Auxbeam 5in 68W Offroad Driving Lights - Compact Side Shooter Beam

In this review of the Auxbeam 5in 68W Offroad Driving Lights, the bottom line is simple: these compact pods are for drivers who need a bright, focused auxiliary beam with improved side illumination for off-road or low-visibility conditions. The single biggest reason to buy is the double side shooter design that expands the effective lighting envelope, cutting down blind spots while still delivering a concentrated spot and flood combo from a small 5' pod. Installation is straightforward and the build feels durable enough for regular outdoor use.

Key Features

• Double Side Shooter Design: Both left and right lamps include side emitters which noticeably widen the lighting range and reduce hazards in blind spots while driving off-road.
• Compact and Bright: The small 5' pods each carry three high-intensity LEDs, producing a cool 6200K white output that provides long distance and widespread illumination in a spot/flood combo.
• High Output: Rated at 68W per pair and about 6800LM per pair, these lights deliver strong daytime visibility and clear night-time illumination for auxiliary use.
• Durable Waterproof Housing: Built with IP68 waterproofing and die-cast aluminum housing, the pods are designed to hold up in wet and harsh environments.
• EMC Shielding and Cooling: Built-in no electromagnetic interference (EMC) prevents radio issues and the multiple fins and radiators improve heat dissipation for longer life.
• Universal Fitment: Operating on 9-32V and supplied with mounting hardware, these pods can be used on a wide range of off-road vehicles, ATVs, UTVs, trucks and boats.

Who It's For

These lights are best for off-road enthusiasts, UTV and ATV owners, Jeep Wrangler drivers and anyone who needs compact but powerful auxiliary lighting for night trails, fog, or snowy conditions. The widened side illumination is especially useful where obstacles and trail edges create blind spots.

Those who need extremely diffuse flood lighting for campsite area light or who want an integrated multi-function OEM replacement may prefer a larger bar or a different lighting style, since these are small 5' pods optimized for directional distance and side coverage rather than full-area ambient lighting.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Bright and concentrated output with combined spot and flood beam for long and mid-range visibility.
• Double side shooter emitters expand lateral coverage and reduce blind spots when cornering or on narrow trails.
• Robust IP68 die-cast housing and effective cooling design promise durability and long service life.
• Simple universal fitment across 9-32V systems makes installation on many vehicles straightforward.

Cons

• As small 5' pods they are not a replacement for a full-length light bar when you need broad area illumination.
• Pair output is given, but individual pod output is modest compared with larger multi-LED bars.
