Looking for guide to install pod light to act as additional hi beam.

Don’t forget to check your state law concerning vehicle lighting. Many states require auxiliary or off-road lights to be covered when driving on roads.

 

Many do, but many also allow a single pair of SAE J581 compliant driving (high beam) lamps to be uncovered for street use as they are street legal. Pairs beyond one additional need to be covered, and non-SAE lamps need to be covered.

 

It will be too much of light if your driving on road and in traffic

 

It sits well below the HL's. I have run it accidentally coming from total darkness ( heavy deer area) into traffic and not turned it off and no one has ever flashed me. What is the difference between that and pods while entering traffic? Pods would tend to be at eye level, while this is closer to the road.

 

Tap into the high beam wire by the headlight and use that as the trigger leg on the relay driving your pods. Everything works off the oen controller in the cab, and you get really good hi beams.

ETA and the cab of your truck doesn't look like the space shuttle with all the extra switches.

 

So will your pods even if they are sae rated. No highbeam should be on even on a split highway with on coming taffic. You are blinding people

Even if a bar is mounted low there is no cut off on 90% on light bars. I have had bumper mounted 30" dd with driving/sae fog lenses and a combo s8 currently and you cannot run those with oncoming traffic without blinding people. If you want better deer defense ditch lights in a spot or combo flared out to widen your high beam angle is the best.

4 years of experimenting with beam patterns and locations has the front of the truck looking like the sun if you turn everything on at once.

 

Ive spotted deer on the side of the road and in the woods with the 30" Lightbar no problem. I just narrowly missed two the other morning @5am while driving alone without the light on

 

More light is always an improvement but running the 2 side by side the other method is far superior in comparison.



I have quality lighting in all positions iv compared it all side by side. A bumper mounted bar just doesn't have the spread to do the ditches at distance
