Super Ultimate 3rd Brake Light Build

What was the ballpark retail cost on the BD lights?

 

them bitches are like 200 bucks for one damn flush mount.

 

Are there any pictures of the Kc version on somebodies truck yet?

 

Peanuts.

 

Be glad to have one. I’m in

 

The ones used in the OPs housing are more like $65 x4-5 depending on cab config. Either way.

I’ll be real excited for the 2nd gen/3rd gen AC KC cyclone model.

 

MSRP is $65. Baja gives TW 10% off. But there might be even more of a hookup if we get this package going.

NEWP. I haz the only one on earth. But it's getting shipped out for testing and evaluation

 

Smaller peanuts.

 

I'm in for the BD

 

Lol. I mean it’s worth whatever you want to pay for it.

I think the people who want the Baja designs version should shoot for a groupbuy.

 

sweeeeeet, these will screw into 2nd and 3rd gens right?

 

FINALLY.

 

Right... Some my fault an some baja's got a shipment of the last 2 lights one was wrong was another week before I had the right one.

I'll get a few more pictures and a little detail of what I did up here shortly still gotta take a output shot. Now that it's finally fully dark.

 

I posted back on page one how this could be done without rivnuts.should someone want to go back to stock.

 

2nd Gen Super Ultimate 3rd Break light ​

Thanks to @mesojdm for letting me do a little R&D on the 2nd gens for him.

The before picture.
This is all stock. Nothing special

Next I tore off the factory Housing, after you remove the screws there's going to be a little resistance. There's a sticky foam gasket back there. I stuck a plastic flat head between the housing an the cab, pried it enough to get leverage with my hands an it will come off.
(I didn't remember to snap a picture of the gasket stuff)

Also to note. I left the factory mounting points unlike meso with the rivnuts

Test fit before the lights.


So I stripped the wires completely of the outer jacket that Baja puts on them just for a little extra clearance an seemed eassier to seperate all of the positive and negative wired from each light.

I then twisted all the red/black together soldered them to a single wire for each +,-


Next I decided to cut the factory plug off my factory housing so I didn't have to cut the wires that are on the truck.


I then triple checked the colors to make sure I had them right from the plug to the lights.
Light is ready to be installed!


Don't mind the pealing tint, my tent rubbed it off.


And boom it's installed!
I to this point have chose to not put RVT on (gasket maker) but I will soon.



Little side bar, I had a concern with how tight the lights fit into the housing how would I remove them if I ever needed to pull the housing off.
After tinkering with it I came up with the idea of sticking the 2 nuts that come with each light behind the light between th housing an light. Doing this have me the option of screwing in the longer bolts that were also provided with the lights.
They have me a point that I could easily grab an pull removing the light.
This also gave me a good clean finished look with the black headed bolts on all of the lights and they are safely in so I won't lose any.









Side by side

 

So if I do my math right, we are coming in around $400 for the 3rd gen version with the KC lights?

 

Please recompute as that number is too large for my wallet to money ratio.

 

WTF? Cyclones are ~$30/ea. X 5 = $150. Housing is $100.

 

. Housing $100. 5 KC hikilites about 160 retail.
