My baja has really weak LED lights for rear blinkers. Just an older cheap light, the power is fine. Has anyone used KC Rock Lights as blinkers?

They look like they'd be pretty good. https://www.kchilites.com/cyclone-v2-addon-kit-amber.html?attr_pim_psize=6126

KC has a reputation for making good off road lights. Probably a fine choice.

Well they arrived and since it is jeep week in Moab I figured I might as well make myself more noticeable. These things are bright! I love them so far.

I swapped out the surface mounts for flush mounts for a cleaner look. The only tricky thing was trying to center the hole saw. I put a piece of plywood behind the hole, used a hole saw (in reverse) and it was all good.
