Very Subtle... I dig it.
Oh yeah, still a great Jeep and one that's a ton of fun to drive.
Thanks! Really happy with all the KC stuff I've been buying. Just wish more of it were available.
KC has really upped their game for sure. Now, if they can only get shit in stockGreat looking lights! I like the amber glow as well. KC has been coming out with some awesome options lately and ones that are different from the ordinary light bars you see everywhere. Definitely wanting to get a few sets!
Oh yeah, you can wire the ambers to any switch you want. As mentioned, I'm using 2 different switches on my Switch Pros to make them work and I actually thought about wiring the ambers to the DRL's but didn't know if I really wanted to do that being that they do come with covers and there are benefits to having them on.
Thanks!
I think what works about them is their small size. On the A-pillars, they're barely noticeable and that's a good thing.
Yup, you assume correctly. As you can see, this light was pointing down a bit.

I had a small lightbar above my winch on my JK that had a “glow” backlight feature. I wired it to work with my rock lights. I might go that direction again with something like these KC.....if I can ever get build started.

Solid write up! Those look sharp. I like the simplicity of your lighting. As im mesring the end of my build the one thing I have not done is add lighting. Im seeing some ideas here. Well done!Here are a few shots of what everything looks like installed and with red bezels.
Here you can see how the KC A-Pillar light mounts clear the Rugged Ridge AmFib snorkel with the lower cowl intake installed.
Here are a few outside shots that show off the amber back glow.
Obviously, I got the combo beam lenses with my lights and here's what it looks like on.
I would probably install an add-a-circuit in the fuse box and connect it to it. Something like a cig lighter or something that comes on with the ignition. Watch my Switch Mount video and I show the one that'll work.IF one wanted to wire the back light "glow" into the DRL's, would I go to the fuse box under the hood and tap in, or find the switched wire for the DRL's?
I hate wiring, am not good at, and sometimes even burn things up
Awesome! I'm hoping to get a set of the 4's for my Gladiator bumper too

Still waiting for SwitchPros to help us diesel goons out. I may have to resort to the factory switches and WARN aux switches on my winch.

Does switch pros not have a install kit for the diesel?
You can install the SwitchPros on a diesel. You just have to install the power module on the driver side of the engine compartment. It's the same thing you'd need to do with a dual battery setup.

For those on the fence. Amazon has 5 pairs in stock right now. Earlier they were out of stock and I just checked back and placed an order.
Very cool that you were able to order a set. I found it to be hit and miss as well.
