I've got 4 KC slimlines on the front of the truck, driving and long range.  Have to say they are almost too bright (100W and 130W!).  I wouldn't have anything else, well made totally rebuildable with all parts available and cool lookin to boot.

Outback automotive are the place to go in the UK for um. :wink:

Bought mine from Matt Savage (http://www.mattsavage.com/acatalog/kc.html)
Only problem I have had is with water getting into 'em but that was after it had been parked up to its bonnet in a lake for 40mins having hyraulic'd the motor   :oops:
Fine now they've been dried out and resealed, bar a little condensation
Rather fancy a bash at the 150W sealed units tho'...

Good choice - KC daylighters are ace.  :lol:

I got a second hand set about 15 years ago and they are still going strong.

I'll take your highlighters and raise you a pair of Cibie Super Oscars.

Now they turn night into day!

MMmmmm Cibies... just try getting spares for them!

Love Cibies to bits, but would buy KCs if buying new.

KC are great but you can also buy 130/90 bulbs for your headlights, can be had from some rally type shops.  If you fit them you will need a relay in the circut.

That's what I've got on mine. Nice bit of kit too. Daylighters is an apt name for them.

They ARE BRIGHT :shock:
