Finished My Led Tail Lights!

I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Here is one before picture and a few after pics. They are 4" round LEDs that I got off of ebay for $30.

I bought a couple of small 55W fog lights from Walmart for $14.99. I am going to mount those on the tire carrier and wire up to the reverse light wire with a relay. THe reason I haven't done it yet is because I need to pull a power wire from the battery because the lights draw a lot more juice than the stock wires can handle (they'll melt).

 

So those will be done this weekend :)

 

I think I'll actually just ziptie those lights to the spare carrier ... they are really small and light. I dont' care if they are stolen since they are so cheap :D ... I also don't want to mess with drilling into the bumper.

 

I was tryin to find lights that fit behind the "W" cut into the corners of the bumper ... but I couldn't find anything good. Maybe later I will put some marker lights in there ... I am also thinking about putting a couple of smaller LED lights on the sides of the quarter panels ... I may also have to think about lighting the license plate but I doubt the cops will hastle me for that.

 

Edit: By the way, the round LED's I have in there now are "3" state ... they are off, dim (normal driving with lights), or bright for blinking/braking. All I had to do was to short a pin on the flasher to keep it from flashing fast (it was thinking the bulb is "burnt") but overall, it was a VERY easy install. The only thing I had to do was cut a 4.5" hole with a hole saw and they fit perfectly :) Jeeps are sooooo easy to work on!

That site is great. I actualy followed the writeup they had on there on relocating the charcoal canister a bit (it's behind the passenger side quarter panel)... on mine, I just had to put a couple of washers behind the bolts to move it about 1/4" ... and the LED cleared just fine.

 

That's the other good thing about jeeps ... there is sooooo much information on the web for doing stuff like this!
