i love my KC daylighters, get some weird looks going through the gate every mornin when they see the covers behind the grill

 

Man those look great.. I finally bit the bullet and just ordered mine off ebay.. I couldnt find them in any walmarts up here for some reason.. How many of you guys drive with them on?

 

check your local laws, most states they are illegal to drive on a public road with them on. and some even require that there is a cover on them when not in use

 

Here are some more pictures to show you more about how I ran my wires and all. Hope they help.

Relay power wire (you can just see the red wire on the left):


Relay ground:


Relay to switch:


Where I mounted the relay:


How the lights are grounded:


Everything else is pretty much under the dash and would require me to take it back apart. But I think you can probably figure that part our prettily easily anyway.

As far as where I ran the wires in the engine compartment, they are all behind the battery and fuse/relay box and then down the side by the driver side headlight and over to the lights themselves. I cut off a lot of extra wire from the relay. They give you plenty to run it just about any direction you would want to.

 

I remember looking into the legality up here when I first heard about the guys putting them behind the grille. I cant remember exactly what it said but Its legal as long as you keep the 55 watt bulbs in cause they are classified as driving lights that way. I dunno what you guys have down there though..

 

lol i had to drive onto the marine base here for a polar plunge event this weekend. the sentry at the gate actually asked me what the lights in my grill were for. i was thinking is this guy serious?! i told him they were fog lights and he just said "oh ok" and waved me through the gate. i thought about being a smart *** but the M-16 across his chest made me think otherwise!! lol

 

Looks good man. question what is the difference between hella 500 and the 500FF ?? i like that look mounted behind grille.

 

free form(500ff) is a wider beam and just 500 is more of a pencil beam from what i recall

 

That is correct. They look different too because of the different function. Here are a couple of links to the lights on Amazon so you can see the difference. I WOULD NOT BUY THEM FROM AMAZON. You can find them cheaper elsewhere, like ebay where a lot of guys here have gotten them.
