I've been looking at a set of driving lights and have been considering a set of Nacho TM5s vs Moriomotos or ARB Solis's. I haven't much written about the TM5s anyone know why? I see them for sale on the ARB USA web site.

Probably because it hasn't been around that long. It's sort've the guys who started Rigid (at least one of them), so I would think they're good. I think that guy (can't remember his name) also drives a Bronco.

I have met several of the Nacho Light guys, on a few occasions, they also participated in the Canyon Coolers Bobsled Event and they were present at King of Hammers. They were all super chill, and having fun with work and life. They also come across as both generous and engaged. A lot of the Arizona Raptor Runs group run their lights. I wouldn't have any reservations about running their lights either.

ARB/Nacho are one in the same now. I believe ARB acquired the brand earlier this year or late last year.

I've had no experience with them. Most folks go with the well known brands such as Baja Designs, Diode Dynamics or Morimoto. Rigid Industries would be our 4th best seller. We've only had maybe a COUPLE customers over the years ask about ARB/Nacho. It's a different style light.

We DO sell them but they are not on our website so if you were interested let me know and we can price it out. We're an ARB dealer.

Nothing wrong with them. They seem high quality but they can be pricey and it's a DIFFERENT kind of light if you look at them and how they are designed. They go for that "old school" look

Never heard of them 🤷‍♂️ but I'm not much into lights.

We love the lights that Nacho has been putting out and have been selling them since they went public. The TM5s were awesome, the new Grandes are even better.

Here's our TM5 video featuring a Bronco:



Here is our Nacho Grande Vid (unfortunately you'll have to put up with a Jeep) 😆 :

IMO, the only thing that looks good on the 6G retro themed Bronco, is round fog/off-road lights. Ridgid pods just look right, LED lights that try not looking LED. TM5 is doing the exact opposite, built around retrying their hardest to look 2015's Harbor Freight.

Because they look odd. First IMO, the only thing that looks good on the 6G retro themed Bronco, is round fog/off-road lights. Ridgid pods just look right, LED lights that try not looking LED. That TM5 is doing the exact opposite, built around retrying their hardest to look 2015's Harbor Freight.

ARB Owns Nacho. We sell them but we've not added them to our site yet. Mainly because the original merger was confusing and the data wasn't 100% available. They are great lights. I'd say they compete in the KC market with the "look". I wont' speak to quality because they ARE quality. ARB, Nacho, KC make quality lights with that ... "old school KC look".

I'd say the nacho probably have the best "old school" look to be honest.
