    What did you use to bolt the new housing in place (rivnut, clip-nut, etc).

    If he used what I include, it’s a threaded “fairing clip” that slips over the stock metal of the cab. It can be removed if you ever decide to go back to stock.(doubtful)

    Yup! I used the hardware you included (thank you!), and also purchased neoprene washers, additional 1/4 washers, lock washers and m6 nuts for the 3 inside lights.

    I rubbed it up with my finger and then used GooGone to clean the residue. For me, I cleaned after with rubbing alcohol and followed up with car wash soap/water.

    All the people that previously had their headliner trashed because of the notorious third brake light leak now have to watch everyone destroy their good OEM third brake light :rofl:

    @mesojdm I know the KC housing has a seal but do I need to add anything else to make it water tight?

    Ahh I see, thanks! That's cool Meso hooks it up and provides the center caps, it makes the lights look even more bad ass.
