Did you cut off the connectors that came on the KCs and add your own butt connectors or did you use the connectors that came on the KCs? TIA!
When I did them on my tj I used everything that came with the kit

It's cool how they are now available for the 2012. I just wasn't crazy about the price. I ended up going the RR A Pillar ones instead. Question, what's with all the other hardware? How would you get the fat cable through the firewall and into the engine compartment.


Ps - I think it's funny how the product name is ****** out in the emails.

Hey guys. Finally got my jeep back last Wednesday. She is running like a champ. Missed her so much cause I was driving around a lil jeep compass. It was nice but not my Jk. Overall it took 2 weeks with parts and everything. Just hope it keeps running well

yeah it was a bit pricey you're right. Do you have a pic of the way you ran the wire from the light under the vent cover?

Just an FYI on the KC kits.. I've never done an **** so I don't know if you retain the stock switches for accessories or if the **** supplies new switches.. But I can't count how many times I have read that the the switch supplied with the KC light kits was defective.. Guys have wired them up and then scratched their heads trying to figure out why the lights don't work.. Replacing the switch fixes the problem. So, if you have any issues, start with the switch!

I have a set of barely used stock wheels and an unused spare for sale. They are P255/70R Bridgestone Dueler A/T's and had under 2500 miles on them before I took them off my Jeep. PM me if you are interested. Thanks.

Same thing happened to me with my Hella's! I had everything wired up correctly and I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't work. Did a bit of research on the forum and learned that the switch provided in the kit was horrid. Replaced the switch and wouldn't you know they worked fine.
