Show off your KC HiLiTES & General BS Thread!

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.

 

Not a Tacoma but I installed a KC gravity bar recently

 

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.

 

Kc Gravity Bar and Fog lights. Ill probably never need them but i also dont need a 4x4 truck. But man they look great and throw a lot of light. I need to get the smiley face caps for em. Maybe after tax season lol.

 

I have some questions about some KC lights! Hopefully someones still around to answer em.. I'm thinking of getting two lights for the front of my ARB bumper. I like the combo of the KCs and ARB. It just looks and feels right! That being said I think I wanna go with my Gravity pro 6.

SO! My two questions are what style of beam should I get? Right now I do a lot of highway driving at night through rain and snow so whatever i'll get, Ill get some amber covers aswell. I already have some rigid 360 fogs fitted in the slots. They're alright but id like some more coverage. Additonally I plan on getting a roof light bar for more intense off road situations. This will be to get me by and down the highway in the meantime.

My next question is, how do folks even like the gravity 6s? Do you recommend anything else? I don't see a lot of reviews on them. If anyone has some output pics or whatever I'd love to see em! Thanks for the input folks!

 

So I run DD Elite Series yellow driving lights where the OEM ditch lights were. The DD's are IMO fantastic, high output, SAE certified, wide pattern, and great in inclement weather. Highly recommended.

I also run a KC C 30" dual mode (white spot & spread) lightbar at the bottom of the grill area (2020 TRD OR). On my prior truck I installed incandescent white type KC spots mounted to an ARB bar on the front. I found the old KC's much more effective at lighting up the road in front of me versus the new light bar. Perhaps because they were spots and I could aim them individually to exactly where I wanted them.

I would go white Gravities, yellow fogs or ditch lights.

I find the light bar spreads the pattern all over the place, it's much less focused and overall just OK for night offloading. So much so I'm contemplating pulling the light bar and going with the Gravitys.

Best of luck

 

Still Lovin’ my G-4’s

 

Hey thanks for the input! I thought about throwing some dds in where the turnsignals go but I kinda like how it looks now. That being said I think I might go with the wide 40 beam and get some amber covers for the rain or snow and get some spots/floods for the roof to throw down the road. Thanks for the input!

 

2001 Tacoma SR5 3.4L 4WD Auto 452,000 miles still going strong and lighting up the trails.

 

I've been using KC lights for decades.



Nothing fancy. I live in the boonies and I use these all the time.

 

3 FE3 on the bumper, 2 combo, 1 spot, fogs are FE dual mode with yellow lens. All the light I could ever need.

 

I just got a pair of Gravity Titans as part of a trade for some other lights I wasn't using, does anybody have an idea of how to mount them on my front bumper? I still have the stock bumper, and I like the revtek lightbar mount and other similar designs, but everything seems to be discontinued. Does anybody have any ideas?

They will be added to compliment my G4 amber fogs and my Flex Era 3 combos on my ditch lights for some further punch. TIA!

 

After lots of consideration, I found an NFAB lightbar mount on FB marketplace a state over and got thr guy to ship it to me. Brand new! Got my Titans mounted up, these things are legit!
