Super Ultimate 3rd Brake Light Build

Maybe so, but he is the one that is doing all the research and development, manufacturing, testing, assembly, marketing and shipping. His business, his choice.

 

Make sure you get the right solder, for electronics.

 

Just gonna drop this right here as I forgot to share it when we snapped this pic on a third gen!

 

throw some caps in those to finish off the look!
Also waiting for some 2nd Gen pics

 

These KC guys gotta get their stuff together. Haha

Edit.....a joke cause I still haven't installed the 2nd prototype

 

Looks good! This is the best image I've seen of this, I believe. Still running a deal for purchases on these?

 

If and when you can. Can you get a pic of how it lights up your bed please.

 

Customers want his products! Pretty certain survival is not a question here.

 

You know if those guys giving you a hard time I'll do the demo lol

 

Product is only one part of the equation.

 

anyone in VA done this? Have any idea if this would cause us to not pass inspection? I don't wanna start this and have it screw me up. @Taylor@KC HiLiTES ?

 

Hm that's a great question - I don't have an answer for ya there.

 

The VA dot law is sort of vague on the subject.

https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title46.2/chapter10/section46.2-1014.1/

Seems like an asshole inspector could potentially ding you if they don’t see a “DOT approved” on the light or it doesn’t meet whatever the hell “type approved by the Superintendent” is.

At the end of the day a brake light usually just needs to be red and bright enough to be seen at like 500ft.

 

You called it anyone locate an alternative to the black oxides and painting the stainless ones?

 

I am definitely in for a pre-order! Water is leaking through my stock one, assholes at the dealership gave me some BS about how my truck is a few months out of warranty so they're pushing me to replace it out of pocket. Dealers are such a scam.. Not to mention the fact that they wanted 120 bucks to do an "inspection" to verify the leak is coming from the 3rd brake light. Screw them, i'd would rather spend my money on an upgraded version.

 

Yes! Shoot me a PM for the discount code.

You got it! I'll do it this week since I am at our other office location with my co-worker whose truck that is.

 

I had already posted a bed picture. Pitch black garage

 

Who ever sent me a rear camera for R&D thanks
Fits JUST right in the 4 BD housing between the 2 brake lights. Being a little angled down+wide view...It should cover the entire bed plus cars behind you. Obviously it can't see directly behind the tailgate(that's what the rear cam is for)
This would actually come in handy for me because I haul stuff regularly and would like to check on the contents while driving.(really hard with a spare tire and jack up against the back window)




It's at about the same angle as the bed lights.


the rear clearance. Its PUSHING it, but we are Inside the seal, and there is a hole in the cab metal directly behind this so it should be no issues.


So with a NEW variable thrown into the mix.. that will put us at like 15 different combination lights
Now I for sure will have to go with a "special order" group buy because everyone is going to be different.

 

Glad my camera recommendation worked out

 

@destin_meeks Will the pcam 360 fit too? Not trying to be picky, just like a little adjustability/flexibility that looks amazing btw, I didnt expect the camera to be so little

Plus you mentioned something with a higher resolution for rear mirror type usage, any suggestions? Maybe even from the same manufacturer possibly?

What are your thoughts on the PCAM-FMBR180? Says he but resolution is 480 vs pcam-220 at 420
