I got a set of the Trucklites a few months ago, and I've seen that the KC's have a slightly different beam pattern but very similar output. Definitely a huge improvement over the IPF conversions, and they're all waaay improved over stock.
It begs the question...with the KC's and TL's now only a couple hundred buck for a pair, why hasn't the OE market jumped on this kind of technology as an option? I wonder if we'll see an LED headlamp option in the 2016's.

Can someone please answer a question about these lights. I just installed these light tonight but they don't seem to fit very tight in the housing. Even with the ring tightened down they wiggle just a tiny bit. And also all the light seems to be concentrated to the right. Seems to be a dead spot on the drivers side. I can take a pic of the beam pattern if that will help. Thanks in advance.

Mine fit extremely well. Maybe you didn't get the little locators lined up right? There are three tabs on the light itself that sit in little buckets that center the light into the core support. If you've got those lined up right then I'm not sure what your issue is. As for the alignment, you may need the euro adjusters. I found that the up and down adjustment also does a slight left to right. Like a crescent moon shape. I had my drivers side light too high and it focused it above the passenger light. Once I brought it down my lights came into alignment nicely.

So to add to this thread a little more.... Out of curiosity, I bought the euro adjuster screws. I installed the one in the drivers side headlight first. ( I figured I'd do one at a time so I had a baseline to zero the alignment from) I ended up being able to adjust the light quite a bit to the left which gave an even better light pattern. So much better that I was able to adjust both lights down a little which reduced some of the cold spots in front of the jeep that I was complaining about before. I'm pretty happy now. I don't think I'll even bother installing the passenger side adjuster.

Hmmm... I've been thinking about aiming mine down too. Been burning some scalps in front of me at stop lights but I've never been flashed. I did the wall test and mine seem to be about 4" low at 25' but I'm not sure if that's enough for my lift.
