KC HiLiTES 238 Daylighter

I've been looking for off road headlights for my jeep for a long time and when I saw the price of the Revain I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Overall I am very happy with the product and would buy it again if given the choice. The Good: Complete Wiring Harness - Kit 232, while very similar, does not include the full wiring harness and relay as stated in the description. For just a few dollars, you can get a 238 system and save yourself the headache of hooking up lighting fixtures. Easy to install - while the instructions are minimal, they are very simple and clear. With so many applications for many vehicles, there is no one particular make or model that fits, so make sure you research your vehicle before beginning this project. in my garage to test before cleaning. They easily dwarfed the 75 watt lightbulbs in my garage, there seemed to be daylight in two cabins. Cons: Full wiring harness. While it's good to have everything together, it's a one-size-fits-all solution. Couldn't install the relay where I originally wanted it due to a short in some pieces of wire. Prepare a few extra cables and connectors to ensure you get a clean install the first time. Protect the brushed wires from the top of the flashlight leaving significant scratches. The paint on the headlights is not bad at best, it probably wouldn't hurt to give them a clear coat before fitting. 1/2" racks - while I'm sure this will help keep everything tight and secure, if mounting to a bumper be prepared to drill some fairly large holes. Retailing at around $100, these lights are hard to beat from a trusted brand that offers a 23-year warranty on their products. I was disappointed that the paint scratches so easily, but personally I don't mind spending the extra time fixing the issue for the price.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
