Frequently Asked Questions About International HX Lights
Will these lights fit my specific International HX model year?
Most aftermarket lights for International HX trucks are designed to fit 2017 and newer models. However, fitment can vary between the HX515, HX520, and HX620 variants due to slight differences in grille and bumper designs. Always verify the specific model compatibility listed in the product description, as some lights are universal while others are model-specific. If you're unsure, contact us with your OEM number for exact fitment confirmation.
Do I need to drill holes or modify my truck to install these lights?
Installation requirements vary by light type. Most fog lights and auxiliary lights designed for the International HX use existing mounting points or brackets that attach to pre-drilled holes in the bumper. However, light bars and some specialty lights may require drilling or custom brackets. Each product page specifies whether modifications are needed. We recommend professional installation for any lights requiring electrical work or structural modifications to maintain your warranty.
Are these lights DOT approved for on-road use?
Not all aftermarket lights are DOT approved. Headlights and fog lights marked as DOT/SAE compliant can be used on public roads. However, many auxiliary lights, light bars, and work lights are intended for off-road use only. Check the product specifications for DOT certification before purchasing if you need street-legal lighting. Remember that even DOT-approved auxiliary lights may have restrictions on when they can be used while driving.
What's the difference between LED and halogen options for my HX?
LED lights offer 50,000+ hour lifespan, lower power consumption, and brighter output compared to halogen's 1,000-hour average life. LEDs produce a crisp white light (5000K-6000K) while halogens emit a warmer yellow light (3000K). Though LEDs cost more upfront, they eliminate frequent bulb replacements and reduce alternator strain. Halogen lights are less expensive initially and work better in snow conditions due to heat generation that melts ice buildup.
Can I install these lights myself or do I need special tools?
Basic fog light and driving light installations typically require common hand tools like sockets, screwdrivers, and wire strippers. You'll need electrical knowledge for proper wiring, including understanding relays, switches, and fuse sizing. Complex installations involving CAN-bus systems or dashboard integration should be done professionally. Most lights come with installation instructions, but factor in 2-4 hours for DIY installation depending on your experience level and the complexity of the light system.
