    What gauge wire do you recommend for running the amber lights all the way up to the front of the cab to switch? And what gauge wire for the jumpers for the brake light?

    I just used 18 TXL everywhere but it’s probably overkill for everything.

    That listing has a bunch of different lengths. Which one did you use?

    I hope they do because I just bought the kc5 housing and 5 V2s. @MESO will this housing work with the new V2s cyclones?

    I just tried looks like the new V2s will work but I have to use the KC black rubber piece that hides the screw. Also going to need slightly smaller washers. Everything else should be good. I would just have to pay extra attention with the RTV silicone in the open areas as the diameter isn’t as smooth as the v1 @MESO

    Looks like the V2s will work. Will give an update when it’s finally installed. Did a dry fit today. All looks well @MESO

    If you screw out the bolts will the nuts fall off on the other side?
