thanks everyone for the orders! The reverse light kits, sporstmen and pro fog kits are shipping now!

We had a crazy amount of orders for unlimited kits and unfortunately used up our entire inventory of squadron racer circuit boards.
We are rushing to get the circuit boards populated and the unlimited kits are expected to be shipping 3/20/17.

The 30" s8 led light bar kit is currently back ordered (same with all s8 light bars) we received a crazy amount of orders and ran out of our master circuit boards.
Some of our pre-orders have and will be shipping with the 30" s8. I will be posting up asap with an eta on our s8 led light bars.


Thank you everyone for your patience! We are working hard to get everyone their orders asap. If you have any questions please email [email protected], post up, or pm us here.

Bailey,

Have you done a rock light kit yet....or is that next on the list. Not sure how bright your new rock lights are compared to others on the market..also I am thinking maybe just a couple of S2 sports under truck angled out might work better.

I installed mine as well.

I found the wire harnesses to not be helpful, so I ran all my own and bundled them into a harness. I used 3 different switches as well. I got them aimed. They make a lot of light but with them aimed down I am able to drive it at night on the road and so far I've not been flashed and I don't think I am causing anyone any issues.

I am using all the pro model lights. I have them aimed probably 30 degrees down. I'm using them for on road driving. It's not how they'd be aimed for off road driving... but even aimed down the improvement over stock is profound.

We aren't planning on offering a Rock Light Kit for these trucks or universal applications. At this time the only option is to purchase the lights individually and wire them up per the application. Sorry about that! The S2 Sports would also work great but we've found the standard Rock Lights are fine for undercar lighting.

Thanks!

Thanks for posting up. What didn't you like about the included wiring?
We designed this to be a pain free installation and any info to help improve the product would be appreciated. :biggrin:

Harness quality is superb. However... I did not find it to be particularly compatible with the proper lengths.

If you want to make it pain free, each harness should be labeled clearly with step by step photo annotated instructions for both the driver and passenger side. This way your vision of how the harnesses should be run for the cut lengths is clearly conveyed. I found them to not be the lengths I needed, but I ran them "my way" which may not have been "your way".
It wasn't a big deal and I decided to use 3 switches instead of 2 anyway. It added a couple of hours to the install though.

Let me be clear though. The quality of the lights are outstanding and the mounting bracket is perfect. I would buy them again and would highly recommend them. So this is not a dig at the product.

We will be having one of the Prototype trucks in soon. I will make sure to get detailed photos and extra notes for how everything is wired.
This will help make it easier to install and avoid any confusion for future customers.

Thanks for posting up! We definitely don't see it as bashing. Feedback is always welcome.
