The Type-X™ Sport Plus doesn’t just light the way—it redefines what’s possible in auxiliary lighting. Engineered with an advanced optical system, it delivers an exceptional balance of width and throw, ensuring optimal light performance across any terrain. The innovative combo beam pattern integrates 32 spot and 4 flood reflectors, offering outstanding long-distance visibility while maintaining excellent near-field illumination for complete situational awareness.

When it comes to performance, the numbers speak volumes. The Type-X™ Sport Plus achieves an impressive 1,192 meters @ 1 Lux (Pair) from the 8.5 Inch model, whilst the 7 Inch model boasts 1,055 meter @ 1 Lux (Pair). Its 5000 Kelvin colour temperature produces a crisp, natural white light that enhances visibility and reduces eye strain during extended nighttime drives. Engineered to withstand the harshest environments, the Type-X™ Sport Plus boasts an IP68 rating, designed to combat water, dust, and mud.

The Type-X™ Sport Plus has been developed with a mounting system that prioritises ease of installation, versatility, and compatibility with a wide range of vehicles.

The Sport Plus simplifies the installation process with its plug-and-play “onboarding plug” system, allowing for quick and hassle-free setup. Its re-engineered bracket system ensures a secure fit, even in tight spaces, making it an excellent choice for those upgrading their current lighting setup or starting fresh. Whether you’re mounting the Sport Plus driving lights on a bull bar, roof rack, or other mounting points, this light is engineered to provide a seamless fitment experience, ensuring your vehicle is ready to tackle any adventure.

CUSTOMISATION

COLOURED RINGS

The Sport Plus includes two interchangeable colour rings — orange and grey — both of which are included with the product upon purchase. Whether you prefer the bold, attention-grabbing look of the orange ring or the sleek aesthetic of the grey ring, the Type-X™ Sport Plus allows a level of customisation to match your vehicle’s personality or your own preferences. This thoughtful inclusion ensures that every Type-X™ Sport Plus user has the flexibility to achieve a cohesive, polished look without the need for additional purchases. It’s just another way the Type-X™ Sport Plus delivers on both functionality and style.

 

BLACKOUT COVERS

For the Type-X™ Sport Plus, two blackout covers are available for purchase: our Wicked Smiley Design Blackout Cover and the STEDI™ Stencil Design Blackout Cover. These covers not only add a touch of personality to your setup but also serve functional purposes, such as protecting your lights and ensuring compliance with road regulations.

Driving light covers are more than just aesthetic upgrades—they play a crucial role in adhering to road compliance standards. For example, in Australia, having more than four driving lights on a vehicle renders it unroadworthy; however, by covering a light, it is excluded from this count. Similarly, in the EU and USA, regulations require auxiliary lights to be covered when driving on sealed roads.

It’s no secret that the Type-X™ Sport Plus is a highly sought-after driving light, and with good reason. To give you peace of mind, we’ve designed an Anti-Theft Kit to keep your lights secure and deter would-be thieves.

Engineered with the same attention to detail as the lights themselves, the Anti-Theft Kit ensures your investment stays exactly where it belongs — on your vehicle. Whether you're parked at the trailhead or in the city, you can rest easy knowing your Type-X™ Sport Plus is protected.
