    With rear facing mounts, from the edge of the face to the rear mount ~3.75" using the D-series mount vs ~4.25" using the 360 mount. Note the D-series mount is not a direct fit, you may need to undersize the bolt and use washers to fix the wider spacing, but it can be made to work.

    I know KC was trying to determine the future of the G34s a while back, while they are a good light they are a bit of an odd size in the world of 3" square and 4" round fogs. However the G4s actually perform better, the round reflector is more efficient and provides better light distribution than a rectangular reflector as backed by the data in this thread.

    Sounds like waiting on final components, no hard date but the current estimate is 1-2 weeks.

    From Diode Dynamics website comparing Sport vs Pro series:

    I bought KC G4's last February. I have been very happy with the output of them.

    I was very disappointed last night when I looked at my truck. The passenger side fog light was filled with condensation. These lights have never been submerged, just rain and car washes.

    On the website they mention a 23 yr warranty. Hopefully they consider a non sealed light to be craftsmanship.

    I’d fully expect that to be replaced under warranty. Contact KC directly, Taylor (the KC forum rep) has been traveling a lot and hasn't been active on the forum in a while, making it very challenging to get a forum response, they were just in Saudi Arabia this week.

    @Diode Dynamics I was looking at your flush mount kit. Do you plan on making a flush mount, two led version as well?

    I enjoy my S2 ditch lights (and DD stage series bar!). I also wonder if they'd consider a combo optic in the future, like 2 flood and 2 spot/driving in the same pod.

    i really like that setup with the light at and side lights. What rack are you running where the whole is on the body vs by the rack bars?
