I have seen the kc headlights and person an they look like a direct copy of the trucklites in my opinion. From 5 feet away it is tough to tell them apart . I will stick with the trucklites

Well either way competition is good for the consumer. Hopefully we see some price cuts on both this holiday season.

I agree. I don't think you will see much of a price reduction everybody is selling them with very little make up as it is

Another Truck-Lite owner here, and I highly recommend.

I do agree the light pattern could be better, but it's something I'm used to now.

- Both low and high beams are very bright.
- And they have good customer service.
- They are much cheaper than the JW's and much easier to install ( plug and play ) than a custom set of HID's.
- They look great. Because the center of the light is black, it reflects on the housing and makes the lights look tinted.

And I'm intrigued by these KC's. The reflector has a different pattern so I wonder what the beam looks like...hmmmm...

Not a fan of the logo in the front like that though.

Freightliner and Mercedes are using trucklite in new models. Thats a plus into the kind of quality trucklite has to offer.

Anybody see this yet? Looks like Jeep is going to start offering truck-lite style headlights in future JK models.

Very cool. Trucklite is the choice of the military too and OEM manufacturers.

I think I saw that the TLs have a 3 year warranty. If/when one blows.... are there replacement bulbs, or is it $250 for a new light?
