Your original
equipment headlights are good for a lot of conditions, master
of none.
The big three of auxiliary lighting.
A well-equipped vehicle will sport three types of lighting.
KC HiLiTES Fog lights throw a wide, low beam to get under extreme
weather conditions. Our driving lights are a must have improvement
over stock headlights, burning brighter and penetrating farther
through the night. KC HiLiTES Long Range lights (for off road
applications) complete the performance lighting picture, throwing
high intensity light that projects up to 1 and 1/2 miles. |

lights are designed to supplement your high beam headlights.
Their candlepower, which is approximately twice what your headlights
are, coupled with a rectangular beam pattern, produces a light
pattern that reaches further than high beam headlights and give
added width to help us see things that are near the roadway
such as children or animals. The use of driving lights greatly
reduces the risk of animal strikes which are frequent in rural
areas. |

| Long Range |
| Our Long
Range lights are the whitest, brightest available for automotive
use. With round and rectangular shapes in several different
sizes, our long range lights range from 110,000 candlepower
in our 55 watt High Intensity Discharge (Metal Halide) units.
For off Highway commercial, agricultural or racing applications,
we offer the most comprehensive selection available. |

| Fog |
| Fog lights
are a special breed, and they don't have to be amber to do their
job. You see, conventional lights throw a broad beam containing
both vertical and horizontal light. Unfortunately, the vertical
light can project above the hood of the vehicle, which will
illuminate any particle of rain, snow, dust, etc. that may
be in front of the vehicle. When these particles are illuminated,
a dangerous glare is created that dramatically reduces seeing
distances by reflecting light back in to the driver's eyes.
(Please see illustrations below.) The effectiveness of KC Fog
Lights comes from the shape of the beam pattern which is very
wide, but only a couple of feet high. This pattern does light
the pathway close to the ground but does not light the airborne
particles that are in the drivers' line of sight, called refracted
light. Unfortunately federal law requires that fog lights must
be used in conjunction with either high or low beam headlights.
In clear weather conditions, fog lights are a very helpful addition
to headlights, as they add light immediately in front of the
vehicle, as well as increased side or cornering lighting. In
inclement weather however, the required use of headlights seriously
reduces the benefit of the fog pattern. The effectiveness of
fog lights in inclement weather is dramatic when used without
headlights. We hope the requirement will be eliminated in the
future to allow the use of fog lights with parking and tail
lamps only. |
