How Many LED Rock Lights Do I Need Per Vehicle or Wheel Well?

When considering the installation of LED rock lights on your vehicle, several factors come into play to determine the optimal number of lights per wheel well. Below are answers to some frequently asked questions to guide your decision.

1. How many LED rock lights are recommended per wheel well?

Traditionally, installing two LED rock lights per wheel well ensures even and consistent ground illumination. This setup typically requires eight lights for a four-wheel vehicle. However, advancements in LED technology have led to products like the Stage Series Rock Lights, which offer sufficient brightness with just one light per wheel well. For instance, Diode Dynamics' Stage Series Rock Lights can fully illuminate a wheel well with a single light.

2. Are LED rock lights street legal?

LED rock lights are generally not street legal. They are not SAE-compliant for on-road driving but are ideal for off-road applications. Before operating your rock lights, it's advisable to familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations in your area.

3. What is the waterproof rating of LED rock lights?

The waterproof rating of LED rock lights varies by manufacturer and model. For example, Diode Dynamics' Stage Series Rock Lights have an IP68 waterproof rating, meaning they can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. This makes them suitable for off-road adventures involving water crossings.

4. Can LED rock lights be used for purposes other than off-roading?

Yes, LED rock lights have versatile applications beyond off-roading. They can be used for ambient lighting, campsite illumination, accent lighting, and even as puddle lights. Their low-profile design and various mounting options make them suitable for a wide range of uses.

5. How do I install LED rock lights?

Installing LED rock lights involves several key steps:

1. Preparation: Inspect all components, disconnect the vehicle battery, and select optimal mounting locations.
2. Mounting: Mark drill points, drill holes, and attach lights securely, ensuring waterproofing.
3. Wiring: Route the wiring harness, connect to the power source, install the switch, and test the system.
