Auxbeam 4 Inch LED Square Pod Light, 60W White Spot Beam Driving Fog Light with DT Wiring Harness for Jeep Wrangler Truck Pickup SUV ATV UTV

I am going to try and be brief, but I have included my setup and story behind it.Originally, I purchased these lights with a "grain of salt" (for around $82-$92) despite the amazing reviews everyone was sharing.Reason being, is that I have already gone through 2 sets of LED Bar's. Both of which Amazon said would fit my car, and both of which did not end up being compatible. There were also no reviews for any lights with overwhelming reviews that fit my car. So when I came across these pod lights, I really did not expect much and I purchased the warranty just in case.However, I had no idea that I was about to purchase and setup my favorite purchase on Amazon to date. I did have some problems along the way that I think will be helpful to mention to those who are still contemplating on whether or not to buy them.Setup:Car: Subaru Outback 2018LED’s: Auxbeam FloodlightsWiring Harness: Auxbeam Included With FloodlightsMounting: Nilight 90025B LED Light Bar Mounting BracketsHere are the steps I took to get where I am now.1. The Search For Correct MountingOne of the larger issues was finding the correct mounting harness. I looked on the Auxbeam website and the Auxbeam seller on Amazon and I could not find anything that Amazon said would "fit my car". I already had a tough time finding anything that said would fit my Subaru, so I was not going to take the chance. All the YouTube videos had reviews about the Nilight pod lights (significantly cheaper) but I had tried their LED Bars and I was about done with that company. Nothing wrong with the brand! I just needed something that would "work with my car" - Amazon.However, two of the Harnesses in stock at the time were both Nilight so I rolled the dice and clicked buy now. One of which was the magnetic mounting harness, and the other was a brace harness.I wanted to install them on the hood of my Subaru Outback, and hoped at least one of them worked. The first one did not end up working because the hood on my Subaru is NOT MAGNETIC. I repeat, it is NOT MAGNETIC so it will not work.The other one did end up working really well!Its called: Niglight 90025B Led Light Bar Mounting Brackets 2pcs Universal Hood Led Work Light led Pods Mount Bracket Clamp Holder for SUV Truck Off Road Installed No Need Drilling, 2 Years Warranty, Black.Sold on Amazon right now for $14.99 but I got mine for the normal price of $16.99. Now I have to make sure it works with the Auxbeam Pods.2: Auxbeam Pods and Nilight Mounting Bracket SetupAs you can imagine, I was nervous about using a different brand made for a different product. But it ended up working really well again! I changed the middle screw with Nilights and the washers too. Both of which tightly secured the Auxbeam pod light. Everything else I left with what came from Auxbeam. Now its time to wire it up.3: Wiring SetupThe Subaru 2018 Outback is really not amazing when it comes to free space or design. I know it’s not made with the idea of someone adding LED lights to it, but I gave it a go.I first mounted the pod lights to the harness and clamped them around 5 inches apart from the separation of the hood to the body on each side. Then I routed the cables. Black to -, and red to +. There was one nut under some rubber that makes minimal, but some contact with the car for grounding. I then routed the wire up the side of the engine and up the side of the windshield. The A pillar gave me trouble because there was no space to fit the chunky off and on switch, so I just put it outside the car about an inch – 2 inches and routed it tightly along the inside of the car where the fuse box is. I then directed it behind the fuse box and then under the steering wheel. There is enough wire to go all the way from the battery to the drivers seat and although it dangles a bit (probably 5-9 inches extra), it is easily manageable and I actually prefer it like this so I can hold it and use it when needed.4: How They PerformThey work AMAZING. If the reviews don’t already explain it, allow me. They are much brighter than my high beams. Much much brighter. They can light up a huge section of a forest, road, and even show into bodies of water. They also are incredibly resilient to the climate. We have a lot of freezing rain and salt and terrible conditions around where I am. They tackle everything with ease. Overnight I put a protective covering on them because I don’t want the snow or cold rain water to bombard them all night, but I only came up with that protective measure recently. So far they have no fogging in the glass and when I travel at high speeds they don’t rotate in any direction, no matter how much wind there is. The mounting bracket and the pod lights stay right in place. I fastened them pretty tight, but left enough room if I wanted to orient them in a different direction. This may eventually loosen them up, but I have had no problem while driving so far. They also look really cool from the outside when on or off and provide a robust yet safe driving experience when looking at them from behind the wheel driving, parked, or really in any other condition. I also have had no problem with them vibrating or moving when I hit a pothole or driving on any road, including highways. I don’t use them on public roads or if there is any on-coming traffic of any kind (even in unlit backroads) because they are just way too bright.ConclusionIf you are thinking about buying them for your car, truck, or Subaru, I highly recommend them. The installation process can be difficult, but they are well worth it. The safety they provide on dimly lit roads, or completely unlit roads for that matter, is well worth the $70-$90 you may purchase them for. They are bright, study and incredibly strong against the weather. Honestly, one of my favorite purchases I have made on Amazon, if not high up on the list. They also don’t impede my visibility of the road during the day. They work great and if I come across any problem with them I will leave an update.TLDR:Incredibly bright, safe, and weather resistant. I use a Nilight mounting harness with them and it fits. I wired it from the battery, and grounded it to the side the car while directing the wire up the side as far as possible, then outside an inch, and finally behind the steering wheel / fuse box. It’s a great length for a Subaru outback and improves the driving experience. Don’t use them on public roads or if there is traffic of any kind. You also don’t want to use them if you are behind anyone or look directly into the lights.Thank you to Auxbeam for making an incredible product, 100% worth the cost. I'll also be buying the pod covers because they should be covered it not being used or sitting overnight. A great buy

Once again AuxBeam surprised me. I have had very good luck throughout the last 10 years with AuxBeam lights and their wiring harnesses as well. I bought these to put them on my snowmachine but never got around to it, instead I put them on my Tacoma as pillar lights to light up ditches behind the gaurdrail here in Alaska. They do have a nice finish and very durable. I don’t go easy on my lights as there’s rocks in the road from sanders, ice and snow. Typically traveling at 60-75 mph, snow, rain or shine. They do an exceptional job lighting up the ditch with the yellow color which is very easy on the eyes as the driver. The Sid of these lights is incredible, especially where I have them mounted. They cause minimal view obstructions and are hardly noticeable. I’ve had these lights on my truck for over 4 months and they haven’t given me a single issue. It’s rained and snowed nearly half of those days, so I’d go ahead and say I won’t have issues in the future with water resistance. I have them wired into an AuxBeam 8 position switch panel and it works so well with all of the lights on my truck. I’d put these on just about anything.

Great light, nice and bright and lights up the road. The value for what you get is excellent. Installed easily and came with all the necessary wiring for the project. Overall, this is an excellent product and worth the money.

The light is bright, small enough not obstruct your view and very eye catching. Installation was clear and easy, completed in 30 mins. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on its appearance.True story: My friends dog got out in the middle of the night and we used these lights to find him about half a mile away from home in the pitch black because the yellow light reflected him and his eyes from a block away. Worth every penny!The only flaw is the brackets that holds the light(part of the product), has started to rust and it’s been less than two months. I live in south Texas so it’s been pretty light rain so far this season, I’m unsure why it’s rusting so quickly. I don’t want to uninstall the light because it would require me to remove the light from the bracket and undo all the wiring placement under some of the body panels but I may have to, to paint it with rustoleum. The rust is the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.

The media could not be loaded. These lights are amazing! For their size, they are extremely bright... brighter than I was expecting! They have amazing water resistance and durability. The ones I have have been through multiple rain storms without any water intrusion and have continued to work even after multiple trips down really bumpy roads! The wiring harness that comes with the lights had more than enough wire to suit my needs which was a huge plus when it came to having them hooked up. I was not a fan of the on/off switch that came with the wiring harness so I had my installer wire the lights to a different style toggle switch. Other than that, I am very pleased with these lights and I highly recommend them!

Very good quality easy wiring system great product heavy metal very bright I'm sticking with this name brand
