Most of us know the importance of off-road lighting as it gets seriously dark on nighttime trail runs. The farther away from city lights and deeper into the boonies you go, the more important extra lumens become. High-output light bars, better headlights and other upgraded lighting options are a must to see where you are going and keep you out of trouble. Getting lost, driving off the trail or crashing into an obstacle are not the best things during the day and even less fun at night.

To prevent any of those sketchy scenarios from happening, the focus is usually on maximizing forward illumination. The right combination of beam patterns and lights creates a deep, broad field of light in front of your vehicle. With the ideal setup, vision at night is massively improved, and you no longer stumble around in the dark. Night runs become more fun, and you can’t wait to get out after dark.

What to Look for in Rock Lights

Back in the day, people used tractor lights for rock lights. They were big, cheaply made and broke often. Tractor lights were far from ideal, but there weren’t many options at the time. Thankfully, modern LED technology has changed that and allows for compact, robust and powerful lights. All are traits you want in rock lights, as a small size lets them be mounted almost anywhere. Our Oracle ColorSHIFT® Rock Lights and newly released True White Rock Lights measure only 2 inches across allowing for a multitude of mounting options. And if space is at a premium, our unique and minuscule 3-Watt Single Color LED Rock Lights are even smaller. Those diminutive dimensions also help make for rugged housings with tough lenses. And modern LEDs produce more lumens than any tractor lights could ever dream of.

Another important consideration for rock lights is beam width. The idea is to flood the area around your tires with light, so a wide beam is more important than projecting light over a distance. With a unique three-emitters per-light design, our Oracle RGB+W LED Rock Lights produce a super-wide 230-degree spread of light. It is the best coverage of any LED rock light on the market and is exactly what you need for those dark nights – it also works with our all-new ColorSHIFT® Pro App coming soon. Check out our video of them being installed on a new Ford Bronco below.

What you're saying makes sense but all of the content show them positioned to light up the wheel well in color.

If the desired look is to show off chrome plated coilovers and 22" wheels why don't we call them accent lighting rather than rock lights?

I'm not personally a big fan of RGB rock lights. I'd prefer ones that just do a really good job of putting out a lot of white light. I'm not really looking for my Jeep to star in the next Fast and Furious movie, I'm trying to keep vital parts from landing on a boulder I didn't see. And I don't really need to control them with my smartphone, just a button on the dash is fine - so I'd be paying for a lot of tech I don't really want

Those are tire lights, not rock lights.

The pods are installed to light up the wheel well and the suspension area, agreed! If you are interested in illuminating the actual wheels, I would suggest the Wheel Rings!

Makes sense! We offer a simplistic white version of the Rock Lights, that do just that! You can purchase a cheaper style kit, same quality and similar output, with just WHITE Led Pods, and you can add your own switch!

See here!

ROCK lights do not go in the wheel well. They should be installed under bumpers/frame/body/sliders/etc. to illuminate the ground. I like them not only for night runs but also for at camp.

Legitimate constructive criticism (AKA not trying to be a jerk): Marketing to a Jeep forum where many are serious off-roaders should be tailored to actual off-road use (i.e. proper installation, white lights/switched as primary, fancy colors/Bluetooth as options for those few that want that).

The great part about this product is its universal so installing in any location is possible!

To your point (and appreciate all feedback) agreed! We mention all styles in the article including the all WHITE Style linked above to! The point is you can get various style and install in various locations!

Hope any information is helpful and informative!

Flexibility in mounting was important to me when it came to my rockights. I settled on a set that are waterproof and have magnets built in to the base to allow them to be stuck just about anywhere under my Jeep TJ. After a decade they are right where I stuck them and working like a charm.

The no drill mounting and flexibility to close the garage door, flip on the rock lights, easily move them around to get the optimal light coverage before cleaning up the wiring was the best selling point and I will look for the same in rock lights for my JL.

That's exactly what I wanted. Neodymium magnet mounted and fully podded units to withstand life in the dirtiest of mounting locations.

PM me if you're interested in the details.
