one of my KC off road lights stoped working..
I installed a set of window mounted kc long range lights, they worked great for a couple years.
just the other night i hit the switch and i noticed the drivers side light delayed when the other one went on, then last night it would not turn on at all
thinking it is a wiring issue, but find it hard to believe I buttoned the wiring up tight, with it well mounted and water proofed all the way thru.
so I am no car wiring expert that was my first attempt at wiring into a car anything.
So does anyone have any ideas as to how to figure this out and get it working again, I believe it is not the bulb as like i said the other night it delayed a little when i turned it on, and last night stopped working all together
any help would be great..
even better any wiring experts in Vancouver?? hit me up, I will provide beer and bbq

I'd try switching the lights and see if it still happens on the other side. If it's the light, get in contact with KC. I think there is a 23 year warrantee on their lights.

just call em
Mine did this as well after about a year of being hooked up, I checked all connections, checked by switching the lights to opposite sides. After realizing that it was indeed the light itself...I called a KC rep and they sent me a new bulb (bulb,wire,connector) no questions asked! easiest call I've ever made. Just gotta take your housing apart and put in the new bulb harness.

It could also be a burnt wire. If the wire isn't hooked up to the light correctly but is to the switch and or a power source, the wire will essentially burn right in front of you
