Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner Columbia 112/120 Driving Lights
Q: Will these driving lights fit my specific year and model Columbia?
These driving lights are designed to fit Freightliner Columbia 112 and 120 models from 2001-2015. They mount directly to the factory bumper mounting points on both steel and chrome bumpers. However, if your Columbia has aftermarket bumpers or custom modifications, you may need additional brackets or adapters. We recommend checking your bumper configuration before ordering.
Q: What's the difference between halogen and LED options, and which should I choose?
Halogen lights are more affordable upfront and produce a warm, traditional light pattern that many drivers prefer. LED lights cost more initially but offer 50,000+ hour lifespan, use less power, run cooler, and provide brighter, whiter light output. If you drive primarily at night or in poor weather conditions, LEDs offer superior visibility. For occasional use or budget-conscious buyers, halogens remain a solid choice.
Q: How difficult is the installation, and what tools do I need?
Installation typically takes 1-2 hours and requires basic hand tools including socket wrenches, wire strippers, and electrical connectors. The lights mount using existing bumper holes, but you'll need to run wiring to your dash switch. Most drivers with basic mechanical skills can complete the installation. The main challenges involve routing wires through the firewall and ensuring proper grounding. Detailed instructions are included with each kit.
Q: Are these lights DOT compliant, and what about local regulations?
All driving lights we carry meet DOT specifications for auxiliary forward lighting. However, state and local regulations vary regarding when and how auxiliary lights can be used. Most states require covers when lights aren't in use or restrict their use to off-road or low-visibility conditions. Check your local laws before installation. The lights include mounting provisions for snap-on covers where required.
Q: What size lights fit best, and how many should I install?
The Columbia bumper accommodates 4-inch, 6-inch, or 7-inch round lights, with 6-inch being the most popular size for balanced light output and appearance. Most drivers install two lights (one per side) for symmetric lighting, though some add a third center light for maximum visibility. Consider your typical driving conditions - two 6-inch LEDs provide excellent coverage for most applications without overwhelming oncoming traffic when properly aimed.
