Amber DRLs + KC HiLites!

[Hofstetm]

Installed the Signature Lux Amber DRLs to match my KC Hilites ditch/lightbar on the TrailRax roof rack. Results are incredible. Everything wired up to the switches in the cabin. One switch for amber, one switch for full lights. Tested the KCs in the back country of upper Ontario, CA, and they were extremely bright and had great reach. Might have to take a video of modifications on the rig thus far. 10/10 would recommend DRLs, KCs and TrailRax rack. More to come.

Very nice! Looks like everything came out great! Did you do the wiring yourself? Thats the department I have challenges on.

Sweet. What length is that camper and the model? How does the RR feel when towing it?

I did! It’s pretty simple when you take the time. I had extra cable, heat activated solder butt connectors, heat shrink of various sizes and wiring harness tape to clean it all up. Helps to have diagrams (on this site somewhere) to help with where things are located, too. I also have an under-hood air compressor for my rear airbags for towing, all activated by the switches too.

That’s a GeoPro 20BHS, she’s a 20ft rig but more closer to 22/23 with the tongue. Tows well! Family and I have been about a dozen times this year already after purchasing in March, and it’s great. You can absolutely feel it back there but in the rolling hills of the Midwest the RR doesn’t struggle at all. I do have the Ford Performance tune for a few extra ponies and rear airbags to help level things out, both help considerably. I will say, while “tow mode” does downshift early to help engine brake the rig when towing to slow down, new pads/fluid - and worse case new calipers/rotors - would help stopping a bit better, IMO.

I hate you only because I want one that camper now. Haha.

Up the drivers side A pillar and using the KC Universal Wire Hider. From inside the truck you cannot see it and even from the outside it blends well. The VHB which came with the kit from KC is pretty robust and has lasted through the midwest season changes perfectly (including snow/sleet/hail), with zero issues.
