KC HiLites Universal Wire Holder
Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference to an overland build, and to this end, cue the universal wire holder from KC HiLites. The latest offering builds on the success of its predecessor but has been redesigned to deliver a stronger hold, larger channel (fits modern light harnesses up to 1/2-inch in diameter), and a cleaner OEM finish. Its patent-pending dual-retention system uses KClip mechanical locks, with 3M VHB tape to bond the hard plastic cable anchor clip to the surface, eliminating adhesive failure and peeling. Once in place, the rubber strip mechanically engages with the KClip for a secure fitment, while inside, a precision interlocking groove contains/protects your wiring.
