These Older HID and Light Cannon Products Are Discontinued
Vision X HID lights and early Light Cannon products were popular choices for long-distance auxiliary lighting, off-road racing, work trucks, and specialty vehicle builds. At the time, HID technology offered strong output for its size. Today, modern LED lighting is the better choice for most new builds because it does not rely on HID bulbs, ballasts, starters, or warm-up time.
Newer Vision X LED lights are designed for instant-on output, improved reliability, updated beam control, more flexible mounting options, and cleaner integration into modern trucks, Jeeps, SUVs, UTVs, overland vehicles, race vehicles, and work vehicles.

Why Replace HID Lights with Newer LED Lights?
HID lights were a strong option in their era, but they are no longer the best fit for most new lighting builds. HID systems depend on bulbs, ballasts, starters, and warm-up behavior. Modern LED lights avoid those drawbacks while offering instant-on performance, better reliability, more current product support, and more flexible optical designs.
LED lights also make it easier to build a complete vehicle lighting system. Instead of replacing one old HID light with another older-style light, you can choose a modern combination of driving lights, compact pods, fog lights, A-pillar lights, bumper lights, reverse lights, or roof-mounted lights based on how the vehicle is actually used.
