Choosing the Right Rock Lights for Your Jeep or Truck Build

If you’re building a Jeep, truck, or UTV for serious off-road use, rock lights are one of the most functional and stylish upgrades you can add. These small but powerful LED pods are mounted underneath your vehicle to illuminate the terrain—helping you navigate obstacles, recover at night, or just look incredible at the next off-road meet.

But with so many options out there, how do you choose the right rock lights for your build? In this guide, we’ll walk you through key features to look for and show you why Xprite Rock Lights are trusted by off-roaders everywhere.

What Are Rock Lights Used For?

Rock lights aren’t just for looks—they provide:

• Underbody illumination for spotting rocks, ruts, and trail hazards

• Visual flair at meets, shows, and night rides

• Recovery lighting when you’re stuck or need to assist others

• Ground lighting when entering or exiting the vehicle

They’re essential for both form and function in off-road environments.

What to Look for in Rock Lights

1. Brightness and Beam Angle

• Look for high-lumen output to light up a wide area

• Wide beam spread is better than a narrow spotlight

• Xprite offers 3-LED and 6-LED pod options with vibrant, even coverage

2. Color and Control

• Single-color: Great for simplicity and brightness

• RGB: Allows for color changes, music sync, and custom modes

• RGB+W: Offers pure white plus full RGB range

With Xprite’s Bluetooth + RF controllers, you get full control from your phone or remote—even while on the trail.

3. Durability & Build Quality

Off-road terrain is brutal on gear. Make sure your rock lights are:

• IP67 or IP68 waterproof

• Shock- and dust-proof

• Sealed aluminum or polycarbonate housing

Xprite’s lights are trail-rated and designed to withstand water crossings, mud, snow, and hard impacts.

4. Easy Installation

The best rock light kits include:

• Long, durable wiring harnesses

• Mounting hardware (screws or rubber pads)

• Color-coded connections or plug-and-play systems

Xprite kits are made to fit Jeeps, trucks, and UTVs with minimal wiring headaches.
