I really like my yellow vinyl KC covers on my off road lights, but there have been a few times I would have liked to turn them on but couldn't because of the covers. So time to fix that...
Well I found the metal mesh KC stone protection covers (7203) on Amazon for $20.64 a pair.

I really don't care for the look of these, but they are more functional than the plastic KC covers, and certainly more functional than the vinyl covers I have now.

I tried ordering 2 pairs, buzz! They only had one pair available. Amazon is the cheapest I could find, plus it was free shipping.
I tried again early this morning and changed my order to the 7213, the plastic "yellow" stone covers...

Then it dawned on me that I already have yellow covers, and if I wanted to I could put those on and store the plastic covers. So I ordered the black ones (7210)

They are more expensive than the metal mesh ones, ($11.95 each), which confuses me. So soon I'll be able to turn my off road lights on any time which was the point of this anyway.
I thought about just driving around with the covers off, but I really don't want to find a cracked daylighter, of course that can still happen with the stone covers, but it's a little less likely.
I'll probably order some replacement parts soon just to have on hand when a lens gets cracked, or a bulb burns out.
Now I had a particularly evil thought the other day. Before when I had the factory fog lights in the bumper I could pull back on the turn signal indicator and this would allow me to flash the highbeams. Doing this would turn OFF the factory fog lights momentarily. I was thinking how cool it would be to hook up the off road lights to that fog light circuit. But instead of turning off the off road lights it would turn them ON!
Now that would be a good attention getter!
Add a nice loud air horn and I'd be ready for my daily commute!
I'd love to have about a 500 watt PA system with some "canned" messages like...
"PUT THE CELL PHONE DOWN AND DRIVE!" :smiley-laughing021:
