    @Taylor@KC HiLiTES

    Had these installed a couple months and noticed one of the lenses was broken. Is this something can be RMA and replaced or am I SOL? Honestly not sure what happened, I’ve never seen a lens break on anything I’ve owned.

    Dang! That's not good at all... that's only the third one I've ever seen like that. The fastest way to get help is through an RMA like you mentioned, see here: https://www.kchilites.com/return-form. If you want, you can call (866) 689-5955 to follow up.

    Just installed mine today, took it for a little drive, and I think they are aimed to high, how can I lower the beam ? Don't want to turn the wrong screw. Thanks!

    screw on the back of the housing, there's only one screw back there. Mine were too high too when I first installed, coupe turns and it was fine. It's an allen key

    Thank you, I'll try to find a wall and some flat pavement to align correctly this week.

    Just Purchased a set of G4 in clear and installed it in my 2018 OR. I was wondering if it's normal for it to be pointing just off to the side like at 11 O'clock position for the driver side and 1 O'clock for the passenger side. I don't think I installed it incorrectly.

    Do you have photos showing this? I am having trouble picturing what you're describing.

    IMG_7565.jpg The 12 arrow is directly in front/driving direction. The other arrow is the direction the fog lights are pointing. hope this explains it.

    Has anybody replaced their OEM rigid lights from a TRD pro with these? Looks like a would need a different bezel, but not sure if I need to buy a new bracket also.

    You should just need the OEM round bezel. The G4’s are higher performing than the TRD Rigids, and better color temp. You should be able to sell your TRD Rigid’s and bezels and cover the entire cost of the swap.

    Do these get warm enough to prevent bad icing in bad storms? I live in the mountains and want amber for visibility in snow/fog but also getting iced up is a concern as well...

    The KC Gravity series products like the G4 are among the most efficient lights on the market, providing great performance with very low power draw. Unfortunately that also means there is virtually no forward heat on the lens to prevent icing.

    Looks like you never posted pics @JoeCOVA
    3 years later, how are you liking the lights? Still running them?

    I think I did a separate thread KC Gravity Review or something. They were perfect until I replaced the bumper.

    @Dirk Diggler has them, he may have some insight.
