Default Kc Lights Winshield Install

Just finished the Install, works great and I will set the beam angle tonight at dark. I got the Warrior Brackets from "Trailmaster"..... I'm very impressed the look it gives the Winshield.
Drilled the correct size hole in dash and mounted the switch, On/Off Switch looks Factory....

I removed the Driver side panel and did all my wire hookup to the Switch through that access.

A few of them mounted & working great(very Powerfull Beams) Turned on.

Very nice looking the only suggestion I'd make is to wire loom the wiring coming from the back of the lights into the wiper cowl. It'll give it a cleaner install look.

I'm assuming with these lights you cannot fold the windshield down, correct?

Looks good Nam. I would also suggest covering the wires with a loom of some sort not only for the looks, but to help protect the wires.

Is that your nicely painted Ford in the background?

No, that Ford truck is the neighbor's from down the street.....someone slashed a four tires about an 8" opening on Friday night .....he's pi$$ed and them came up painted all over it(For Sale, Thanks Neighbor's, Buy As Is, etc, etc. This is from a long term Parking Issue with all the people on my nice quaint street.: He has about 6 vehicles and they park in front of everybodies house(Not Mine, Never Have, They All leave Me Be) >>>>> just waiting for the police with some kind of removal issued to him rotflmao1:
No! you can not fold windshield down with these mounted.....

Honestly Speaking,..I probably could of made these, but for $39 is wasn't worth it...it would be a pretty basic project. Your half doors oughta be awesome looking, hope to see them in a future picture...

So how much of your field of vision does it block now? How long did it take to get used to them blocking that view?

Thanks.

Very little left & right field of view blocked,...just come from a normal every Sunday "JK" ride and totally used to them now. Wife even got used to them,...she would definitely be out-spoken about her view if they bothered her.
