Have to admit, this took more time than I was expecting. I got the brackets from Quadratec that mount on the grill's mounting bar in front of the radiator. Also installed the factory aux switches (that was the hard part!) I reprogrammed the DRLs to be my blinkers so everything lights up amber. Planning on another set of KCs for my a-pillars, but not sure which size to get yet. The light mounting bracket is a great solution to get some lights on the front without having to switch the bumper, as that was a bit too expensive for now. What do y'all think?

I’ve absolutely loved mine. Enjoy. I use the small amber lights as marker lights that are almost always on. The clear lense covers are great for protection. I also have the amber covers for road use, which I really like. Way less glare with reflective road signs. Obviously I don’t ever use them if any other cars are on the road.

Nice! I plan to get the same brackets and do something similar but with KC 6" lights. Getting my aux switches installed tomorrow :rock: . (worked them into the purchase)

Having the switches installed by the dealer is a great idea! Took me the better part of a Saturday and 12 pack. Needless to say, I was shocked when everything worked! (not literally)

I added a pair of Gravity LED Pro 6's to the bull bar on my bumper and a couple of 6" Apollo Pros on the cowl. Throws out a lot of light in conjunction with the LED lights that came with my Rubicon.

I wish I had the factory LEDs... I swapped my glow worms for some LED bulbs all around and it helped a lot, but I'm sure it's nowhere near as bright.

Curious. Are there amber ā€œbacklightsā€ in the flex’s? If so how do you control them via the aux switches if there is ā€œonā€ and ā€œoffā€ at the switch?

Yes. They’re nice. KC gives you a three way switch so either can be on, or off. I didn’t use their harness. I have the ambers on aux 4 and the mains on aux 1.

Awesome, thanks! Will be purchasing these as my next mod!

The ambers light up s diamond shaped KC logo. It’s a nice touch. I also added the red rings to match the Jeep lettering. I set aux 4 to remember the last setting, so unless I turn them off, they’re on every time I start it.

Almost a year later and I got my second set of KC's. Flex Era 1s mounted on the cowl. The halo amber backlight isn't quite as bright as I was hoping for, but it seems to change intensity depending on what angle you catch them. I tied the backlights into the same switch as the 4's backlights so they all come on together. Looks pretty cool at night!

Great idea. I love my fours on the bumper. The ones are a very nice touch. I’d love to see a night time picture with the ambers.

Here’s a couple. Kinda hard to take pictures of lights, I’m realizing…
