i took my kc slim light a part to replace the bulb and the 4 metal rods came out and i cant figure out how to put them back in to keep the light in place i dont no if theres a diagram or if someone that has replaced there bulb could take a picture of were the rods go.

 

4 metal rods?

My KC's only have 1 'rod' and it kinda acts like a spring and clips into a retainer to keep the bulb in place.

 

no thats the thing that keeps the bulb in im talking about the rods that keep bulb housing tight against the bezel

 

Take the back off of the other and look at it. I took one apart last week and they are a pita to put back together. Make sure that you line up the lens so that it will be in the right position in relation to the screw hole. I took a set that I've had for 7-8 years and rebuilt them. KCs website has all the gaskets, wiring, bulbs and even the bezels to make them new again.

 

I had the exact same shit happen to me! Four metal rods rolling down my hood. I stuffed 'em back in the best I could but, I'm sure i didn't do it right . I can't get the lens assembly to fit tight like it was. ???? Kind of a stupid design.

 

ya its a horrible design im tryin to rig somthing up that i keeps them from coming out

 

The Slim Lights have 4 small spring-like tensioners in them.

 

Did you get it back together? It is pretty simple and holds the reflector in well if they are in correct. The ends slip under a groove in the outer housing in various locations and kind of form a square against the reflector.
You do need to rotate it so the one screw hole lines up for housing.

 

ill try that and let you know how it works out thanks
