    Going through my brake light bin and doing some spring cleaning.
    Here is a chance to score some housings for cheap!

    RED BOXES are UNPAINTED and may have small blemishes(sanding should take care of it)
    GREEN BOXES are painted and no flaws- good as new.
    What you see is ONLY what I have available. You can checkout here

    What are the Hex 9’s?
    Hoping it’s a wider LED light bar as a 3rd brake light with built in cargo light

    Strangely this reads like those old L.Ron Hubbard - Dionetics commercials..... Hex Lights? Page 2436. The secret to non-taxable income? Page... $19.95

    They no longer make the smaller sizes . If you buy from BD you will get the correct size .

    I got a kc5 for Father’s Day!

    Couple of questions:

    Who has the best deal on cyclones? I can get them for 28.99 via Amazon. Any venders here have a better price?

    Next I’m trying to figure out the what order of lights to go.
    Red, clear, red, clear, red
    Clear, red, clear, red, clear.

    Last is the clear the way go over the diffused? I do like the way the defused sorta hides the internals but prefer function over form in the end.

    Yeah you want the diffused.
    I'd say 3 red. They are bright as hell
