KC HiLites vs Baja Designs

[DanW]

Redundancy of "BD Designs" notwithstanding, you're probably correct. However, you have not used the product in question, nor do you seem to have any direct experience with it. Point being, your opinion isn't super helpful here.



Yes, I would expect that. With several incarnations of the knockoff squadrons available, I'm willing to test these out to save ~$500. Amazon's return policy is the shrewd online shopper's friend.

Again, in a different life, BD everything.

Yep, just an opinion, so take it or leave it. No sweat off my junk.

But I can and will vouch for the very high quality and high level of support @BajaDesigns gives you for the money. They rebuilt a set of Fuego spot lights for me years after they were discontinued. One had a pinched seal and corroded inside. When they were returned to me they were indistinguishable from brand new. And no questions asked. I actually still have them.

On my 2012 JK, I had a 50" Baja Designs Stealth light bar. I traded my JK on my JL but I kept the light bar. I didn't want to put in on the JL because of the wind noise, otherwise I loved it. I'd had the lighbar on my Jeep for 4 years and had planned to sell it and buy some LP9 Pro's. The one issue with the bar was that the powder coating had turned to a copper color. I contacted BD support to see if it was possible to find out the best way to recoat it. They said they didn't make the bar any more and wouldn't recommend taking it apart and recoating it but would happily exchange it towards any current lights they offered at 70%. So I got a set of LP9 Pro's for almost nothing.

They are just an outstanding company. It busted my wallet to buy the LP6 lights, but I waited for a sale to help out a little. But they were worth it. And no noise like the light bar.

Knowing how good the LP6 lights are, I can't imagine the LP9's. They must be incredible!

I get it. Seems like a great company. However, methinks that greatness is over-accounted for in their pricing. I cannot vouch for Jim, Carla, and Ted (LBH Jin, Chun-Chieh, and Tao) over at ShittyLED, but I'm excited to work with them.

I'm running the BD LP9 Pro's on my Jeep. I've tried other lights and there simply aren't anything that compare to them. Phenomenal lighting, near, far and to the side. Definitely the best looking too.

looks amazing! which grill guard?

So from what I can tell on-line, KC only does one sale per year (Black Friday). Does BD do sales throughout the year?

If you call BD directly, they will usually give you 5% off just for asking.

They have a forum discount! Message them here on the forum. You want to talk to Bill Sonevongxay. @BajaDesigns
