    A handful of individuals still have not replied to my email. Today is the last day or you'll be getting ALL RED lights!

    There's only a few holdouts so it's not too bad...

    The holes are internally threaded for M6. 5 bolts should have been included

    Yeah, I checked the box three times; no bolts!
    No worries though, I'll just pick some up from the hardware store.

    Received my KC4 without any hardware. found plugs at Lowes, I'll look for the M6, are they 1/2"? Weather stripping ordered a MOFORKIT 3rd Third Brake Light Seal Gasket for 1995 to 2016 (2d Gen and 3d Gen ext cab), otherwise what suggestion for sourcing gasket material?

    also noted in Products Discussed on bottom of page link for Hillman Plugs is for 7/8", correct product numbers are Lowes 139472, Hillman #881287 https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-2-Pack-0-75-in-Black-Plastic-Hole-Plug/3109075

    @MESO Just got the BD4cam (thanks). On fitting the camera, it's obvious you need to take the metal clip off the camera for fitment, but it's a little loose once removed. I'm going to use silicone gasket for the whole fixture (type that doesn't Harden), but seems that might not be a good option for the camera considering the fit. Do you recommend a silicone sealer for the camera? (ie a silicone that does Harden into something like a glue)

    For anyone that's looking, post #2155, @cruiserhead has a really good walkthrough guide for installing and wiring the third brake light.

    Regarding the latest version of Meso plugz, anyone know if there's some type of connector available for the small end? It measures approx 0.5" x 0.2".

    Reference pic below. Thanks

    I would just cut the ends off and solder directly to your brake lights.

    Are the housings for the baja design lights supposed to be drilled and threaded to fit the bolts that come with the lights?

    Great idea @Drifter001, I was going to cut mine off. I’d be in for locating the mating connector

    The reds are the 2 middles(I can see the little red diode inside) I bet the yellows are tied to cab light or external switch.

    Yup! Unfortunately, the "amber" BD lights are more like a yellow fog light. Kinda an odd color when on.
