Any experience with this 7" light or something similar?
thinking of going LED off-road to replace the PIAA halogen.
And the yellow covers so common now?
I'm not an LED fanboy, don't like HID delay and power consumption/heat.
Or.. a great halogen?
No high speed off-road so wanna light the periphery for game, etc.
And of course I don't wanna spend for Baja, Rigid, VisionX...

TIA
 
Not the 7" ones you asked about, but Auxbeam sent me a pair of their 9" LEDs back in 2021 for me to test: https://auxbeam.com/products/zd000675. I tested them on my '06 pickup, swapped the factory fogs off and put these in their place.

They come with a very nice wiring harness, plenty of length to reach wherever you need it to and includes a switch and fuse. Hardware is stainless and good quality.

They are very bright:

Last fall they sent me the 7" lights you're asking about, including black lens covers and optional yellow lenses. I tested them on the same Jeep.

Hardware is similar to the 9" ones and good quality, and the wiring harness is pretty much the same.

They're not quite as bright as the 9" version, but maybe 7" is a better size for most Jeeps.

They've also sent me a few other light bars and pod LEDs to test over the last few years, so I've got some experience with quite a few of their products. Overall I'm happy with their quality and light power.

Just for the record, after these tests and writing reviews I swapped the factory lights back onto the Jeep; I prefer a factory look and don't need the extra lighting power, but if I had the need for either of the lights pictured above I wouldn't hesitate to buy them.
 
Thanks! More review than I expected.
Pondering. Fortunately I already have my PIAA wired so no bother swapping out lights.
