    Hi there Folks,
    I'm about to purchase set of KC Flex Era 3 for my ditch lights.
    I'm bit confused.. they are pretty expensive and I found 2 models of the same lights?
    What's the difference between 97127 and 97128?
    They look the same, specs are the same but the price difference is huge between 100 to a 150$, depends where You look, WHY?

    97127:

    Looks suspicious....not to mention,it says for a Wrangler.

    carid is no better, Op stop looking for the lowest price and try talking to a real human about what you want. Start with https://www.4wheelparts.com/b/hella/_/N-1z10kxr

    they sell a bunch of Hella stuff.

    Even Amazon sales KC Lights. You can buy KC's all over.
    In my opinion it says for Wrangler just because of the brackets that come in the set.
    You guys suggesting that those are fake?

    I'm suggesting Walmart uses it as a ploy to get you shopping their page.
    You can look up literally anything and find a Walmart sale ad for it.
    OP asked why they were pricedd different andvits because they are a kit for different vehicles.
    I have the kc pro6 gravity, which is a $1900 bar, but for the Tacoma which includes specific mounts and harness it cost more. For a wrangler it would cost differently again. This was my only meaning

    I will not be using their harness because I have switch panel installed in my truck.
    So I guess this is the same exact light but since is advertised for a specific truck thats why is priced lower?
    If all above is true and this set is original KC I guess its a great deal, correct?

    Why would I be paying 450-500 for Tacoma set if I can buy Wrangler set for 340 and wire it with my switch panel? Still those are same exact ligts.

    I always try to go to the source and get the right info.

    https://www.kchilites.com/

    Then see if I can find a good deal local first. Then elsewhere once I find local is 3 times anywhere online...

    My lights just arrived. For those who thought they are not legit or fake. They look pretty good to me. Super good quality. Shipping was fast thru UPS. Way to go Walmart.

    It's a combo beam patern. Smaller box has Wrangler brackets inside because this set was advertised as "for Wrangler". I will throw those brackets away or sell them, I already have brackets installed on my Taco, I'm using Diode Dynamics SS3 currently.
    Looks like I made a sweet deal by accident
