    I've been offroading (REAL offroad, like racing in Baja and rock crawling the "Hammers") since 1965. I learned a LONG time ago that lights mounted close to the driver's line of sight work well to light up the road, but they make the road look dead flat. Because there are no shadows to define rough ground. Rough desert or forest trail looks like an airport runway. This is not terrible at speeds under 20mph. But can get you in trouble at higher speed. Like cruising down a dirt road that LOOKS smooth, but has nasty ruts, rocks and bumps.

    This jeep transformation has been a blast to watch! And these lights lend themselves to the look of it very well. Also helps that they are matchy matchy with the LP6s lol

    I have been waiting for a review and light demonstration of the LP4s mounted on the A pillars for months and I think your the first person that has done it on the Jeep. I have been debating about getting the XL80’s or the LP4’s for the A pillar for awhile now. I’d like to see what the hood reflection looks like from inside the vehicle with the light straight out in front and then moving out towards the sides. Thanks so much for the video!

    I really like Diode Dynamics lights, but BD look really good on the Jeep. I just might have to go that route. However I also have a '94 GMC Yukon (2 door/4x4) that I could transfer my DD lights to. I really enjoy your channel. Even more so because we have the same vehicles.

    I'm the same way when it comes to mods. I love the look of the KC light bars and would love a rhino rack but even with my 35's I'm already pushing it on parking structures. I just ordered some 37s and I know it'll be even harder. A drawback to also thinking about weight in my jeep (I don't have a rear bumper and have replaced everything with aluminum means that my rear is quite high as well. It works out when wheeling weight wise and when camping since I just sleep in my jeep but who knew those would be the problems that come up.

    Happy New Year 2023! Where is Pinto, need for the New Year. I added the Quadratec 50-inch inside the cabin (behind windshield) lightbar. Heard one was being made for the JK as well. The only issue is if you're tall it intrudes a bit into your field of view, especially at traffic intersections. Since it's behind the windshield, I am not sure how it would be viewed in CA for covering but have had no complaints on elsewhere. GOD bless and best wishes to you for the new year.

    • @AutoEdits

      Just to mix it up... I have the amber on the LP6s in front so I thought the corner illumination should be brighter since it's not for bad weather or dust... just strongest vision.

    I've got some Baja Design Squadron Sport lights that I was considering putting on the A-pillar of my Bronco. The cowl has a mounting spot with a bolt already, but I wonder if mounting the light that low will cause way too much scatter off the hood. Have you done any testing to see how much differences having the light raised up a few inches makes?

    Random question, can you mount the mount turned 90 degrees (sideways), and then turn the light 90 degrees? Would require threads on the top and bottom of the light. I couldn't figure it out based off their instructions.
