    Anyone know offhand what the specs are for the stainless screws around the rim of the KC cyclones? I want to replace the hardware.

    Are those NEW KC cyclones? It appears they have switched LEDs. Before they were a longer rectangle (~5730LED)
    You picture they look smaller and square (more along the lines of a 5050, or 3528 LED)
    @Taylor@KC HiLiTES did you guys switch emitters?

    I am not sure they were bought off KC’s site just a few weeks ago. Taylor do you know? Here is a few better pics. Just waiting for my black screws to show up today.

    By the way thanks for the paint Tip!

    If you are up north, odds are high that those black screws will be disappointingly rusted pretty quickly.

    San Diego! When they rust you can always replace. 100 screws for a few bucks lol.

    Just installed. Pretty easy except to reach the bolts to pull the old light out. They look awesome! Great job MESO and thanks for the how to for blacking it out.
    Here are some pics.All Blacked Out! If something goes out it is now easy to replace a part of the light.

    Damn! Blacked out KC’s are so hot. I loved the old BD’s but the new ones aren’t knocking my socks off. Decisions decisions.

    THAT LOOKS AMAZING! Ive been following since the old post where this idea came from and just wondering if you remember on that old Raptor light that had a built in CB radio antenna mount.
    Just some ideas but i think you could stick a mount in the middle above the center light or make it 2 lights and an empty spot in the middle to put a flush mount reverse camera or a go pro mount!

    Yep! We modified the Cyclones and are now pushing out V2s of them (have been for about the last 2 months or so). The LEDs are better/more reliable and brighter, but no external changes.

    @Taylor@KC HiLiTES , can you tell by the packaging if the Cyclones are the originals or V2's? I just used a Amazon gift card & bought a couple, it said the seller was KC HiLights. Haven't installed anything yet, snow & cold here.

    I was big on the BD’s but once they changed the size I went KC’s. I am glad I did they look awesome. Thanks to Taylor for hooking up a TW discount and Meso for creating!
