How are the led backup bulbs. You talking about the round "oem" ones right. Do they light the ground behind you good?

They are brighter, but my tints make it harder to notice. Put it like this, you can see more. All the exterior bulbs, domes and accent lights. Looks great and less draw on the alt or battery. I have pic on here, but can't seem to see them on my iPad.......

I have an audio and lighting supplier. Autozone doesn't have great stuff. Used to be a manager there. The flasher is great, but you need to order them online. Look for the one in the picture or better.

I agree they don't have good stuff and the led lights they carry look crappy compared to yours.

Thanks. I didn't cover the tail lights. Thought about it, but it is unsafe during the day. I might get the smoked euro lights. Yeah, smoked or clear looks better. It flashes brighter.

Is this going to be a total on road Jeep or do you plan on offroading with it? My Jeep came with OEM fog lights that were crap. So I bought brand new ones. After 2 trail rides in some mud and water, they were crap again. The insides rusted out. So I lost 100 bucks. I went and got the JK Wrangler bumper lights which are sealed and are crazy bright. I mounted them to the metal bumper not the original location. You almost can't see my headlights when the fogs are on. They are cool and come with all the wiring you'll need as well.

That's the one that is mounted in front of the grille? I need one of those and the 4 on the roof rack.

I believe all the bulbs in the tail and front are 3157's. They can run $20 a pack of 2. 5 packs needed for all lights. The flasher will be needed. The side markers, I forgot the number, those are $15 a piece. That is about $130. HID set I think is 120.

Warning. LED's in side at night will hurt you eyes! They will be super bright. With 20% tint they look like factory bulbs through them.
