Designed to perfectly fit the 1997-2006 Jeep TJ, these brackets were machined to mount on the A-Pillar and hold single-stud mounted lights. The 4.5″ LED Light Cannon (XIL-OEA9706TJCPZ1) kit comes with two lights, a wiring harness, and mounting brackets for a plug-and-play experience. As with most Vision X vehicle-specific kits, the 1997-2006 Jeep TJ A-Pillar kit does not require any drilling to be mounted.

The new A-Pillar brackets will allow TJ owners to install lights in a unique spot on their vehicle and achieve light distances of up to 1,000 feet. They are constructed from high-quality steel, and surpassed rugged product testing at the infamous King of the Hammers event earlier this year.

Shedding Light on Road Safety

A recent AAA report described deficiencies in standard halogen headlights on roads lacking overhead lighting. Rural roads, which convey 40% of this country’s overall vehicle traffic as measured in miles traveled, are the most likely to exist under such low-visibility conditions.

AAA found that halogen headlights were insufficient to illuminate dark roads at speeds as low as 40 mph. Though high-beam settings offered better results than low, halogen “brights” provided sufficient reaction time only for an additional 8 mph in real-world conditions. With halogen bulbs used in more than 80% of today’s vehicles, the study highlights serious opportunities to improve safety—specifically the ability to see and react to road hazards—using aftermarket HID and LED lighting.

HID and LED lights did a better job enabling faster reactions to road obstacles. In particular, their high-beam settings provided sight distances up to 500 feet—equivalent to 55 mph. No bulb can replicate the visibility of full daylight, and the US still has some work to do to catch up with the lighting output available in Europe, due to restrictions imposed by domestic regulations.

One final tip: Clean or replace your headlight housing at least every five years! Deteriorated or cloudy lenses can reduce intensity and increase scattering.

Total Truck Centers partners with several manufacturers that offer advanced HID/LED products, including Anzo, PIAA, Pilot Automotive, Putco, Race Sport, Rigid Industries, Vision X, and Westin Automotive. So head in to your Total Truck Centers retailer to find the bulbs perfect for your application. Or find a store using our dealer locator.

The Vortex LED Headlight features a bright halo ring that can be active without having the low beam or high beams on. Having a 7″ halo on the front of your vehicle will not only turn heads but also provide you with the optimal lighting options for the right conditions. What’s more, every part of the headlight has been approved and certified by the DOT in all states. The XIL-7RDKIT is sold as a pair.
