We do our best to listen to our customers, pay attention to the details, and stand behind everything we do.

Here are a few key differences you might find valuable: 

Powerful & Energy Efficient Light

Experience full brightness for days without draining a standard automotive battery. Our precision-engineered circuitry and premium components yield superior performance and longevity.

180° Rotation

Maximize your lighting control with our innovative 180-degree mounting system. This versatile design, paired with durable anodized aluminum brackets and chassis, provides secure installation anywhere. Easily direct light where you need it, adapting to any situation.

Extreme Durability

Kingpin lights can withstand extreme forces—from accidental hammer blows to inadvertent vehicle traffic (we don't recommend testing this yourself). Mount your Kingpin products with confidence, knowing they're built to handle whatever comes at them.

Slim Design

Our slim design features a low-profile, black anodized aluminum chassis and brackets, seamlessly paired with a pure white polycarbonate lens. This combination creates a stylish, high-performance look that can also easily blend in if you choose.

The perfect combination of form and function.

WIRING

Each V-Series light bar includes:

• Lead length matches the light bar length

1. Connect the ground wire (black -) to a common ground or negative battery terminal

IMPORTANT

• If unsure, seek professional installation services
• Test the light bar before finalizing the mount
• Products are NOT returnable after use
