Apollo Pro vs Slimlite LED vs Pro6 LED | KC 6" Round Light Comparison

[@triot2127]

Those Slimlight LEDs seem to be the best all around bumper lights out of the three. They look to throw light more like a combo pattern than a strictly spot beam light.

[@andycoutts517]

Those Slimlights seem like the best choice to be honest.

[@Darkwingcuck]

I mounted some on my A pillars. They are crazy bright. 10 outta 10 for me.

[@Jeep.Generation]

Great comparison. I love my Pro6 lights, but I am really impressed with those SlimLite LEDs.

[@danarklie5858]

same i think a combo of the 2 types would work well together!

[@ryze6726]

Yeah I like how much they fill the area with light

[@ryanbrown8757]

Yea the slimlites really impressed me too

[@br00klyngreek13]

Have 4 slimlites on a roll bar on my tacoma (Marty mcfly style)....and o.m.g.....the throw those baby's put out is phenomenal

[@tjtom5220]

I love my set of Pro 6 lights with the driving beam. They are awesome on the dark winding roads while heading to the mountains in N Arizona. Thanks KC for the quality!

[@The_JEB]

The thing that I like about halogen lights is that they get hot enough to melt snow and ice, I've not had any luck with LED pods or lightbars being able to do that.

[@redneckwithajeep5001]

Just installed a set of the halogen ones on my jeep the other day. Got into some rain where my headlights wouldn't cut it this morning and I was impressed with how well they actually cut through the rain

[@CMP_Offroad]

I’m running 4 of the Apollo Pros but after watching this I’m definitely gonna upgrade to the slim lights !!

[@lowlight8466]

Ordered the slimlite for my 2022 bronco. Can't wait to get them.

[@brian6268]

Excellent comparison. Just ordered SlimLites spots and pillar mounts for my JK. Can’t wait!

[@EIChupalibre]

Very honest comparison. Huge thanks for the consideration you have for your customers. I'm planning to buy an overlander and I already know wich brand the offroad lights will be...

[@JustinCaseWages]

Well done! I was just looking for videos showing the output of the Apollos last week and didn't find much that was useful. Thanks!

[@kayschwartz4410]

Thank you for your time to do this video. It has really helped me make the right choice for me.

[@milanmitrovic9560]

This is a great comparison video. I currently have ProSport 6" LED driving lights but I really enjoy the warmer look, easier on the eyes nature of halogen, as well as the immense heat the produce for melting snow and ice, unlike most LEDs. I am thinking of picking up a set of the Appollo Pro Spread Beams to try them out. Thanks guys.

[@luisugueto5025]

Awesome! Please do a similar comparison of the 8 inch lights!!

[@crazycanuck4927]

Great video, I just grabbed 2 spot and 2 spread halogen beams for my F350… the fall and winter weather is coming and my eyes aren’t getting any better….

[@rcsskier]

This was very helpful! I ended up getting the Slimline LEDs for a pillar mounting and I like the slightly less concentrated center beam for my purpose. That being said, I’m blown away by the Pro 6 LED and it’s performance from such a low power draw. It’s not quite what I was looking for, but still very impressive.

[@RCRitterFPV]

Great video. really helps the decision making process.. all three have their pros and cons.

[@triblemusic]

Awesome 👌 I have a M- rack style just no lights. I love the pro6 with the side lights. Can't wait........

[@tomhoobler6627]

Love my Apollo Pros. I have them up by the windshield and pointed slightly outward and it’s a great full beam that shoots far down the path.

[@jeepjab1817]

Great video! It was actually very helpful. I will be adding the slim lite leds to my Wrangler!

[@klumsytone]

Is it possible to replace the halogen bulb with an LED in the Apollo Pro?

[@kingdomoverlanding]

Thank you for the video! Looking for the best style of KCs

[@danarklie5858]

i like how that was done gives a better idea of what does what,its a good idea of what your buying thank you!

[@jamessamudio9913]

Great video!! I'm looking to purchase and now I have your expertise to make my decision. Thank you!!

[@Dr_Xyzt]

How do the Apollo's perform with an aftermarket GTR LED bulb insert? I like the beam pattern. It's a good cost effective housing. The pro-6 is really awesome if you're gonna get a brand new set of lights. That beam is awesome.

[@sirhandxb7331]

Thanks for the video. Does the cover with KC logo fits for all 6” lights?

[@davidharden8469]

Great video. But why no mention of the Daylighter?

[@larryparker1678]

this was very intresting, third time i watched it. I have the Slimllits on the front bumper of a 4runner, the replace a pair of PIAAs.There is a huge diffrence between the two. Now I am thinking of adding another pair. I really enjoy the production quality of your videos, they are very professional, and very helpful. Please keep up the great work. Thank you

[@michaelpuruleski9192]

great video, solid information to help pick some new lights....thank you

[@dalestephan6777]

250w aircraft landing lites 6" and tractor lite housing from tractor supply. Btw 2 of em need a 40a circuit breaker.. and a relay is highly recommended. You can get spot or beam. 😁

[@jamessinclair7633]

This video is exactly what I needed! I'm running stock halogen headlights on my JKU. I'll upgrade to LEDs once one of them goes. In the meantime, I'll get my LED fix via these Slimites. Haven't decided whether I'll mount them near the cowls or on the bumper/bull bar. Can you tell me what mounting hardware I'll need? As I may eventually go from 2 to 4 lights, what do you recommend for switches? Much appreciated. Thank you!

[@ldygzlle1291]

Thanks for making this video.

[@Steagles77]

I like Apollo pros I have three pairs on my 01Durango and 1 pair on my YJ

[@seanware719]

I want them!!! All!! Bad ass lights

[@michaelanthony4270]

Awesome..... great job.... I now know what I want and where I want them.....

[@dankomartek2145]

I'd love to see a comparison between Halogen LED and HID 6 INCH round lights. If possible?

[@cristian333GTX]

I love the t-shirt 😍 KC logo, where I can buy this?

[@br00klyngreek13]

Do the stone guards take a lot of light away from the throw of the light seeing there's obstructions infront of the bulbs?

[@justinshanley1847]

Love the slimlite LEDs on my Wrangler

[@Subawu_jku]

Great video guys !!! 👍👍

[@LKN4WAR]

Do you know anybody who makes an A pillar mount that is universal? I need lights on a Chevy truck 06 and can’t find any mounting options on various light companies.

[@ryanpandolfi4551]

By chance will the middle set of lights plug into the same harness as the left set of lights? I have them installed and after replacing my head lights with HID’s the left set are just too dim to light trails like I want

[@chrisguapo69]

Would have been nice if you lit up your Pro6 on your roof top just as a bonus video.

[@bjm275]

I had 4 6in dayliters on my Jeep Cherokee they were great

[@trevorruffcorn4424]

Are any of them USA made or USA assembled at least?

[@joshbray5420]

Do the yellow KC smiley face covers fit onto the Pro6?

[@n40798]

What's the point of the opaque cover?

[@danmcdonald726]

What type of paint do you use for the housings?

[@RVingTheCountry]

Awesome vid. I just bought my first KC lights for my Jeep. I got the Apollo pro from auto zone.. but will continue searching for led. Question... can I change the halogen bulb for an led one? Is it just an H3 bulb that I can swap out or nope?

[@dennismontes4769]

Did you ever figure this out? I have the Apollo’s and wondered the same thing

[@hungryhungryhummer]

@@dennismontes4769 I also want to know this

[@RVingTheCountry]

@@dennismontes4769 hi. No I haven’t figure it out yet. One of the bulbs burnt out but it was super easy to change. I haven’t looked to much into it cause I kinda liked the yellow light with all the white lights I have on my Jeep. Cool contrast but I would love to put some cool blue lights instead of the yellow. If you figure this out let me know to please.

[@RVingTheCountry]

@@dennismontes4769 but it was just the bulb I swapped out. Untwist the outer case and it’s so easy to change the bulb so now I’m thinking as long as the bulb is H3 size also you could use any bulb I would imagine. The bulb that’s factory in Hallogen but I don’t think a replacement would have to be. Do let me know if you look into this. Thanks.

[@RVingTheCountry]

@@hungryhungryhummer I replied to Dennis so take a look at my response.

[@TerraFirmaX]

Slimlites for the win

[@ryanfischer2889]

Can anyone tell me how to remove the rock guards on the highlights. Id like to clean and wax the lenses before winter hits

[@SmokeytheJeep]

Any plans to offer a driving pattern in the LED Slimlites?

[@SmokeytheJeep]

KC HiLiTES Thanks for the response. I don’t mean an SAE version, I’m looking for a wide beam analogous to the driving beam offered in your other 6” LED lights. Sounds from your response like that may be in the works one day; I truly hope you pursue it!

[@davide3129]

Can you tell me which light would be most capable of illuminating a person standing 300 yards away? I don’t mean lite up but can any of these cast enough light at that distance to see a person?

[@davide3129]

@@kchilites ok. That’s what I was thinking, but the pro 6 is only 20 watts and the slimline is 50 so I wasn’t sure. I called your tech support snd they told me to buy the slim light but the beam on the pro seems much tighter, plus, I can buy the insert and install in my day lighter. I will buy the pro6 insert for the day lighter, that will do it right? The hid is too expensive but I realize it is long range

[@br00klyngreek13]

@@kchilites your slimlites have a better spot beam bud, I know from buying 4 of each to try on my roll bar on my tacoma....slimlite spot beam gave an extra 50 to 75 yards of sight on pitch black open roads

[@Vysnia4]

What beam pattern would you recommend for the Pr6, if I plan to run it on my bumper with an amber cover and essentially run them while offroading in the daytime too. I don't want it to be annoying to anyone in a caravan in front, but I would still like for it to be effective if it gets darker and I take the covers off. Thanks!

[@Vysnia4]

@@kchilites No I definitely don't see a need to run them when I'm not off-roading, so sounds like that one would work. I don't have any other lighting besides the stock headlights and fogs. The wide-40s were what I was leaning towards and I appreciate you helping out! Thanks!

[@littlegoobie]

that's good advice. what i've found is that descriptions or beam type names from manuf aren't enough info to go on. You just need to do some research, commit and buy something you think might work, and go from there. In most cases, unless you only need lighting in 1 particular situation, you will most likely do better with more than one lens type. Spots are generally so narrow that you get a hot spot and nothing else...but downrange on a long dark road, nothing beats them. Floods have so little distance they do nearly nothing on an open road and are useless at higher speeds, but they're the best if going through a narrow treed dirt road.. driving beams are somewhere in between..at about 60 feet, they create a box of light around 15' wide. Having 1 driving and 1 spot is an amazing combination, your low beams fill in the close range. How you aim lighting has a huge impact on how effective your lights are for how you use them.

[@peacockpanther]

Awesome video

[@wreckdiver61]

so basically they are all the same in real world use you just have to figure out how much you want to spend and how many amps you are willing to use safely.

[@Shoorit]

Will you need me in the cold light.. Not the KC lights I was searching for.

[@Ryanmmartin9]

I wish I had the money for a jeep xj and lights for it

[@carlossalazar2164]

Hallogens if theres alot of snow. Halogen bulb burns hot and keeps keeps snow from building up

[@kchilites]

Great point! Our FLEX ERA 4 burns pretty warm though too!

[@ricksmith7659]

Fyi...Polycarbonate is very tough but very easy to scratch

[@oregonsignalfan]

@kchilites PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make these leds in 3500k MAX!!! (NOT fog yellow)

[@l.a.m7645]

Slimlites for me thanks

[@DynoDieselWagon]

Slimlite!

[@markthefishguy]

Turn them on.

[@Dr_Xyzt]

'Orale', you look like Cheech, 'Vato!

[@taraaaron1242]

Well that's disappointing 😞. It seems Baja design does a better job. I do have kc for my fog lights and they suck. 300 bucks down the drain.

[@br00klyngreek13]

Get diode dynamics for fogs, best out there.....I have DD sport fogs and run DD pros for my pillar lights....then i have 4 KC slimlites on a roll bar on my tacoma....Baja SAE fogs are horrendous!...they would throw light all over, I'm talking inwas hitting the top of tree lines 50ft away, and inwas constantly getting flashed by people because i was blinding them....Diode Dynamics SAEs have a nice clean cut off line

[@1991tommygun]

Kc warranty has gone to crap. 23 down to 5 years. Thats sad
