I haven't seen these on T3's site. Do you know where ?

Sorry, I should have checked before posting. His link to the lights no longer works.

Here is a thread discussing the lights Chris was selling. It appears he was buying from a German company as stated in the thread.

Reviving this very old thread, but just bought a westy with these installed. Both lights are pretty much completely burnt out and I have replacement KC lights with me. How did you get to replacing the lights? Thanks

Google "KC Cyclone LED" Part #1350 'Clear Lens'

I think the easiest way would be to cut them from the backside of the light housing. I ended up taking the lenses off both of mind and pride the lights out of the housing and in the process fog my lenses with the solvent that I use to dissolve the glue, not a good look.

Ok cool, thats what I was planning on doing. Is it plastic behind the lights? How would they stay in after replacing them?

Yes there is. You'll see that once you remove them from the van. There is plastic on the back side and the lights are glued into a recess (cup). You'll see what I mean.

I would recommend a sharp knife and leather gloves. Reseal it with sikoflex or silicone. Don't use solvents on the abs or polycarbonate.

Thanks guys! I will update how it all goes!

Ok so here is the back. Which spot should I cut? I am just confused on how it would be resealed if I were to just cut the plastic. I think if cut either place I will just sika flex it.

I would say #2 but Nico would say #1 on the front side and remove the glued on lenses.

If you choose no.2 I would be cutting that circle a bit bigger than you have it. Have a plan to put it back together though. Good luck!

I’d love a set of terrapodz if anyone has two they want to get rid of. Wiiling to buy them of course. 8)

Ended up taking the lenses off and going that way. Resealed them using liquid gasket, not the prettiest thing Ive ever seen but they look great to me!

NOS- Several hundred euros\ dollars.
TerraPodz- $200?

@Red Ryder- No, the Originals or the new TP, are only good at DRLs. (but, they look damn good doing it!)

@tsrhines- YES! Exactly as I meant!
