non-ridiculous-looking round LED off-road lights

[Lead Head]

So my 4-Plus bumper has two spots above the winch to mount off road driving lights. I'm having trouble finding an LED light that doesn't look ridiculous. It seems like all of these things, even from respected brands like Hella and ARB, look like they're all designed to appeal to children and video gamers (...and I'm a video gamer!) They all have goofy shapes or dozens of individual LED lenses and reflectors ...and none of it fits the aesthetic of an FJ60/62.

I'm basically looking for something that looks pretty close to a round halogen off-road light, but LED. The ARB stuff just looks insane. The Hella Blade HP is better, aesthetically, but not quite what I'm looking for.

Anything out there that's quality, and gives halogen-like aesthetics? Quality is a key factor here as well, I'm not interested in some Amazon junk that's going to fill up with water in 3 months.

KC still has some Daylighters that look relatively classic, but I agree it’s hard to find

I’ve always thought similarly.

I saw these the other day and they’re still kind of weird but I appreciate the smooth housing

Agree, its tough to find that look with LEDs. My go to are the Baja Designs. Pricey but solid quality and durability. The light pattern output is some of the best Ive ever seen.

These are what most of my customers and myself go with.

LP4, 6 or 9
XL versions

The KC are not a bad choice, just lighter duty product.

But as far as looks.... that is in the eye of the beholder. The older I get, the worse things are starting to look for me!

Unfortunately those Baja Designs LP lights are exactly what I don't want. Not interested in the sci-fi robo-spider-eye look. Don't think it meshes well at all with the aesthetics of my truck.

This thread has the makings of a business opportunity.

I've been looking for something like this for a few years now. You're right that most modern offroad LED lights look like some 5th grader bored in the back of class scribbled them in a notebook - all weird angles and stuff. They look like a fighter jet or a modern Lamborghini. There seem to be more classic looking LED options if you're looking for a low-output fog lamp, but I want something high output for both trail and highway driving late at night.

As above the KC Daylighters come in LED and don't look too bad. Hella also has some LED options in the 4000 Series, but it seems like they're discontinuing those. Hella's "Blade" Series (which seems new) has some LED options in round lights. Lightforce "hybrid driving light - LED" looks ok. Nacho (out of Australia) has a few options that are halfway in between "tech" and classic looking. That's all I got.

LIKE i said............ eye of the beholder. Koito still makes a halogen style IIRC. Be closest to an OE look as possible and might be able to miss that deer if you get close enough and going slow enough.

I went with KC Gravity Pro6. They are just retro enough to tie in nicely, with good performance/price ratio. Also not ridiculously huge. KC customer service has been great with some shipping snafus too.

We offer some old stock Koito Halogen fog round lamps. Toyota still sells rectangular units as well HERE.
We have been working on trying to find some good LED h3 bulbs for our lamps. Still on the hunt.
They are not insanely bright-burn your retina units. They are old school get the job done lamps.

There was a company out of the UK I believe that had a LED lamp with a more classic look but I can't remember the name. I'll have to dig it up.
