Meet the New KC HiLites Windshield Wire Hider
Aftermarket lighting systems require thicker wires, which may not jive with your build aesthetic. Designed to hide obvious wires and protect them from the elements, KC HiLites’ KClip system uses mechanical locks with 3M and VHB tape bonding to prevent adhesive failure and peeling from heat, corrugated roads, snow, and more. Each clip also doubles as a standalone zip tie or cable anchor for flexible routing through engine bays, racks, or body panels. The 1/2-inch channel easily handles thicker or multiple wires used with most off-road accessory lights, making installation easy.
