreciated!

  • @rogue109
    @rogue109 7 лет назад +1

    I'm a big fan of my JW Speaker headlights and fog lights, but this video makes me think these KC lights are at least as good if not better. The fog lights seem to be better focused than my JW Speakers. But the JW Speaker headlights seem to be better "cut off" as to not blind oncoming drivers...it's hard to tell, but that's my impression anyway. Take it or leave it.
    By the way, having a way to enable your fog lights when your bright lights are on at the same time is a tremendous help with these sorts of lights. I bought a TrailDash2 to override the stock Jeep system that won't allow you to have your fog lights on when you switch on your bright lights....Having them both on at the same time is great. Also being able to engage your lockers without being in low range and being able to see pretty much every temp/gauge possible is nice too.

  • @truckerrickakamanowar
    @truckerrickakamanowar 7 лет назад +2

    Wow those KCs look great. Those fogs throw like Xtra offroad lights light-years better than stock. Bought KC 3" cubes for my Mopar light bar spot beams and I love em. I also run an auxbeam 7" in between them with a flood pattern also a great product and very happy with them. Another great video and your Jeep looks great very tastefully done with a modern nod to a classic look.

    man, that is really daytime in front of you, that is a ton of light. I love KC stuff, I have some Daylighters on the front of my Jeep right now. Would looooooooove that whole setup you have there, that is amazing!

    • @TrailRecon

  • @mauiman52
    @mauiman52 7 лет назад +2

    Congrats on your new lights Brad. KC Hilites is also great when it comes to warranty and service based on my experience. I had both the Gravity Pro and now the normal Gravity and I like the more even low beam pattern of the normal Gravity more than the Pro. However, when it comes to hi beam, the Pro's are just out of this world. Paired it also with the KC fog lights, which are a pain to put into the ARB front bumper (took my shop 2h as I was unable to get it done myself).

    • @TrailRecon
      @TrailRecon  7 лет назад

      Thank you! Couldn't agree with you more, the high beams on the Gravity Pro's are so amazing!!

    Dude you scared the crap out of me i jumped a bit though someone crashed into you 😅 also thank you again for the videos really helpfull i been going through alot with headlights first had hid, then got a pair of led headlights but the intensity and beam pattern was out of control i would get flipped off and blind people so i took them off now back to stock people still complain when im behind them but i think its my light adjustment its too high or i just cant do nothing about it since my jeep sits high. I like these and yes wish they sat more pushed in but they look great 👍🏼

    • @TrailRecon
      @TrailRecon  7 лет назад +1

      LOL! You can imagine how freaked out I was when it happened! I've had many folks in the past communicate with me in interesting ways when I was blinding them with other lights... none of that now. Thanks!

    Well, thought it is time to upgrade my stock headlights to LED, watched this video and these sounded awesome. But looked pricey, maybe a couple hundred bucks. Did the amazon search, and guess what! $800 bucks! I think my stock lights will be fine for now, since I'm not a silicon valley employee.

    Great review Brad! I have a 20" KC lightbar mounted in my grill and love it. I've been wanting new headlights and these couldn't be better! I hope to order in the next 30 days. BTW, if you get a Flashpaq from SuperChips (sets tire size, gear ratio, engine diags, etc) you can program the fog lights to run during the day and also have the fogs and high beams work at the same time. (Note, daytime mode isn't engaged until the Jeep is in drive. Took me forever to figure out why it wasn't working in park). By default, the fogs turn off when the highs are on.
    Hope to see you and your rig and the SDJC t-shirt run next weekend.

  • @thewilliam131
    @thewilliam131 7 лет назад

    As far as I have found in my own light tests (similar to yours) with two different lights, but I also swapped them around, as I suspected the left side is always brighter, no matter what light I put in there. My conclusion was that, as our country drives on the left side, they make the cars shine further on the left side so that you dont blind oncoming traffic on the right. Dont know if it is similar with your car or cars in America, but maybe just take that into conisderation on a possible next review :) Love the vids!

    • @TrailRecon

    Great review, Brad. Was planning to get the JW Speaker but I'll check these out. Just curious to know if you've had a chance to compare the KC's to the JW. Honestly, at that price point they must blow the JW's away?

    • @TrailRecon

  • @nate8271
    @nate8271 5 лет назад

    I'm thinking about doing this headlight upgrade, just need to justify the almost $800. If you're doing a long term review of some of your off roading gear in the future, could you add these lights in?

    They do look awesome, but come with a big price tag. The difference is clear between them and stock non-LED lights, but have you seen them compared with the upgraded LED lights on the JK now? I have those on mine and I'd be interested to see what the difference is between them and the KC's.

    • @TrailRecon

      I previously had some LED bulbs and I can say from my experience that there is a significant difference. You make a good point though, maybe some side by sides in the future are in order.

  • @rocklobsterjeeper4920
    @rocklobsterjeeper4920 4 года назад

    I have the Gravity 7" headlights and fog lights on my Jeep JK. The performance is awesome compared to the stock lights, but I have been getting consistent error codes indicating that the control circuit is high for the headlights. The driver side headlight stopped working back in June. KC replaced both headlights under warranty, and this past weekend the new driver's side headlight stopped working again. Has anyone had any experience with these "control circuit high" error codes? The codes go away when the stock lights are reinstalled, which are nowhere near as functional as the KC Hilite LEDs.

  • @marcgohn9532
    @marcgohn9532 6 лет назад

    Brad I was wondering how these would do in the snow . LED lights don't put out the heat like a regular headlight . So in a heavy storm will the snow stick to the light and freeze over making the light useless? Just a thought.

    • @TrailRecon
      @TrailRecon  6 лет назад

      That's a good question and they don't put out much heat so I can see that being an issue. I was hoping to up to the mountain this year to play in the snow, but adult stuff got in the way!
