Placement, Power, Pattern

• Reverse lights are mounted under or inside the rear bumper
• Dust lights are mounted higher, such as a roof line to avoid being obstructed.
• Baja Amber or Factory Amber lens color is recommended for dust light applications.

Zone 8 for reverse or dust lights involves two distinct locations, yet both share a common direction—facing rearward. Reverse lights are commonly mounted under or inside the rear bumpers, while dust lights are positioned higher up on the vehicle, such as the roof line. This elevation helps prevent obstruction as the vehicle angle changes and aims to maximize visibility by keeping the lights high above the dust. 

The power of Zone 8 is entirely at the user’s discretion. While some vehicles may benefit from a less powerful reverse light, others may choose the most potent and visually striking dust light available.

The pattern of these lights depends on the application. Reverse lights benefit from the Work/Scene pattern, offering a round and smooth distribution of light. A Wide/Cornering lens can be used when closer to the ground, or to gain a bit of distance while maintaining a wide spread of light. For dust lights, optimal placement is higher, such as on the rooftop, to illuminate as far above the dust as possible. 

The power of each light is a matter of user preference. That said, many off-roaders prefer brighter rear dust (chase) lights. We recommend choosing the amber color for dust lights, as it minimizes reflection and glare from dust and other particulates.
