Auxiliary driving lights provide increased coverage that factory headlights just can’t compete with. They come in especially handy during dusk and dark. You are most likely to find driving lights in bar, pod and round form, and beams vary from diffused to flood to fog.

A robust casing. LEDs tend to heat up quickly, so look for a deep heat sink. You also want a casing that has undergone a strong powder coat and is sealed from the elements.

First, our preference would be to install the highest-quality low-mounted bumper light your budget allows for. These are the best for all weather conditions and are used the most while driving.

In our experience, unless there is a lot of matting on the hood or the light bar is tipped back far enough, high-mounted light bars create a lot of kickback from the hood and other dust and air particulates, and don’t provide adequate visibility in poor weather conditions such as rain, snow and fog. Our team highly recommends installing the first auxiliary light on a low-lying area such as the front grille.

Most aftermarket lights are LEDs these days, and quality does matter. Here are some things to look for on your quest for exterior lighting:

A third set of rock lights are placed as far back on the vehicle as possible. We try to angle them outward so that light spills around the truck, resulting in a 360-degree illuminated path that eliminates the need for a headlamp.

Camp lights improve camp life significantly and are an easy addition to your overland setup. There are endless possibilities, including interior tent or camper lights, galley lights, cabinet lights, kitchen lights etc.

We really like using rock lights as utility lights because they draw hardly any power and they’re very versatile and durable. Our favorite is the RIGID Industries Rock Light Kit in Cool White. These rock lights have worked so well we’ve outfitted every vehicle in our fleet with a set of six.

A clear polycarbonate lens. High-quality lights will remain clear for the duration of their lifetime while cheaper ones will yellow over time. Keep an eye out for UV resistance as well.

We place another set of rock lights between the driver door and rear-passenger door, right in the centre of the vehicle. This is great for passengers exiting vehicles at night as the surrounding ground is lit before boots hit the ground.

Utility Lights are used to enhance basic functions around the vehicle. We like a lot of light in general, so we’ve mounted utility lights throughout the exterior of our trucks. Adequate light makes wrenching in the field, parking in the dark, or walking around camp that much easier.

High-efficiency LED technology. Cheap LEDs can be very bright but typically don’t last as long and may experience intermittent problems. They also draw a lot of power, which could lead to a drained battery. The high-end light bars draw significantly less power but produce the same amount of light. The old adage, ‘Buy once, cry once’ is very applicable here.

To be honest, before we started using the our wiring was horrendous and most of our lighting failures occurred due to poor wiring. The owners of sPOD, John and Cindy, are good friends of ours and they make a great product! The SPOD allows us to use between six and eight different switches, condensed into a single line, with management of all of them through a single device.

SAM Universal Heated LED Snow Plow Headlights with Multi-Mount Signal are over twice as bright as traditional halogens with a much longer lifespan. The high beams shine 3600 lumens per light and the low beams produce 1800 lumens per light, providing the brightness you need to navigate through late nights and snow storms. The tempered glass lens features full-lens defrosting. This heats the entire lens evenly to stop ice from building up on the light. The design prevents the "streaking" found in grid-based defrosting technologies. The directional indicator can be mounted on the left, right, or top of the light. The durable light features die-cast aluminum housing that will never rust and is rated IP68 and IP69 for dust and water resistance. A 6-pin Deutsch connector and a single stud mount make installation easy.

As Toyota trucks don’t come with engine bay lights, we usually mount a set of RIGID Industries 1×2 65° DC Scene Lights under the hood of our Toyotas. Clay fell in love with these flush-mount lights as they are angled perfectly and emit a diffused glow. This glow helps eliminate spots and rings without shining in your eyes when you’re working in the engine bay. We’ve also had good success with the Scarab Offroad Under-Hood Light Kit, which was installed in our recent 3rd Gen 4Runner build.

Full-lens defrosting technology stops ice from building up on the lights and prevents the "streaking" found in grid-based defrosting methods.

We always install a set of rock lights in the front wheel wells. This location is magic – it’s easy to inspect the suspension components, plus the light kicks out just enough to fill the area to the front inside of either tire. If you are rock crawling or stepping out to look at something at night, the area is fully lit.

There is a tendency in the off-road community to install light bars high up on vehicles. It looks cool and makes you feel like a global traveler. Top-mounted lights are best used when you’re bombing down a dirt road and want to be able to see far down the track.

Finally, for enhanced visibility, we’ve installed a set of reverse lights on our trucks. We currently run the , which are nestled in the Land Cruiser and Tacoma’s .

We’ve used the National Luna Hard Mount and Clip-on LED Lights for years in our Habitat system. The touchpad offers different beam options, including low, medium and high white or red. Be sure to consider red and amber lights, as they keep a low camp profile (the military has used them for years) and do not attract bugs as bright white lights do. For extra luminosity, we also mounted RIGID Industries’ 86620 White DC Scene Light on the exterior of the Habitat.

While your vehicle’s headlights are likely more than sufficient for global overland travel, there are undeniable benefits to adding good-quality exterior lights to your build. A well-lit camp is safer and more comfortable and will save you some headlamp batteries in the process! From rock lights to camp lights, there are a variety of options on the market – it’s just about what works for you. Read on for our tips and tricks when it comes to choosing exterior lighting for your overland vehicle.

We provide high-quality, durable truck and trailer parts designed to withstand the most challenging conditions. From engines to transmissions, from brakes to suspensions, we've got you covered. Our products are designed for heavy-duty applications, meaning they're built to last and capable of handling even the most demanding tasks.

Next, we would prioritize reverse lights. These are a priority for safety purposes, especially when backing up in tight spaces or in the dark.  After that, we would recommend area lights that shine over the most well-trodden camp areas.

We know the sheer number of lights and the electronic intricacy involved in the Expedition Overland fleet is not reasonable for everyone, but there are ways to prioritize. Our best advice is to start small and work your way up! If you are looking to add lights gradually, here are some tips on prioritizing what to invest in.

We refer to as the “Light Bar to Rule Them All”, and for good reason! Lengths vary from 10” to 50”, it has phenomenally good flooding for trail work, and a tight long-distance beam for moving fast down a trail or dirt road. This product also boasts a helpful GPS feature, which measures how quickly the vehicle is moving and intuitively widens or narrows the light beam as you slow down or speed up. Pretty cool! In our opinion, this is the most capable and adaptable light bar on the market.
