Auxbeam 5-Inch Side Shooter LED Pods 2-Pack — 20,400 lm Hybrid Beam, IP68

The Auxbeam V-Ultra Series 5-inch side shooter LED pods are a pair of high-output round off-road lights engineered to deliver long-range illumination, wide coverage, and durable all-weather performance for trucks, SUVs, and ATVs.

These compact 5" round pods combine a focused spotlight cup with dual side shooters and integrated amber DRL to create a balanced beam pattern that reaches far down the trail while also lighting the periphery. Built with aluminum alloy housing, military breather technology, and IP68 protection, the V-Ultra pods are designed for rugged use on road and off. They ship as a complete kit with covers, a DT wiring harness, mounting hardware, and a user guide — plus a 24‑month guarantee and customer support.

How bright are these Auxbeam 5-inch LED pods and how far will they light?

These pods combine P8 LEDs with 2835 SMD diodes for a total system output of 20,400 lumens (172W). The engineered optics concentrate light into a powerful beam, providing usable illumination up to roughly 1896 feet at 1 lux and clear visibility at several hundred meters for spotting obstacles early.

• 172W combined LED power for intense output.
• 20,400 lumens total brightness across the pair.
• Measured 1 lux reach up to ~1896 feet for long-range spotting.
• Dual side shooters extend side-to-side coverage.

What beam pattern and coverage do these lights deliver for off-road use?

The V-Ultra pods use a hybrid design: a deep spotlight cup creates a tight long-distance throw, while dual side shooters and wide optics deliver roughly 270° of spread to illuminate near-field hazards and peripheral terrain. This combination helps drivers see both the trail ahead and immediate roadside without blinding oncoming traffic when used responsibly.

• Hybrid spotlight + side shooter layout for throw and spread.
• Approximately 270° lateral coverage for improved peripheral visibility.
• Integrated amber daytime running lights for added daytime conspicuity.
• Comes with black protective covers to reduce glare and protect lenses.

Are these LED pods durable and weatherproof enough for tough conditions?

Yes — the housings are forged from aluminum alloy and fitted with thick heat sinks to dissipate heat under heavy use. The units include sealing, a military breather valve to prevent fog and condensation, and IP68-rated waterproofing, making them suitable for mud, rain, and dusty environments.

• Aluminum alloy housing with substantial heat sinks for thermal management.
• Military breather and anti-fog design to prevent internal condensation.
• IP68-rated sealing for immersion and dust resistance.
• Black covers included to protect lenses from scratches and debris.

What’s included and has anything changed in the wiring or switch?

The package contains everything needed to mount and wire the lights: two 5" round offroad lights, two black covers, one DT wiring harness, a full mounting kit, a user guide, and a sticker. Note: recent wiring harness batches include a switch labeled “DRL” instead of the older “ON/OFF” label — both versions perform identically.

• 2 × Auxbeam V-Ultra 5" round LED pods and 2 × protective covers.
• DT wiring harness, mounting hardware, and user guide included.
• Switch label update: some harnesses read “DRL” while older ones read “ON/OFF”.
• 24‑month guarantee and 24/7 customer support from Auxbeam.

Who is this for: The Auxbeam V-Ultra 5-inch side shooter LED pods are geared toward off-road enthusiasts, utility vehicle owners, and tradespeople who need compact lights that punch above their size for long-range spotting and wide-area illumination. If you want a durable, plug-and-play pair of pods with hybrid beam optics, amber DRL styling, and weatherproof construction for weekend trails or worksite use, these provide a balanced option without the bulk of larger light bars.
