Just picked up my Canyon AT4X and Im super stoked to take it out in the desert around Vegas! Kinda clueless about lights though, sorry if this is a dumb question but what are the best ones to get? Trying to spend maybe under 600 bucks before my trip next month.

Building on the earlier suggestion, I gotta be honest here. While those pods are great, you might want to consider the overall power draw if you plan on adding more accessories later. Be careful with your factory wiring harness unless you add a dedicated switch pod or relay system. Personally, I think a light bar setup gives you way better throw for high-speed desert runs, which is crucial when you are out in the middle of nowhere near Vegas. I would suggest looking into the Black Oak LED 20 Inch Double Row Series 2.0 12000 Lumens instead of just corner pods. It fits nicely in the lower grille area, but make sure to measure your mounting depth first because the AT4X bumper space is tighter than it looks. It hits that sub-600 price point easily. Another solid option if you want to stay budget-conscious is the Auxbeam 20 Inch LED Light Bar 126W Spot Flood Combo. Its way cheaper, letting you put the extra cash toward a decent wiring kit, but just make sure to seal the lens with some extra silicone since moisture can be a pain in the desert heat. Honestly, dont just slap the cheapest stuff on there. High-speed desert driving vibrates everything to pieces, so check your mount bolts after the first run. If you need help with the wiring diagrams for your specific trim, just ask.

To add to the point above: honestly, keep your wiring simple if you dont wanna blow a fuse out in the sticks. I ran the Nilight 18001C-A 20 Inch LED Light Bar on my old setup for a couple years and it held up fine for the price.
- Save cash for a good relay kit
- Dont skip on extra fuses
- Keep connections sealed from grit

Love the AT4X! For desert runs, grab Baja Designs Squadron Pro 490001 Amber for dust or Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro 6000K for insane output. Both are total game changers!

Congrats on the new truck! Definitely agree with the previous suggestion, but if you want something different for that Vegas desert heat, check these out:
- Rigid Industries D-Series Pro Driving Pattern are absolute tanks and look awesome on the AT4X.
- KC HiLiTES Gravity LED G4 Wide-40 Fog have that classic look and amazing throw for trails. Either choice will serve you well. Just make sure to grab a decent wiring harness to make the install painless!
