    I made a CAMERA version 3rd Gen, so I needed to offer it for the 2nd Gen Crew as well.
    Being that the housing is half the size, it was a little harder to cram the camera in. Alas, I did it, but if you have a 2nd gen(or 3rd gen access cab) You will have to slightly trim the inside of the stock housing(see red in picture)

    It was the only place to place the camera at the proper angle.
    Here's the backside to get a better idea

    The KC version for the 3rd gen looks good actually it looks great. The 2nd gen and 3rd gen access cab version is slightly different with it being smaller and the edges are rounded off.

    It's what I had to work with... the cyclone is just so DAMN big. A "MINI Cyclone" would be pretty sweet @Taylor@KC HiLiTES

    I'm kinda surprised you haven't used the VLED's from the MESO Puddle Light project in a 3rd brake light yet.
    But then again, they are not available yet, so maybe?

    Once I receive them, I will try and incorporate them into a design. But unfortunately they do not have any red models.

    Meso, not trying to question your engineering but why such a big difference in mounting hardware between the KC and the BD? Or am i missing something?

    The KC cyclone lights require ONE bolt in the middle to secure it. They are not included when you purchase the light, so I include 1 M6 bolt/washer per light.
    The Baja designs use 2 smaller M3 screws to mount each light. They ARE included when you buy the light, so I do not include any hardware. If that the info you were wondering?

    Hmm this would be good! We'll keep that in mind. What overall diameter would you be looking for?

    Oh. Well crap. I don't have that at the moment. Been swamped with traveling, events, and then my spare truck just blew a transmission so I'm dealing with that. I hope to install it in April though.

    Nice to see this actually getting made :thumbsup: Really like the design.

    Next- make a flat cap to remove the shark fin (for both 2nd gen and 3rd gen.)
