    No, just the back. Installation instructions can be found here:

    :eek: :annoyed:
    I was on the road when this dropped.
    Figured “weekend” meant Sat/Sun... not “Payday Friday”.

    Anybody impulse regret? I’m your Gumby and I won’t judge... :anonymous:

    Thanks for that, much appreciated!!

    I think I've seen that vid before, I guess I'll find out when I get the lights in it and installed. The oem bed lights are pretty weak but they do aim into the bed.

    By the way did you get any kind of discount on the lights?? ....I thought that there was supposed to be a discount or or group buy then it was going to work as a package deal but that didn't happen.

    I posted it back in September, but it’s buried on page 51.

    I got mine as a complete package in May, in a non-cash deal.

    Yup I thought that vid looked familiar and nice deal there!
    I think I'm just going to have to go for it and see it in person but I'll probably pass it on if theres no deal on the lights.

    Yeah I feel you, I thought it was this weekend (sat&sun) too. I just got lucky and happened to check about an hour after he posted and for once they were not completly gone! Is yours leaking? I bet of you personally messaged him and explained that yours is leaking he would probably hook you up under those circumstances. I'm pretty sure he did that for another member if I remember right.

    @mesojdm, just a heads up, I don’t think the email notification on the website works. I didn’t get a email saying they were in stock :-/

    I have not. As I continue to get the new BD model in production as well as more KC's,.. I am looking into sourcing the OEM brake connector.

    To clear things up, I was never going to offer a "discount" on KC lights. I was just going to make them easier to order "add to cart" on my website.But I couldn't get the whole drop ship/website integration figured out so I just sold the housings by themselves. Taylor might be able to give a forum discount though
    Sorry :/
    My definition of weekend starts friday lol. But maybe it's for the best so you can get the new BD version;)

    The one's that are out in the wild are randomly sent out to members so I can have a diversified testing audience and make sure every detail is buttoned up before the final design is launched. Some may have had leaky OEM brake lights, some haven't.

    Thanks! Spent a good part of the morning doing packaging but unfortunetly didn't make it to USPS in time(noon cutoff) so they will all go out the next business day:D

    I hope that’s soon buddy :(

    As much as I am a BD guy for life I would def run the KC one just to seal my cab back up from the elements.

    ----Just to be clear, that post you quoted was not directed to you.
    I was asking on of the guys, beergeek who got your housing early if he got a deal on the leds. It was always clear that you were not selling the leds.








    ----Earlier on Taylor@KC HiLiTES had mentioned a group buy. It would be nice if he follows through with that.


    @Taylor@KC HiLiTES Are you still going to offer a group buy or maybe an easier option a discount code for those of us who bought the KC housing??

    All good. For the next batch I’ll hope to have the website all up and running so it’s a 1 shot checkout. Although they will be posted at M.A.P so around the same price everywhere else online:/
