Auxbeam 4 Inch LED Pod, Square Pod Light with 5050 LED White Flood Beam Offroad Driving Fog Light with Wiring Harness for Jeep Wrangler Truck Pickup SUV ATV UTV (2 Pcs)

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 2018 LED’s: Auxbeam Floodlights Wiring Harness: Auxbeam Included With Floodlights Mounting: Nilight 90025B LED Light Bar Mounting Brackets Here are the steps I took to get where I am now. 1. The Search For Correct Mounting One 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 Setup As 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 Setup The 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 Perform They 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. Conclusion If 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

It’s been over a year now since I bought these and put them on. I’ll keep this simple. If you have them in your cart, just buy them. They are 100% worth it. They are perfect for all weather conditions. They have held up for over a year now and I pass my truck through car washes, rough terrains, and weather conditions. The install was so easy to do. They provide enough wire to route where ever you would like to place them. The fit and look of these lights draw so much attention. I get people asking me about these everywhere I go. The adjustability and the brightness are phenomenal. They are so easy to adjust and rotate to whatever direction you need them. I 100% recommend these to anyone that has been looking for a reliable set of ditch lights. Video: 2019 Silverado with LED package (low beam, high beam, and then ditch lights)

So far so good perfect for my 05 Lexus gx470 I’ll update if I have any issues for now it’s a 5 start

Super nice lights! I Just finished tucking the wiring harness away on my ‘21 crosstrek. Wired in a flush dash switch. Came in to take apart the pods, in order to seal them up even more than factory. I used some silicone caulking, but unless fully submerged.. I doubt these would leak anyhow. The factory casing is pinching a rubber seal. Pretty bulletproof but I wanted to be sure. Just waiting for my hood mounts to come in the mail but everything works as should and good quality!

Very happy with the purchase! Lights are very good quality and super bright. Light color completely matches all other factory lights like headlamps foglamps etc. Looks very nice and very usefull. I bought other noname amber lights (spot) for installation above the hood( barely visible on the picture).So I regret now that didn't went for Auxbeam here as well because that one has very poor brightness compared to Auxbeam and price was almost same.

Great lights. They are very bright however they are more of a spot light with a little but of flood beam.

These lights are extremely bright and work perfectly for my application as ditch lights on my 4runner. If I have any other projects that require pod lights then I will be buying these again because they are super bright, easy to install, and offered at an amazing price. Only future update I would like to see from the company is having a slightly larger mounting hole for the relay mount. I had to use a drill to make the hole larger to fit the required bolt size on my 4runner.

Good so far very bright, looks good not to large. Easy install changed to a flip switch but came ready to install if I hadn’t changed that. Edit unfortunately used 3 times and one doesn’t work now, might look for another option

I really like these lights . They look well made, I mounted them on my motorcycle crash bars, had to buy a set of clamps. There is a lot of wire obviously to mount to a truck etc so I had to cut some out and make some connections, might be problem for some. They are very bright so will light up the ditches, edge of the road on the right and down the driving lane on the left.

Came on time and easy to install and super bright

Build quality is awesome. Extremely bright too.

Good stuff

Hardware is not stainless steel so it rusted within 2 months. The powder coating (or paint) went from black to grey quite quickly, and after two years it started peeling off… I guess you get what you pay for :)
