2017 INFINITI QX80 Lighting, Light Kits, and Accessories

Bolstering your truck, Jeep®, or SUV’s lighting is one of the most practical upgrades you can make. Not only does upgrading to high-quality lighting improve your visibility of the road ahead, but also others’ visibility of your pickup, minimizing the risk of visibility-related accidents and injury. At RealTruck®, we offer several types of lighting, ranging from purely aesthetic to highly functional. Let’s cover a few of our most popular lighting categories.

Why Light Kits are Important for Your Vehicle

Fog Lights

 Fog lights significantly improve visibility in dimly lit or foggy conditions. These bright lights are typically located in the front bumper, sitting closer to the ground than headlights to cut through the fog and project light directly onto the road. While generally white, fog logs can also cover golden and yellow color temperature ranges, which tend to cut through fog slightly better.

Off-Road Lighting

Off-road lights improve—you guessed it—off-road driving. These high-intensity self-contained lights feature heat-dissipating alloy housings, allowing you to mount them in various locations like aftermarket bumpers, A-pillars, and more. Robust polycarbonate lenses resist impacts and abrasions, ensuring long-lasting service on even the toughest trails.  

Most off-road lighting uses high-output LED technology to cut through all conditions, whether dusty, snowy, or rainy. Like fog lights, off-road lighting comes in white or amber illumination.

Signaling

Auxiliary signals or high-intensity turn signal bulbs are a solid option for any application, improving the visibility of your turn signals to give other drivers on the road a clear, bright view of your next move.

License Plate Lighting

Bright license plate lights are practical for both legal and aesthetic reasons. While working license plate lights are required by law, installing crisp, white LED bulbs is an effective way to modernize your ride’s appearance, especially if you’re already running LED headlights, signals, and running lights! 

Under Car Lights

Take your off-roader, weekend warrior, or daily driver to the next level with premium under-car lighting. Offered as individual pods or LED strips, under-car lighting provides superior visibility of your vehicle’s suspension and the surrounding terrain. The additional light can benefit trail repairs, navigating dark trail sections, or even when parallel parking or reversing on a dimly lit street or driveway.

FAQ

Q: Which is better, LED or Halogen lights? 

A: Though neither option is inherently worse, we’ll have to give the edge to LED lighting. LEDs are brighter, more efficient, and last substantially longer than comparable halogen bulbs—they also offer a wider color temperature range. 

Q: Why should I install a light bar or LED cubes?

A: Light bars and LED cubes are a great way to bolster your ride’s appearance and light output. Just be mindful that some auxiliary lights are legal for off-road use only.  

Q: Are colored headlights and taillight covers legal? 

A: While the rule varies from state to state, generally no. Aside from amber or white front-facing and red rear-facing lights, most colored lights are illegal for road use. These colors should be reserved for show trucks and off-highway applications.
