Looks great! I can send you something on how to wire in a kill relay for auto shut off.
So, I ended up disconnecting the white wire from the switch and wiring the backlights direct to the rear power outlet fuse. Now they come on with the ignition and I don't have to worry about leaving them on. Not a perfect solution, but one I was comfortable doing, reversible, and it's better than never using them for fear of forgetting.
These lights really do look great!

Post number two here I go! Put some Flex Era 4’s on today. My JL has the factory aux switches so they were a walk in the park to install! Just have to get them out at night for a proper aiming. Though how does one aim “light EVERYWHERE!” 😏

Finally got around to installing my Christmas gift. KC LED Slim Lights with amber filter. I wonder why KC doesn't make filters that convert the light beam to a more flood or driving pattern like other manufacturers do? Regardless, these work great and are extremely bright.

Looks great! These lights aren't a super tight spot, it has a lot of extra fill light, so more universal. I'll send the feed back to our engineers though. Lets see what they can come up with. The feedback is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Our new to us 2019 JLUR came with these Flex lights already on board. I'm digging the pairs at the corners. Very bright, going to angle them out a bit so don't get as much glare off the hood.

10" light bar isn't as bright as I had expected it to be. In fact its hard to tell it is even on compared to the factory LED headlights. It too has the clear one piece cover on it I just had it off cleaning it up a bit for this pic.

I know these are older lights and there is a new gen version already out for the singles, with a new light bar coming soon. Was wondering if could still get replacement bezels and maybe amber lenses for these? I have tried several google searches and not really finding much

The only newer 10" bar I saw on their site was the C-series, which is still only 5,400 lumen (the 10" FLEX is 4,875). A pair of their larger FLEX ERA 4 (~5" each) put out 7,912 each.

If you want to stick with a 10" bar, Rigid makes their double-stack E-series Pro that pushes out over 19,000 lumen (2,285 lux vs 680 lux of the KC 10" C-series) 😲

Looks great. Congrats on the new jeep. Unfortunately both of those products are discontinued.

The double and 10" actually use the same Flex light, just a different bracket in the rear to connect them together. The 10" should be brighter than the double, its 5 singles vs 2. There could be something wrong with the 10" if it isn't very bright.
You can call our CX Team at +1 (888) 689-5955 to see what they think about the bar.

We have new versions of these lights coming out later this year. The entire Flex line is being replaced with the Flex Era line. Currently with the FE1 , FE3, FE3 SAE and the FE4.

Congrats! Is there a way to add your light at to an ARS rock lander rack?

LOL - does this count? 1987 Comanche, photo from 1988.
I had lights up front as well, haven't found the pics yet.
If I was combining at night and something broke, I could light up the front of the combine and work on it without trouble.

Thanks! I've never seen this rack before. I just looked it up. They have an option to add a light pod bracket. We also have tube clamps that can go on the rack.
