Off road Led Lights comparison - Harbor Freight, Baja Design, Knockoff "LP6", Auxbeam

[@4WDisLife]

I am planning on doing more comparisons like this one, please comment on what lights you want to see compared below, thank you!

[@gregmacklem]

Compare a small lightbar to a pair of these lights. Seems like the lightbar should win easily enough?

[@gregmacklem]

Oh, and thanks for this comparison. Good stuff!

[@4WDisLife]

@@gregmacklemonly light bar experience I have is with the Auxbeam 5D pro and it was amazingly bright.

[@4WDisLife]

@@gregmacklem guess what, I am going to get an auxbeam 5dpro 12inch light bar and compare it with HF rs6, and two other round lights just to see how different/similar they are, I am super curious too.

[@4WDisLife]

@@gregmacklem were you able to see this comparison on my channel? posted recently. cheers!

Harbor freight has been killing it in the off road community. Not all of us can afford $1000 winches and $1000 lights. Thank you for this video

[@4WDisLife]

Totally. Thank you for commenting.

[@nickaltvater5592]

And there's a HG near all of us for easy warranty returns

[@David-Drums]

I just made a light bar with 6 of the harbor freight 4s. (6s are way to big for a light bar). The HB lights are amazing for the price and quality

[@4WDisLife]

Six of these HF RS4 lights would be super bright for any condition

[@HectorHernandez-ij5yu]

I have been breaking my head trying to figure out where to start to figure out how to make a light bar with the HF lights for my off road vehicle. Do you have any resources or guidance? Thanks in advance

[@David-Drums]

@@HectorHernandez-ij5yu I already had the light bar mount for my Wrangler JK. The kind that is tubular and goes on the sides and all the way across the the top. I used L iron and bolted them on the vertical part. The HB lights have 2 bolts per side. I just used 1 per side and the aloud the mount to swivel to the rear of the light. I did this to keep the lights from sticking up so high. It lowered them about halfway. Then I wired them up to each other. They pull a lot of power so you have to use a bigger gauge wire for the harness. I had all 6 on one harness but the wire was getting hot. I wired 3 and 3 then to 2 separate switches and It works fine now. I also flipped the lights upside down cuz the plugs in the back were to close to the windshield. You can’t even tell really.

[@carlcvplow2432]

Added the HF lights last week and am extremely happy with every aspect of them. Your video validated my decision.

[@4WDisLife]

right? Build quality and light output is definitely very good.

[@jimmysollistorsveen4561]

Harbor freight, I’m impressed small light with side shooters, really good length and trowing distance 👌 but as a Norwegian still quite expensive, compared to what we got over for almost half the price with twice the outputs, but I love the looks 😍 Watched a lot of your comparison videos, you both make it understandable, and field tests that actually shows the light. Keep it up!

[@free2chasehappy]

Best comparison on youtube. There is no way I’m dropping $1k just to get a set of light. Harbor Freight is performing at 90% while at third of the price. They are absolutely killing it with the Roadshock line. I hope to put a set on my car before winter!

[@TheAnimal191]

Man, super well done video. Ive been considering the HF lights, specifically the 3 inch LED pairs for my bike and the $100 4 LED spotlight and I can't find anything this comprehensive on any of them. This review of the Edge gives promise for the others. I appreciate that you actually measured the LUX and not just lumens and took the time to address things like the better side light spread. Not many people do such comprehensive reviews so your work stands out. Lookin forward to more! *Also, not sure if a shootout between all the new HF lights would bring enough revenue to fund the whole project but Id certainly watch it 😊

[@dragonmaster391]

I think these roadshock edge lights might be answering the lighting need and desire people have been trying to satisfy. These lights aren't about marketing numbers and data points, these are lights people use & then they start caring about lighting quality. hotspots are ugly and take more effort for your body to process than smooth even lighting. The amber covers are totally the better choice of lighting, I know some people are crazy about bright white leds, but yellow & amber are so much better at night. People are over light bars, there's no good reason to use one when a single set of pod lights will outperform. right now people are nostalgic for old off road lights, but want modern equivalents.

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

Thank you for showing what a driver would actually see from an off road light. I watched Harbor Freights on the new Edge lights and they placed the camera about 20 feet from the light and Pointed directly into the light. That tells a driver Nothing about the down the road view of the beam. Sure it is bright when pointed into your eyes but so is a Pen Light.

[@4WDisLife]

Thanks the comment and yes, I intentionally not trying to film into the lights since any light would “blind” the camera at night if point right at it.

[@reximusmaximus3255]

I've been running BD LP4 and LP6 lights on my 1st gen tacoma for over 4 years in every imaginable weather condition as I live where it shows, is foggy, blizzards, sand storms, etc. I can't count how many times I've had dudes stop to talk to me about how much better my lights are in all conditions on road or off-road.

[@4WDisLife]

Yes, I have no doubt that BD lights are built solid, personally I have two pairs of their squadron lights, and they have been good for me. I will test out the longevity of the HF's new lights on my vehicle and report back.

[@woody4u247]

Excellent video with great nighttime comparisons. Baja is insane @ just under $1000 for two lights... I don't care how good they are... I wouldn't spend that much. The Harbor Freight lights are extremely impressive. I particularly like how wide the peripheral illumination is. Even though these are listed as off road use only... we all know many people who live in rural areas will use these to watch for Deer etc... and the wide illumination is perfect for watching Ditches. but they also have a powerful long distance throw for long distance illumination. BD simply isn't worth their over 3x higher price... I actually purchased the first set of the HF LED6's at my local store..when they had their 15%off special, no exclusions. so they were like $127 each, they know me as a regular so they allowed me to make two separate purchases to get the deal on each one (it was a 1 discount per person/per day thing). they never even knew they existed & had never seen them... I showed them the HF website listing, they searched the item number... and they had to go in the back room & dig thru their recent pallet delivery to find a box. I bought their first and only set. sold individually, but boxed in groups of two. I can tell you, even the box is high quality... the lights themselves are Hefty, they feel substantial. they have nice finishes & quality wiring. (important note: it's worth it to buy their premade wiring/dual switch (like $59 i think).... being these need a pretty heavy gauge wire for the amperage draw & have low & high positions as well as an optional amber backlight.... they must be wired with separate dedicated power leads for low & high... you CANNOT power low beam & them add power to the high beam trigger.. you'll damage them... each trigger wire must be independently powered one or the other at a time. I've had their cheaper road shock pod lights for several years & use them literally every day as a driving/fog light... zero problems, no water/condensation issues, no burnt out diodes or frosted lenses... those are their cheaper ones... still happy...I also have the Rigid pod lights, they are a bit brighter, work perfectly, but again, 3x more & the finish on those has peeled after 5 years. These new line of H.F. EDGE lights.. you can tell the quality is way better.. so I think these are gonna be VERY popular for the average consumer... most people can justify $149 per light (300/set) but it's really hard to choke down the thought of $980 (plus tax) for something not much better... and even then... it's a personal opinion if it's even noticeable for 3x more.... Harbor Freight knocked these lights outta the park!

[@4WDisLife]

100% agree, well said!

[@Telamonster2]

What is the color temperature like on the HF lights versus the BD ones? The blue quality of most aftermarket LEDs really bothers me, so I've installed Diode Dynamics yellow lights with clear lenses retrofit for a nice ~4k kelvin temperature. The periphery lighting of the HF RS6 lights has me really interested in putting a pair of them on the roof rack, instead of the LP9 sports that I've been trying to justify.

[@4WDisLife]

I think the HF’s color temp is not too far from BD’s LP6, if you watch the video where I flip between those two quickly, they color temp to me seems similar.

[@4WDisLife]

And don’t forget the HF has a 4 shooter, imo it would be a better choice on the roof of trucks, could literally get a whole row of those and still be under the cost of a pair of lp9s.

[@Telamonster2]

@@4WDisLife Do you there is much compromise for the peripheral lighting on the HF RS4 lights compared to the RS6 or the Baja LP9? I have four DD SS5 pods on the front end of my 4Runner for forward lighting - I mostly want some light up high for distance and peripheral at this point.

[@4WDisLife]

@@Telamonster2I actually would guess it’s about the same with RS6 in terms of peripheral lighting or width of the light pattern if you go for the combo pattern RS4. Combo RS4 has two wide pattern lens facing front just like the RS6 and probably similar in the side shooting. I think it’s a strong contender but I have not personally tested them.

[@FiveBoroNative]

This is plain incredible. Getting to see them in action helped a lot. The Baja Design lights are awesome, but to supplement a good set of stock headlights they may not be so necessary. Those Harbor Freight lamps seem like theybwould work excellently with a good set of stock headlights.

[@4WDisLife]

Right on! That is exactly my thought as well. Hack I can also supplement the HF with a pair of smaller Baja's squadron light pods on the side if I want more zone 3 performance.

[@fernandoharo1661]

Dude I loved your video! Thanks for this I bought the knock off's cause that's what I could afford but I'm happy with those, I accidentally dropped them on the floor from about 1.9mts and they're working 100%

[@gsx95r]

I think the side shot of the lights should be out in the field instead next to the garage door. I think you were getting some garage door light bounce off for the lux comparison. Other than that great video. The HF lights are impressive for the price. Better than I thought.

[@4WDisLife]

You have a point there. I will try measure the side shooter in the field next time. HF still provides a much wider low beam than anyone I have seen.

[@Btn_Path]

Excellent choice on the background music and not having something annoying! Great vid thank you! HF it is!

[@cdogg22]

A long term durability test would be good. I run Baja Designs lights (light bar, pillar lights, chase lights) on my Raptor and I’ve done thousands of miles of high speed off-roading. The lights have never failed once. I’m curious if Harbor Freight would hold up the same. If yes, then at that price they are a very good option.

[@4WDisLife]

It is great to know that Baja’s light been working well for you through out time. For the Harbor freight I have actually done a torture test to one of my lights (run over with my truck, water submerged for 4 days and froze it and hammered it out of block of ice), it held up great for what I tested, and it has been almost a year since I purchased them and they still work well. I will definitely throw a long term review when it hits a year mark and keep people posted. Cheers.

[@yugbe]

Thank you for this. I have a 2022 Tundra and want to get some of the HF lights, and this really really helps. But I do have a question. Do you think these could be mounted on hood mounts (Up by the windshield) and still function well? My concern is that the HF may illuminate the hood very brightly and be counterproductive to true vision. Thoughts? (Any response would be welcome and I would be thankful. )

[@4WDisLife]

Hi, thanks for the comment, I would not recommend using these HF lights on the ditch light location (a pillar above hood) because they are so wide they will definitely blind the drivers and passengers when turned on. On the ditch light location, I personally would either put a strong spot beam pattern (minimal glare/reflection back into the cab) or a good evenly distributed and wide enough patter and have them aimed at the ditch, that way they'd not shooting light back into the cab. Also one of the reason I don't recommend using HF lights on the hood is they are very very heavy. Cheers!

[@yugbe]

@@4WDisLife Thank you so much for the reply. Perhaps I will wait on the 6light until I get the hybrid bumper installed with the brush guard. (Perhaps these will be more suited at that location. I will look into the spots for ditch light location like you said. Are the ones from HF also a good choice, or do you have a different recommendation?

Loved the review, really impressed with HB and mostly with BD. 1k for a pair is still tough. Do you think the novsight halo 6 inches could compete in this segment?

[@4WDisLife]

Personally I don’t think a novsight or any light without side shooting function can compare. At least not wi the how wide the beam pattern will be.

[@cpftank09]

I think the HF is better as an offroad light compared to BD. The foreground on the BD is too intense and will impair your distance vision. Compared to the HF that’s dark in the middle of the foreground, but increases width. The less intense foreground is filled with the low beams, so there’s no need for the BD’s foreground.

[@davidle9752]

I bought the HF ones and honestly no complaints for the price.

[@4WDisLife]

They are very solid and worth the price.

[@StevenPenny]

I am not spending $300 on harbor freight lights. There might be a slim chance I would if they had like a 5-10 year warranty but I’d much rather pay for some other brand, not spending $300 for 90 days.

[@4WDisLife]

Someone else made a great point that you can purchase their protection warranty for $30ish for another two years I believe. Still not lifetime but better than 90 days.

[@GRAGGLE]

[@JonFox1945]

[@Yettee0201]

Honestly I think the HF is the way to go just from a price to performance stand point. But if you really do want the best of the best BD still has that position.

[@4WDisLife]

agreed. One thing that also maybe important is the warranty. HF offers 90 days warranty and BD offers life time. However, you can buy 2 year additional warranty for a reasonable price at HF.

[@Apcrawler]

Great comparison! Any chance you want to do the same comparison with the smaller set of new HF ones as well? 😄 I just picked up a set of the colight trailblazer lights otherwise I’d definitely pick up a set of these HF. Nice job 👍

[@4WDisLife]

thank you. I didn’t do the smaller Hf since it really only had one competitor being lp4, also it has two beam pattern options, I’d say if you have a row of four HF smaller pods, two spot in the middle and two combo on the side would be more than enough. I do like the backlight shape of the colight trailblazer but didn’t have a chance to test them out.

[@Apcrawler]

@@4WDisLife gotcha, the colight trailblazer for the cost I think are great. Very happy with them so far. I also have a set of their 3 inch dual color pods and they have been good too. But it’s always nice to have reasonably priced and good quality options. Thanks again 👍

[@CodyCrafted]

No denying the Roadshock is a good value. I would say that when installed, the side shooters will be prone to blockage by bumper shape and the other lights being alongside. What many enthusiasts don't always fully grasp is that @bajadesigns is really a RACE lighting company. When driving at speed, that additional "side shooter" is going to be a distraction to your peripherals. I will concede that this isn't as much of a concern for most consumers. However, this is why BD puts so much emphasis on their lighting Zones. Having installed, driven, and raced with a multitude of lights: they really are the top of the heap, but you gotta pay to play.

[@4WDisLife]

I am not 100% following on the side shooter part, lp6 also has side shooter and is one of the brightest in the test, so if side shooter is a distraction, why would they even have that being race oriented lighting?

[@CodyCrafted]

@4WDisLife in a race or higher speed effort, your focus more on the horizon and what's coming. Anything that's in your "side shooter" area should be for verification or already too close to worry about at this point. When ripping with the Onyx6 40, for example, I prefer the combo pattern white center and amber on the ends. It focuses your attention on the center and looking ahead. Meanwhile, allowing you to see the ditches, but your main focus is up and forward. The LP is a great light, and like you said, HF put more emphasis on their side lighting than BD. It can seem to the lay-person to be an advantage, but a racer knows it's pretty useless. With mid to long travel suspension the speeds are a lot higher, anybody that rode dirt bikes knows you should have planned ahead already

[@4WDisLife]

@@CodyCrafted good info. I believed the advantage in the wide pattern comes in the low beam lens and not the side shooter section, but maybe I am wrong.

[@bradbest14]

Good review. Would have been interesting to see the Roadshock Edge 4 LED light rolled into this comparison. Not so much as a comparison with the Roadshock 6 LED or BD, but I bet it would have fared nicely against the Auxbeam and Knockoff LP6 and at only $210 for a pair...

[@gregmacklem]

My conclusion: The HF lights are a little weak in the middle compared to the BD lights but the HF lights are clear winners in the side light area. The headlights fill in the middle where the HF are weak so I give the HF lights the win. Would like to know how the Auxbeam 20" lightbar compares to the HF lights. It is a combo of spot and flood and as impressive as the KC Hilite LED headlights are on my Wrangler, the $37 Auxbeam lightbar out shines them. For anyone who has had both, why use a pair of lights over a lightbar? The pair of lights has 12 total LEDs and my lightbar is 18" of double row LEDs with many flood lights and spot lights.

[@4WDisLife]

I think the choice between lightbar vs pods can also be personal since someone likes the look of pods or vise versa.

[@humzilla707]

I think the harbor freight lights will be a perfect replacement for my stock tj fog lights. 99% of the time I use fog lights on the dark desert back roads without high beams.

Tks,, very helpful info. HF going on my bronco!

Thank you for commenting and I agree. HF is the best bang for the bucks.

Great video. Thank you!!

Glad you liked it!

Hf looked wide but dark ... Aux was 2"s smaller which is not comparable

[@4WDisLife]

true, I am wrapping up on a HF4 led vs auxbeam 5 inch now, should be up soon.

[@kwelhand]

Superb!

Id prefer the unfinished Baja design plug. that way i don't have a break or large junction in the wiring harness. Better than having a massive tape joint 6" from my light. HF slay... They're going to reset all these overpriced companies redesign and evaluate their prices....

[@4WDisLife]

Good points.

[@danielschandl1105]

Your "Lp6" amazon is more like Baja Design LP9.

[@4WDisLife]

Yea the knock off "lp6" is more like a LP9 looking style however, the exterior dimension is surely a "LP6" size.

[@raframirez4948]

Video doesn't do these lights justice. Buy the harbor freight if on a budget they're stupid bright

[@rd4660]

Check your spelling on Baja DESIGNS, not Deisngs. And in your headline it's misspelled, too. Baja Designs (plural), not Design (singular).

oops I guess it is a typo on the text from 4:16-6:15 minute mark. Thanks for correcting.

@4WDisLife BTW great video. Gotta buy an LP6 for my Harley 👍

awesome

[@mrbryguy5831]

I wouldn’t buy lights that cost more than my car note lol unless I’m getting a tax write off there is absolutely no reason for your average person to own a $1000 off-road light.

[@4WDisLife]

That is probably very true for most folks.

lets revisit this video after 3 years and see how many HF fanboys are still on the bandwagon. You pay for what you get is what I have learned in 20+ years of modifying vehicles. Just the look of the harbor freight screams high school raceboy. Might as well go slap an autozone race team and nos stickers on your car. The fact that BD offers a LIFETIME warranty speaks thousands vs the 90 day HF warranty.

[@KirbyLouis]

harbor freight wins overall. simple math

[@4WDisLife]

Sure do. They currently have the most value.

Could i use this on my sequoia as a ditch light or is it too big for that purpose?
