Sweet ty! No special box needed to upgrade to KC LEDs right? Watched your video and there is some sort of intermediate part between plugs. Maybe it’s built in now? Thanks for your help, if there is a way I can order and you get a kick back let me know.

The KC LED Fogs have an adaptor to go from their light to the factory harness. The KC LED Headlights comes with the bracket needed to mount it. If you have the LED package, you use the provided adaptor, if you have the halogen package, you use the provided canbus decoder adaptor. You can see it in my KC install videos. Originally the KC headlights only worked with the LED package, as their Gladiator had the LED package. I helped with their canbus testing since my Jeep had the halogen package. We went through a couple of sets until we got a good one that didn't have issues getting wet or bouncing around from off-roading. It is solid state vs mechanical. Now the KC Headlights come with both adaptors, one for LED package and one for Halogen package.Are you talking about the headlights? If you are, and have regular halogen headlights on your Jeep, you will need a pair of canbus decoders.
On the KC website, it only mentions them working with Wranglers that have the LED package. I would call them to make sure you get the correct stuff before ordering and if they still ship with the decoders.
I learned this the hard way, but the OP's video really helped. I ended up buying some decoders from Amazon and spicing in the Jeep proprietary connector. The lights work really well so far.
The rep from KC was very helpful, but the place I bought the lights from haven't been so far. I think they're having a hard time sourcing the decoders or don't know what to get.
I took a chance and found some decoders on Amazon identical to the ones used in Jeep Generation's video. I only had to modify one end to make it work. I kind of wonder, if that's all they're doing, but who knows.
That's who I ordered from. Hopefully it will work out for you. They have two sets that are about one cent different in price, and both are supposed to be for the JL wrangler. It could be that I just chose the wrong one, but I wish they would differentiate between the two in their description.Yup talking the headlights.

I sure wish I had seen this thread, before I bought mine. I could have used your code, and got the right stuff directly from KC. So far the ones I have are working.The KC LED Fogs have an adaptor to go from their light to the factory harness. The KC LED Headlights comes with the bracket needed to mount it.

I have a 10% off discount code that is in my signature (KCJEEPGEN) that works with most item on their site. There are a few restrictions and doesn't work during holiday promotions. Can't double dip. Always worth a try at checkout though. I don't get a kick back from it, just there to help out.
Got a email back from you guys, that said end of March now.If its been 30 days you have to be getting close if you would like to get a ETA email [email protected] and we can call KC and find out for you.
I have found KC to be very responsive whenever I contact them via their website. Just click on HELP at the top of their page, then click on CONTACT US. A message form comes up that allows you to message them. I have used that method perhaps a half dozen times the last few months and they have always responded via email within a day or two at the most. Once they respond via email, I have had email conversations with them where they respond within a matter of hours each time. You might give that a try, and hopefully you will have the great results that I have had.Would really like to buy KC but even their website shows no email/phone/contact info..
I just got a email with tracking that my KC light bar will be here in 2 days. I will display pics once these lights are here. Finally something is looking up. ThanksGot a email back from you guys, that said end of March now.
Did your lights come with the white lettering?Last evening I installed the KC Flex ERA 4 lights on the cowl mounts. The install was easy. I wired them to two of my factory aux switches, one for the amber back lights and one for the main lights. Everything works great! White letter KC decals coming soon to match the Flex 4 covers to the light bar covers.
