    Come up to Williams this week, and we'll get you taken care of :thumbsup:. No frosted/diffused red... just a diffused white. The red we make is a clear lens, you don't really need a diffused lens on the different colors.

    Come by whenever Mon-Fri! I'm usually here unless out at an event or something. Great pit stop before/after visiting the Canyon. Good luck on the install!

    I see you probably ordered already, but another format to consider - amber vs clear/white. I rarely use the cargo lights and would rather not kill my night vision when working/camping/etc. Plus, I can use them as a chase light off road or as high visibility during heavy fog, snow, or rain. Food for thought!

    @MESO can you tell me the the thread size for the 3 center bolt holes on the kc lights? They appear to be threaded and don’t want to mess the threads up. Also what was the consensus on the best plastic plugs for the center of the cyclones. I think I read something about Lowe’s having them but can find it in the 130 pages.

    Meso does provide the center caps for KC lights, it comes with 3rd brake light housing.

    He also includes the hardware, so no need to worry... well, unless you’re me and replace things to achieve solutions.

    Hmmmm I didn’t get any hardware except the clip nut things and the bolts for those. I think my wife got mine from the spring cleaning sale he just had. So probably didn't include the extra hardware with mine. I guess I’ll have to figure something out.

    I can check my supplies, but I seem to recall M6 bolts and 3/4 cap plugs.

    Thanks, @MESO just got in touch with me and will be sending out the rest of the hardware. His costumer service is so much more then expected every time I do business with him!

    @MESO are you going to make any more of the current versions, or is it just going to be the hex version from now on?
