A majority of components are made right here in the USA. And all of KC light covers and stone guards, as well as dozens of other components, are made at an injection molding facility in Prescott Valley, Arizona. By the way, that’s a $30,000 mold in the background.

If you own a company that specializes in off-road gear, you need a place to display your products … and your toys. In addition to KC’s main plant in Williams, Arizona, it also operates several distribution warehouses.

The first thing we noticed when we walked into the KC HiLites lobby (in addition to the five Best of SEMA Awards on the wall), was a stack of boxes that said “Made in the USA.” Taking a look out back revealed exactly that: American hands hard at work. DeHass is proud of this anomaly and said, “Producing these lights locally affords us better quality control … and we feel good about them being made in the USA.”

A majority of components are made right here in the USA. And all of KC light covers and stone guards, as well as dozens of other components, are made at an injection molding facility in Prescott Valley, Arizona. By the way, that’s a $30,000 mold in the background.

Most of the KC wiring looms are fabricated in Williams, Arizona, with private-label, American-made wire from Bee Wire in Los Angeles, California. DeHass said, “We buy miles of wire each month.”

We could tell that DeHass’ pride and joy is KC’s new HID POD. Specifically designed for racing, the POD is nearly indestructible, and one of the brightest and most durable off-road lights to date. The body is crafted from 100-percent carbon fiber, the lens of hard-coated Lexan (unbreakable), and illumination fires from the 70-watt KC HID self-mounted ballast.

From the days of their original product, the smiley-faced Daylighter, KC HiLites has morphed into a true international entity, and they can be found from Dubai to Australia.

Fresh off the mold! KC’s new light bracket is crafted (in the USA) from high-strength composite material and will securely mount any KC light to a 1.5- to 2-inch round tube.

From the first transcendental race in 1905, racers have recognized the need for reliable lights. KC HiLites sponsors dozens of racing teams and has more podium finishes than it can count.

The new Jeep windshield bracket uses the stock mounting holes and fits 2007 to 2009 JKs.

When the U.S. military and the United Nations needed high-powered lighting for their combat vehicles, they called KC. Note the array of KC POD HIDs.
