    Damn that looks great!! Maybe I should get the square ones instead of the circular ones. Do you have yours mounted to the retractible light mount? Or the fixed version?

    These are my old lights that I got from cali raised. They filled up with rain water after one year and CR would not warranty them. Do not do business with shady ass'd CR.

    One thing to think about is noise. With the CR lights, they would whistle at freeway speed thus being retractable would take care of that and hide them from crooks. The KC lights don't make any noise at any speed. So larger might not be better? Ask around.

    That makes sense. I didn’t consider wind noise at all, never even crossed my mind. I think you’ve helped me make up my mind. I’ll get similar lights to your setup for my truck. My wife thinks the smaller square lights look better as well, so that’s always a plus hah. Now I just need to decide if I want the retractible light go rhino sport bar to retract the lights, or if I want to just save $400 and get the regular solid go rhino mount where the lights are always showing up too.

    I wonder if CR has the same issues with their front bumper bull bars… was really liking the one they offered

    Plus, the KC lights shine for like a quarter mile. Those other ditch lights were garbage. I came home late one night with them on and my neighbor came out cuz they woke him up lol. They're that bright.

    G4 Amber FOGs, FE3 Combos on the bumper and have a set of FE3 Spots on the way. I am going to add a single spot in the middle. No daisy chain adapter yet from KC, but looks like they may have one in the future.

    I made a 3 way plug to keep all 3 lights on 1 switch until KC comes out with an adapter.

    Also ordered a DPDT on/off/on switch. Just need to set up an add a circuit from pin 6 to accessory to get the backlighting to work when lights are on.

    Light is glowing, not putting out light. Swapped to a harness for a light that’s working fine, no improvement.

    Reached out to customer support, hopefully they warranty it.
