KC Cyclone Cargo Area Lighting Install

[Its Brawnco]

I wasn't very impressed with the lighting in the Bronco cargo area. Especially if you're camping/tailgating and doing something at the rear of the vehicle. I saw ads for KC's Cyclone scene/rock lights and after a little bit of research, decided to order 2. A single light costs $30.99 and I ordered the 2 Light Add-on Kit (Link) and a couple different lenses (red and diffused white). I went with the add-on kit because I wanted 2 lights and it came with perfect wires to connect them to the Bronco's pre-run upfitter wires. I didn't need/want the full KC wiring harness that would've included a switch and fuse. I mounted one light to the accessory ready indentation underneath the roll bar and mounted the other on the bottom of the rear window. I tucked the rear window light's wiring in with the existing wires and secured the roll bar's wiring with some double sided velcro. I'm thrilled with how the velcro secured the wire; it's a cheap/easy solution that can be moved/re-routed and looks very clean. I wired the positive side of both lights together with the pre-run aux wire in the passenger side rear cargo panel with a twist on wire connector and connected both grounds to one of several ground points located near the pre-run aux wire. Connected everything up through the glove box and to Aux Switch 6. Very pleased with the results and the KC Cyclones.

600 lumens each. This was the comparison review that sold me on the cyclones: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-led-rock-light-showdown.612253/. They compare the 3 major light companies: Rigid, KC, and Baja Designs

I have 16 of them installed for various stuff.

No need for the harness. They are super easy to wire.

They're awesome little lights, super versatile. I thought about getting a third and attaching it to a strip of Velcro tape so that I can move it around on the inside roof
