Windshield lights - Show me what you got
Do you have to use a Lightforce harness or can you run your own wiring/relay? Thanks.

They do make thier own harness, but it's like $60. Here's what I did.
Daystar Lower Dash from 4wd = $20
Daystar Rocker Switch from 4wd = $10
40 amp relay harness from O'Reilly = $12
Misc extra wire = Free.
I used a pre-made kit from O'Reilly. It included a 40 amp inline fuse (replaced with a 30), the wiring, a 40 amp relay, and a rocker switch. I ditched thier switch and used my Daystar instead. I know it doesn't sound much cheaper my route, but the bulk of the expense was the Daystar panel which you only need to buy one of and now I have room for 3 more switches (another set of lights, OBA, and TBD).
I replaced the plastic screw holding the locker and swaybar relays with a metal nut and bolt and attached the light relay there. I also used that as my ground point. You can read more about it in my build thread on my sig.

Does this switch come standard with the KC wiring package? I just ordered a set of the IPF lights
and do not like the switch tht came with it. I'm in the process of looking for another option and
really like this switch. I was just wondering if it was something that could be found at radio shack?

The rack and lights look awesome! It looks like you wired up some reverse lights for the back of the rack too...
We have light tabs that mount to the front of the roof rack for additional light mounts. Let me know if you'd like to see some pics.
