Project X Series X HP.85 High-Power 8.5-Inch LED Auxiliary Light | Combo Beam | Universal | AL538805-1

Is This for You?

You're building a truck, SUV, Jeep, or UTV and you want the highest-output individual auxiliary pod in the Project X Series X lineup — a single HP.85 high-power 8.5-inch LED pod with a combo beam pattern for balanced distance projection and peripheral spread. The Project X HP.85 (SKU: AL538805-1) is Project X's largest auxiliary pod — the 8.5-inch housing delivers more raw lumen output than the HP.70 (7-inch) at the same combo beam configuration. This is the individual pod version of the HP.85 — sold as a single unit for custom mounting configurations, supplemental lighting additions, or builds where you need to specify exact pod placement rather than using a pre-configured kit.

The Result

One HP.85 high-power 8.5-inch LED pod with combo beam at $488.88. The HP.85 delivers the highest per-pod output in the Project X auxiliary lighting lineup. The combo beam provides balanced distance projection and peripheral spread — the most versatile fixed-beam optic for builds that need both forward reach and side coverage from a single pod. Sealed electronics, corrosion-resistant housing, and off-road-rated construction deliver long-term reliability under vibration, weather exposure, and harsh trail conditions.

Verified Fitment (OFAS Standard)

• Fitment: Universal — compatible with any vehicle equipped with appropriate mounting brackets and a 12V wiring harness
• Mounting: Requires compatible mounting bracket — not included. Bronco-specific bumper mount available: AC538856-1 (2-pod) or AC538853-1 (4-pod).
• vs. HP.70 (AL538804-1): HP.85 = 8.5-inch housing, higher output. HP.70 = 7-inch housing, lower output. Same combo beam pattern. Choose HP.85 for maximum output; choose HP.70 for a more compact pod at lower cost.

Engineering Question

Running a pair of Project X HP.85 pods (AL538805-1) on a custom A-pillar mount on a Jeep Wrangler JL — does the HP.85's 8.86-lb per-pod weight require a heavier-gauge A-pillar bracket than the HP.70 (AL538804-1) to prevent vibration-induced bracket fatigue on extended trail runs, and does the HP.85's combo beam at the A-pillar mounting height produce a meaningful improvement in peripheral coverage over the HP.70 at the same position? Contact OFAS with your mounting location, vehicle platform, and bracket spec and we’ll confirm the right pod and bracket combination for your build.
