They can mount directly if you change the bolt hardware -then you give up the lock no turn bolt- I recommend using a bracket keeping the lock no turn bolt .
Hey there! Finally installed my lights using Body Guard mounts. I didn't think the Body Guard solution would be my ideal, but I think I like them overall and the look. I definitely like the multiple mounting point options, I went with the outside option on each side and slid them to the inside most point. I used 1/16" neoprene fender washers (about 1.5" inch wide) under the mounting bracket so nice soft mount to plastic cowl part. I like the KC Flex Era 4s overall, but the wiring connection attached to each light is a little shorter than you would like as you can't unplug at light housing and then is in a difficult connection place under the hood at upper most edge.
Looks awesome! let us know what the dealer says about aux setup.
I just received my Flex Era 4 lights today and I really like this mount option. Quick question, did the antenna get in the way? I see you have yours removed. Thanks.
on my set up i did remove the antenna to place lights where i wanted just personal preference . you do not have to remove antenna at all there is plenty of mounting options with mount flip it or have right or left positions that place the light in different locations and also the turn bracket have the option mounting light close to window or further away on hood - really countless ways you can mount it -play around and find what works for you.
you cut the kc harness only use the power and ground to body/battery only to your uppfiitter switches also no amber light because the ford witches only 2 pin not 3
Great, thanks for your response
I visited with KC and they indicated that you would connect red wire lead (primary light) to one AUX switch, and white wire lead (amber backlight) to a second AUX switch to use both, with black wire lead to ground, I did this and neither light worked, I added back the battery connection with in line fuses and switch relay and all worked fine, but I have my KC switch under my hood, I used a multimeter to see if I had current to the powered AUX switch wire leads and could not get a reading, I will have my dealer trouble shoot this on January 11, first date they could schedule me
absolutely can wire that way . may i ask , with car running and you toggle upfitter switches on and off do the switches turn amber ? if so your ok- if not visit dealer. to have power to switches car must be in accessory on or car running position , just trying to be helpful a lot have not realized this . Best of luck hope its a simple fix.
appreciate the reply! yes, AUX switches did turn amber when switched from off to on, but the lights didn't illuminate, really odd, I definitely have the correct wires as they are very easy to identify, wonder if a fuse might be bad? I tried both accessory on and with vehicle running and same result. I'll keep you guys posted as I discover solution.
Looks great, where did you hide the wires?
