Ledson Auxiliary Lights - for your Safety and Comfort

Why you should install auxiliary lights on your car

Do you ever feel you lack good lighting while on the road? You are not alone. Many people experience the feeling of not having enough light with the car's original lighting, and that it is difficult to drive in the dark. A proper high beam on the car is important, partly to make driving more pleasent but mainly for your and others safety.

Every year, over 60.000 wildlife accidents occur (more than seven accidents per hour) in which approximately 800 people are injured in varying degrees and severity. By giving your car proper lighting, you give yourself the chance to see potential hazards in time. This can give you precious time to react. For example, if you drive at 90 km per hour, you travel approximately 25m in one second (!). This is why it is so important to be able to detect potential hazards as early as possible.

By mounting auxiliary lights on your car, you get the light you've been missing in the dark.

What to think about when choosing auxiliary lights

When choosing auxiliary lights you have a few different choices. The most imortant aspect to consider is what type of light you need - Driving, Combo or Spot. Which beam pattern you should choose is based on the types of roads you mostly drive on. 

Driving and Combo are similar in their beam pattern as both give you a wide and long light, which allows you to see far ahead and out to the side of the road. This suits if you mostly drive on forest roads, smaller roads or winding country roads where it is important to have light on the sides as well. 

Spot is optimal for you if you're driving mostly on highways or other roads with longer straight stretches. With a Spot, compared to Drive or Combo, you get a slightly narrower and longer beam, which allows you to see what is happening far ahead on the road.

In addition to choosing a beam pattern, you can also choose between whether the auxiliary lights should be round or oval, smaller or larger and with or without orange position lights. These options largely depends on what you think looks better, and what you think fits your car best. For example, 7" auxiliary lights generally fit better on smaller cars, while 9" often look better if you have a slightly larger car.

The most important aspect is, to first of all, think about what kind of roads you drive on and choose the lighting that benefits your driving the most. After choosing that, you can look at the other options, such as size and design, of your auxiliary lights.

How many auxiliary lights you need for your car

When thinking about how many auxiliary lights you need, you need to take budget into account and what you are looking for more specifically. Two smaller auxiliary lights of 7" give you significantly more light compared to the car's standard lights, and if you are looking for dramatically better high beams you should consider three or four 9" auxiliary lights.

An advantage of mounting auxiliary lights in front of a LED-bar is that, in addition to being able to choose as many auxiliary lights you want, is that you can combine your auxiliary light with different beam patterns to get the complete beam pattern that suits you the best. To make it easy for you, we created packages containing everything you need in several different varieties, numbers and beam patterns.

Unity package
The auxiliary light-package Unity consists of two auxiliary lights, with either a Drive- or Combo beam pattern. These are available in different sizes and designs so you can choose the package that suits you and your needs.

Trinity package
If you want more light, the Trinity package is for you. It consists of three auxiliary lights, and you can choose if you want the same beam pattern as in the Unity package or if you want it to reach a bit further. You get this by combining two Drive, with an auxiliary light in the middle with the more narrow and longer beam pattern Spot. These packages are called D&S.

In general, if you have three or more auxiliary lights, the Spot-pattern is placed in the middle and the wider beam pattern on the edges. This setup mimic the car's original beam pattern.

Quadrinity package
If you are in need of even more light, we created our Quadrinity package. Here, too, you can choose whether you want four auxiliary lights with the same beam pattern, or if you want to combine Spot with wider patterns for more length of light. 

Reflect on what amount of light you need, based on the roads you usually drive. Then select the Ledson auxiliary light that suits you and your needs best. 

What comes with the packages?
Our complete Auxiliary Light kits come with the fittings needed to carry out a complete installation.

• Holder in powder-coated steel + the wiring needed and locking strip for the license plate. Your new Auxiliary Lights are mounted on this holder.

• One or more DT relays, these are used so that your Auxiliary Light "know" when to light up, i.e usually at the same time as you light up the car's high beams. It is also possible to use the DT relay to make your Auxiliary Light turn on and off by pressing the button on the relay, if you do not wish to control the Auxiliary Lighting with the car's high beams.

• Locking strip for the licence plate, if the old one breaks when you dismantle it.

(If your car has originally fitted LED or Xenon on the high beam, an additional light relay is also required, e.g. XBB Dongle OBD II wireless extra light relay)
