White VS Amber High Performance Offroad Lighting

Offroad lighting... There are many different styles, colors, beam patterns, and brands. But what are the differences, and which one suits your offroading needs best?
In this video, we install a bunch of high performance lights from Baja Designs on my Jeep Gladiator, my JKU Wrangler, and the LJ.
Like i mentioned, this video is sponsored by Baja Designs and they are offering you guys a 10% off discount code (JKGAG)!
Here are the lights we are installing and taking a look at in this video.
LP6 Amber Driving Combo: www.bajadesign...
LP6 White Spot: www.bajadesign...
Squadron Pro Amber Driving Combo: www.bajadesign...
Squadron Pro White Wide Cornering: www.bajadesign...
S2 Pro: www.bajadesign...
S2 Sport: www.bajadesign...
Now, i understand these lights are expensive. I also understand that there are some people that are fine with cheaper LED pods and lightbars as they still do the trick. But there is no doubt that these lights are the best of the best, and i know that there are many people who want the best that you can get for your Jeep or Offroad Rig, and these are it.
The Amber driving combo lights are my personal favorite, as they mix great with LED headlights and fill in the surrounding spaces. They also offer better lighting in dust, rain, snow, and fog which is very common when offroading.
As for beam patterns, it depends on what you want. A driving combo is a great mix of a spot and flood light, giving you the best of both worlds. A spot beam will be better for high speed offroading, were a full flood (Wide cornering) will benefit slower offroad and trail riding.
Adding multiple lights to your Jeep with different beam patterns (like i did on the JK), is a great setup and provides a ton of light output while still looking good and not over done (Compared to multiple cheap pods and various lightbars).
I hope you found this video interesting, and i hope you were able to see the differences!!
Thank you for watching, and im looking forward to showing you guys the next thing we have planned for the Jeeps!!

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Sorry for any confusion, the discount code is now JKGAG10

[@SIKKMAD3]

JK Gear and Gadgets how much u want for the old rigids off the jk ?

[@darlowhernandez9689]

What brand is ur front bumper on the gladiator

[@kawlreaper]

Sorry for the repost but here's the question - DO you need the trail 6's anymore??

[@JKGearandGadgets]

kawlreaper these are a lot brighter than the trail 6 lights. A lot brighter. But that doesn’t mean my trail 6s are useless

[@kawlreaper]

@@JKGearandGadgetsI gotcha! I'm upgrading my headlights to the JW speakers and contemplating the Trail 6's. Also was thinking of the Baja Design OnX6 10" light bar. Then I saw your Naja Design video with the LP6's. Made me re evaluate again! Since the LP6's have a high and low setting...should i just put the money into them instead of the Trail6's?!?! Like you said...good lights arent cheap. Trying to spend wisely.. :-)

[@silvertip9358]

One thing that I noticed right away is that the amber light spectrum is much easier on your eyes for long distant driving at night. Also saves some of your night vision. Incredible lights.

[@drillbittreed10]

I myself like the amber light because of the fog.

[@codyh4406]

Glad you did this. I never would have considered an amber light before.

[@hughashley5886]

Great to see a new video, Those amber lights put out so much more light than I ever would have thought. Thanks for showing the side by side comparison!

[@Zraupp10]

Amber all the way for fog/snow

[@TriggerHapySheep]

Been running S2 Sport clear driving combos as reverse lights for probably a year now and absolutely love them! with a super scratched and faded rear window i can see soooo much better out the back with them and makes backing in places at night incredibly easy

[@christophernaper101]

You guys have definitely become one of my favorite KZbin channels. Keep them coming!

[@rosssyster]

'So I don't blind a Karen and have her start yelling at me in her minivan' I'm dead, had to smash the like button at that moment.

[@CodyMacRae1]

Ross Syster 🤣 don’t wanna disturb Karen’s kids listening to kids bop

[@daveevans7151]

Did the same thing

[@mikehoffman3690]

We run Rigid fogs on the front bumper, and set of dual Quadratec flood and spot cubes on the front window pillars and Quadatec cube floods on the rear bumper. We also have a set of generic rock lights, but we are planning to change them out soon. All auxiliary lights are run through a sPod. We do a lot of night wheeling in the desert, and this setup seems to work well for our purpose.

[@TsarTrail]

Great vid. The backup lights on the Gladiator are slick!

[@ducks12345678901]

I've been seeing those driving amber lights on the gladiator glad you made a video

[@GSTroop348]

Those are some great lights. I love how you build them into the bumper on the gladiator. I’m a big fan of the amber ones.

[@joshcooper4405]

I love your videos. Including your wife and daughter is so awesome. The fact that you're a family oriented guy makes you that much more likable to me. I'm very new to the jeep community and I'm learning a great deal from your videos. Thank you.

[@truckerrickakamanowar]

I use KC 3" cubes with LaminX amber films on my a pillar alligned to follow my headlights in rainy/foggy weather, they work excellent. I use 7" round auxbeam driving and spot combo on my mopar light bar very powerful light great for offroad. Thr auxbeams are heavy with a combined weight of 14 lbs lol had to get a friend to weld reinforcements where the bar connects to my frame 😁 in order to stop the light bar from shaking when hitting bumps. Both sets of lights are holding up well considering all the salt sand and whatever else they mix in during winter months. I am also running highbeam offroad headlights. I installed them in September and so far they have been excellent. Went with the drifter series saw those on your channel. Love that they are lifetime replacement and sae dot approved. Great light output pattern and cutoff when alligned properly also when the highbeams are used they work great sending straight spot beams straight down the road just like anyone would want love them.

[@vinuezaer]

OMG ! Just went to the website and saw the prices ! They are 3 x more expensive than what I thought expensive was. I guess I learned something. WOW.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Yeah.. 😬. These are the TOP of the line lights

[@kshepthedrummer]

Holy hell. There's like 4 grand in lights in this video lol

[@alphamike2839]

Nice comparison of white and amber. I have 2015 JKU. I put KC 6" gravity pro's on the A pillar, KC Gravity pro headlights. And I just got a Baja Designs S8 10" amber bar for my front bumper. That light is freaking bright! I like the light spectrum and the fact you can change to clear lens if you want to. Amber is the go to out west in the dust.

[@zackragan7129]

Welcome back Ben, was getting ready to send out a search party for you. It has been a while since you dropped a video.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I have quite a few coming soon! Been busy doing house projects.

[@scottboyd8892]

The lights looked a great. I have to say, you never can have too many lights.

[@shooterg2071]

I went old school with kc highlites apollo pros on top LCD a frame hood 4 inch led... and I really like those amber lights you've got...up front...👍

[@williamlee7782]

Mounting the S2 low like you did on your truck bed is the way I go. I had them on my JKU's rhino rack roof rack and holy smokes.....way too bright on the eyes when you look at your jeep. I use a pair of squadrons made with a wiring loom for the JK which also fits into the fog light position on the AEV bumper. My favorite lights. Lights up the sides and slightly forward enough for safely driving at night with wildlife.

[@Frimsure]

those light look awesome. I agree the amber look best much easier on the eyes at night.

[@johnbergy5342]

Those Amber Lp6 were the best out of them all

[@bennelson9826]

The lights look incredible ben! Not only in the lighting aspect, but how they look good on your jeeps!

[@titaniummaster1532]

Great video, great lights….. Your video was very good, good attitude, good pace, good camera stability, overall an A++ ! I like there cable end connection’s

[@joeunderwood7940]

Not running any yet. I have been waiting to get a set. Just wasn’t sure what I wanted. Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful.

[@Av8rThor]

I would recommend a driving combo low (amber) and spot high (white), less hood glare and imho best of all worlds.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

i put baja designs squadron sports in my JL rear bumper... holy crap talk about BRIGHT!

[@HazardSports]

THANK YOU for the discount code! JKGAG10 still works! Big fan of you two and I appreciate your content!

[@ScoobyCarolan]

Thanks so much!! This solved weeks of going back and forth for me. I’m getting some amber squadron pros right now!!

[@VetJeeper]

Amber would do great in the snow out here in the PNW!

[@leandroramirez865]

Baja designs are amazing light but I really like rigid and that's what I'm running 🤙🏽

[@krasnaludek298]

I have my Amber Baja Designs 45w mounted on the cowl - near A pillar. They help in cutting through snow/fog particulates before hitting vertical field of view. That’s why the Ambers go at or near eye level IMO. Next, the flood beam (Clear) driving lights (got my 75w lights from Quadratec) go at bumper height, because the purpose is to sweep wider and longer than running just headlights alone. That is to say that I’m basically running the same setup as your Red JK. 👍🏻

[@rangethetrail]

i'm a fan of rigid lights. i'm also a fan of 'buy once, cry once." just got amber lenses for my DOT fogs for driving in the dust... IMHO it's easier to see amber lights through dust than white.

[@michaelmurray2592]

Awesome video Ben as usual!! I'm definitely going with Baja Designs lights when I'm ready for lighting. Thank you for the video!

[@EricTheOld]

I like the LP 6 and my regards to your girls. I'm currently running diod dynamics and oracle taillights and tailgate lights on a 4.5" lift on 37s

[@RidgeRunner304]

Not to discredit your old videos at all, but I hope you know that it's not going unnoticed when you are sprinkling in some of the new editing and style. Enjoying it Ben!

[@poopooplatta9575]

Jordan Goddard his old videos sucked, he knows it. I think he has said it before. They always had good knowledge and good installs but Ben is not a videographer or youtuber

[@NHseacoast]

Just discovered your channel. I'd say Amber! The nice thing about Amber is you can use them in the warmer months when your camping etc and they act like a bug light the don't attract bugs as much as white do.

[@banditt419]

I've heard good things about Baja Designs. It's nice to see some in action. Thanks Ben!

[@duneattack]

Great video, and very good timing. I have a bud I wheeled with last weekend who was running the amber LP6's and they are absolutely wicked!

[@tbornman89]

I’m really digging the amber light set up. Right now I’m running KC Apollo on the pillar and KC Fogs on the pumper; along a 4inch light bar under the rear bumper.

[@SpookyMontero]

Thanks I’m going bought the pros with the wide lens in white can’t wait to put them on my tj

[@TheMexican7896]

Those amber lights look awesome on the gladiator better alternative to big noisy light bars

[@desireeyoung8778]

The code doesn't work- do you have an updated code? Will you be doing a comp of the lp6 vs lp9 or squadron pro ambers?

[@JonnyBgooD007]

Perfect timing, I was just thinking of purchasing this month!

[@ericmaxwell424]

I ordered up some Squadron pros ambers to replace my JK fog lights last week. Just waiting for them to arrive.

[@Bennett-xo6iu]

The lights your running amber or white are awsome... I know i can't decide on either one cuz they both are awsome and they both have there purpose so if anything i would have to have both lol... Keep the videos comin...

[@PaulKaiser42]

Not a huge fan of light bars but the Baja designs lights all look incredible....going to put those on a list for a future purchase....lol!!!

[@jackleboeuf5978]

I installed black oak 2 inch amber pods in my bumper. With JW Speaker headlights it is like 4k high definition while driving.

[@YAABUGGN]

Finally ordered my JTR in a manual gearbox! Super excited. I believe Baja Designs also has a LP9 I heard it’s insane in the driving combo!however the LP6s look way more proportional on the Gladiator, probably would go with those. Haha all the Jeeps look great man! Keep the content up!

[@JKGearandGadgets]

The LP9s are sick!!!! Do them on the JT!

[@Rockyjeeper]

I have cheap blaze lights around 30 bucks a pair up by their windshield. Just purchased cube lights from Harbor freight they were not expensive either and both are extremely bright. So far the only ones fogging up are the blaze. I’ve been running them on my jeep for a few years “blaze“, and so far they have not failed me except for the fog up. Those are awesome but extremely expensive, Too much for my wallet. I do like the amber for fog and snow.

[@PghMtbRides]

I see best with Amber/Yellow lights than any hue white light. Green works really well too(best for snow covered)

[@jonathansmith2549]

I've decided to go Amber lights and I have a cheap set of harbor freight halogens on the Jeep now. Going to upgrade later to a more permanent setup with better wiring. But even the 55w halogen ambers make a big difference over just the headlights and fog lights.

[@beefiestacorn88]

Was starting to worry you may have caught the Corona. Great video though! You might not say it but I will. I’ve wasted too much money on cheap lights and got what I paid for. Not enough light output and go bad or get moisture inside too easily. Save money in the long run and just buy quality the first time

[@vinuezaer]

You guys are so cute......and the most informative Jeep channel .

[@brandonsmith853]

Great video, I've been running rigid for a few years but have been slowly switching to Baja designs.

[@leavesthe9984]

Another awesome video! Actually answered some of my questions on amber vs white! Thanks bro

[@MrDjrecon]

Good vid I’m debating on just the amber lens cover or switching out the lens for a full amber so, glad I got to see it upfront because I would like to change back and forth without taking out the lens and putting the clear back on and vice versa.

[@josephknudsen3804]

I really like the back up lights. I think that's what I will do next. But going to wire to one of the 4 switches in dash. And go with the amber a pillar lights.

[@RyanN9419]

Might have to get the amber lights for heavy rain/snow/fog, love my LED light but they aren't great in those conditions.

[@jeepguy2254]

Those amber LP6's are nice. I have some KC amber lights up front and combo rigid spreader series amber halos with reverse lights in the bumper.

[@vincentcarriere183]

Great vid, so much to say about this subject seems like one video is not enough, great job explaining tho

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Exactly! We will be doing a night offroad video soon once I get some rock lights on the Jt

[@TrillNGR]

If you can’t light the whole neighborhood 😤 those lights are fire 🔥

[@chrissinni8049]

I got two Lp9s going on front bumper of my Polaris ranger can't wait until I get it back.

[@sonnicman]

Ben, the Gladi is currently VERY good hands. 😉

[@pedrowatkins6167]

I've a 90 YJ and trying to get all my lights square or rectangular as possible.so....theyre harder to find than you think.i found all of my square lights on amazon.your video was aswome by the way

[@SierraRR1]

Great video as always. When I bought my JK 8 months ago it had some cheaper led pods and light bars on it. Still does but have been looking for upgrades. After seeing this video I know what brand I want to go with now. Just have to figure out which ones I want.

[@yukkon1375]

they might put out more light but nothing can beat how cool light bars make you lol

[@BallsBearing2Score]

Great overview of the amber vs. white and of the types of beam. Thanks for the video. I'm buying a Gladiator today and all of your videos have been insightful!

[@cole33333333]

I have found that a combo of amber and white works well in the dust. Just white reflects to much dust and light reflecting on the windshield. Shows dust to the point it is hard to see . Though being from Arizona I'm a KC fan.

[@evianrd]

I’ve *Ben* watching for months and love the channel! I’m wiring my LP6’s in now and was wondering what you chose to do for a switch in the Gladiator being that you likely wanted to have a 3-way and the aux buttons only do 2. If you mounted their switch, did you place it next to the 115v ac cargo switch? Thanks, and keep the good content rolling!

[@evianrd]

Hey @JK Gear and Gadgets, or anyone else with Baja Designs, I am still interested in hearing where y'all mount switches if you didn't use the aux buttons!

[@CtPirate]

TWO Sets of the P6 Amber Driving Combo SOLD!!!! Both our Jeeps will love them. This way no 50" light bars ever, they just are too much on a Jeep

[@fullmetaljkjigs9207]

I like the amber.

[@Rubicon14]

Where can I get those led turn signals you have and what are they called?

[@jacobroloff8930]

Have fun on your trip to Michigan and I can’t wait for more videos it seems like it’s been forever since your last video came out

[@mattlewandowski73]

I was always a bit of a fan of KCs what can I say... I have been a fan since a "roll bar" filled with day lighters was THE WAY to go. RIGID was a serious innovator in LED lighting, but they have changed the light patterns on some of their bars, so I can not get the combination I wanted any more AND they are SO expensive, especially if you like a LOT of light like I do. I started looking at Baja Besigns they are looking promising. Now I find myself torn between the Baja Designs and the new generations of KCs.

[@zumezoom9593]

amber works best through fog and snow and heavy rain. BD lp6 looks sick AF

[@sinjin667]

RIGID "All The Way" Ben !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@multidimensionaltraveler806]

They look so clean i like your install

[@adamaldinger6960]

Not running anything yet, but thanks for insight need to add some soon. Although won’t need them much for summer in Alaska.

[@leandroramirez865]

Hoping to get some of those sweet jwspeaker lights trail 6 I think they were.

[@jeepzentoks542]

Thanks for the video, I really want to get the Amber light

[@dhgdarkness3744]

It wouldn't be a bad idea for you to do a matblack wrap on your hood to cut out some of the glare from the lights

[@timothykirkland6920]

Should have tapped the hole for the big bumper lights on the JK

[@hectorserrano7703]

Those amber lights are incredible. Great review

[@davidturley5213]

These lights are pretty sick. Might have to invest in a set.

[@c.n.h4841]

You can pack your long sockets with cotton it may help next time

[@aaron_yote9752]

If y’all don’t care like me and I’m a true believer that your standard run of the mill KC lights work just fine, plus you don’t need to spend more than 300-500 in lights

[@XCountryAdventures]

Thanks JK Gear and Gadgets

[@pnwjeepcouple27]

Running the rigid lights, they’re alright.. thinking of upgrading big time now

[@joshmorton8697]

Love those Baja lights! They are definitely on my wish list. I need more armor first though...

[@derekgarcia2413]

What brand of bumper is on the jk

[@shawnvergilia1609]

Maxima led headlights on the xj. Lockers before lightbars, so I'm investing in other priorities first.

[@mercurials54]

Love the amber lights, would be perfect if they were street legal.

[@danielramirez-xi2vt]

Love that your videos have such great information

[@brandonman2020]

These look like awesome lights! It'll be nice once they start offering street legal driving lights (I noticed they do have fog lights) Because those look more badass than a 20" bar!

[@rickmarquart3277]

Thanks guys! Keep'm coming. 👍🏻🍻

[@georgewashington938]

might be a good idea to swap the mounting fasteners over to stainless tamper/theft resented. those expensive lights are too tempting for the mid-night auto parts crowd.

[@RichardSmith-ic1zw]

Amber is my favorite it blinds the haters

[@GSTroop348]

Hey Ben, you never did said what happened to LJ? Is it toning to be a new video?? You’re very lucky to get all this great stuff.
