The KC HiLiTES FLEX ERA 3 Black Light Shield (part 5318) is an opaque polycarbonate hard cover made for KC's FLEX ERA 3 lights. The manufacturer describes the FLEX ERA family as compact off-road lighting, and this cover places a solid black face with a yellow KC logo over the lens. When the lights are parked or driven on public roads, the cover keeps the lens protected and hidden. The manufacturer says it helps with compliance under local and state laws that require off-road lights to be covered when they are not in use. A genuine KC cover is the safer buy here because it is engineered to the FLEX ERA 3 lens and bezel rather than a generic size.
The cover clips onto the front of the FLEX ERA 3 light, and the manufacturer lists it at roughly 3.63 x 3.44 x 0.294 inches. Each cover is sold individually, so a pair of pods needs two. Do not confuse it with the 10-inch FLEX ERA light bar cover, which is a separate SKU (5331) for light bars. If you are searching for a FLEX ERA 3 light shield, KC 5318 black cover, opaque off-road light cover, or road-legal pod light cover, this is the matching part. Confirm your light model before ordering, because the manufacturer lists the amber (5320) and clear (5319) shields as separate SKUs.
No. The manufacturer lists the 10-inch FLEX ERA LED light bar cover in black as a separate product (SKU 5331), sold in 10-inch segments. The 5318 cover is designed for FLEX ERA 3 lights, so check which product you own before buying.
The manufacturer says the cover helps with compliance under local and state laws when the lights are not in use. Rules differ by state, so confirm the requirements where you drive.
No. The manufacturer sells each light cover individually, so you will need one cover for each FLEX ERA 3 light you want to protect.
The manufacturer describes the cover as easy to install, since it clips directly onto the FLEX ERA 3 light without a separate bracket or tools. Clean the lens face and the inside edge of the cover before snapping it on, so dust does not get trapped underneath. Press evenly around the perimeter until every clip seats, then check the fit by hand. To remove it, work the edges gently rather than prying at one corner, which can crack the polycarbonate.
