The HIR2 bulb, also known as 9012, refers to a specific type of halogen headlight bulb. Here’s a breakdown of what HIR2 (9012) bulbs are and why they are called HIR2:
HIR2 9012 Headlight Bulb:
Type of Bulb: HIR2 9012 bulbs are a type of halogen bulb primarily used in automotive headlights. HIR stands for "Halogen Infrared Reflective," which denotes a specific technology used in these bulbs to enhance performance.
Specifications: The 9012 bulb operates at 12 volts and has a specific base and electrical specifications. It is designed to fit into sockets that are compatible with 9012 bulbs.
Technology: HIR2 bulbs utilize a special coating on the inside of the bulb that reflects infrared energy back onto the filament. This improves the efficiency and brightness of the bulb without increasing its power consumption beyond the legal limits for halogen bulbs.
Application: 9012 bulbs are typically used as low beam headlights in vehicles that require this specific bulb type. They provide adequate lighting for nighttime driving and are known for their reliability and longevity compared to standard halogen bulbs.

Halogen Infrared Reflective (HIR): This technology enhances the performance of halogen bulbs by improving light output without exceeding legal wattage limits. The "2" in HIR2 denotes the specific type of halogen bulb and distinguishes it from other HIR bulbs like HIR1 (which corresponds to 9011 bulbs).

So I was shopping around for some lights for my Bronco and I came across Novsight products, man, was I trilled? I ended up spending over $3,000 in lights, not only I bought for my Bronco but also for my wife jeep wrangler, wanted to buy more but wife would kick me out off the house 😂 u can’t go wrong with Novsight products.
Your product is amazing and worth every dollar. I was able to adapt these to my truck seamlessly with a relative original look. The orange covers gave my truck a unique look with a great combination between black and orange. Thank you.
The best lights I've installed on my Tacoma.
Been running the 6 inch pods for a while now. No issues, I love them and am buying more of the Halo line. And that's about it. I bought my 6 inch pods off Amazon way back then. And I modded the black covers for light bleed with a Dremel tool and a vise. Handy when you are passing though places where local laws require covers or if you want to be slightly less BLING.
So the end of the summer of 2024 I was on Amazon poking around looking at AUX lights and came accross this company I never heard of by the name of Novsight. I know right? totally random. So I bought a couple 6 inch pods with combo spot and flood lights. Came is really handy during 2025's spring, summer, and fall road tripping, glamping, ebiking all over Wisconsin adventures. Get up my camp a few times by the dim orange glow of the halo and helped navigating back roads in the dim of night. They were completely trouble free. So I have been staring at those 3 inch pods for like, a year. And finally went YA, I need those after being out in the pitch black wishing I had something like a ditch light or a way to see the suicidal deer on the side of the trail. And here we are. Couple weeks back I ordered up some of those tri-eyed looking 3 inch pods. Had a gloriously "fun" time installing them in like 22F (-5.6C) but on my wrangler WAY easier than the 6 inch pods and here we are. I freaking love these lights and now eyeballing the HALO 3rd brake light.....
I did the spot lights for the bulb and they have great distance and stay bright all the way to whatever I point them at. Also really love the different DRL options. Would definitely buy again.
The lights are bright and I love the different DRL's. These are awesome lights! Would definitely buy them again.
Fit perfect and adds the look that I want.
Testing the new lights. The best thanks
I was in the market for some ditch lights. Came across these and took a chance. The first thing that pops are the X’s as DRL’s, they are great. Also serve as marker lights I would say for wider trucks. The out put of these lights are great and the ease of installation is what make these pods a great value. These are more like driving/spotlights however not exactly flood light type like I was looking for. It they are great regardless. I ended up hooking up 2 to each side of the truck to give me that ditch light effect and fwd view as well. Look forward to the 7” edition.
Nothing to envy to the other very expensive brands out there, I’m actually thinking tha this company is ahead of the other by adding their halo and x series, amazing lights.
I ordered 2 of the reverse/brake lights and mounted them on my rear bumper. I also tapped them into my 7-pin trailer harness, so they can function as turn signals and running lights as well. The reverse lights are super bright, and if you have a truck you know it’s a struggle to get proper visibility. Thanks to these lights, I’m able to have better visibility for myself and other drivers as well
This is probably my favorite product from NovSight. Everyone always asks me where I got them and how the install was. The install is super simple and I was able to connect them to my 8-gang switch panel from NovSight as well. I love the unique DRL lights and the brightness as well!
This is the first light bar I have gotten, and it better then I was hopping. I go to work in the dark and I don't regret getting this light bar. Well worth the money.
