New KC-pod, 70 Watt HID Carbon Fiber Light


KC HiLiTES, Inc. continues to set new standards in automotive lighting with the introduction of their new KC-pod. This is the industry’s first 70 watt HID light.

Designed by KC engineers in conjunction with critical feedback from some of the nation’s top off-road racers, the KC-pod features a unique weight saving Carbon Fiber housing. The 70 watt HID bulb and computer designed Multi-Surface Reflector are protected by an Unbreakable Hard Coated Lexan Lens. The 7.25” Carbon Fiber housing is Fixed Mounted for extreme stability. The Spring Loaded Lens Assembly not only isolates it from the harsh impacts of off-road racing, but also allows for fast, simple and accurate aiming. An External Ballast is attached directly to the light housing to provide easier wiring.

The first extreme test of the new KC-pod took place at the 2007 Baja 1000. Mounted atop of the KC/Donahoe Racing/Nitto Tire Toyota FJ Cruiser, the lights were turned on at the start in Ensenada to finish in Los Cabos, B.C. Racing over nearly 1300 miles of the most treacherous terrain the Baja peninsula has to offer and more than 41 hours of continuous operation, the lights performed flawlessly as a true testament to their durable performance.

At the 2007 SEMA Show, the new KC-pod was awarded the “Global Media Award” by a

prestigious jury comprised of 50 leading international journalists who reviewed over 2,000

products. The judges were asked to evaluate products that they felt would be well received

by consumers and fill a niche in their respective countries. As editors in the international

automotive industry, their opinions and expertise are highly regarded.

KC’s new KC-pod is available in both Long Range and Driving beam patterns. For more
