Output at night = :D I'm addicted to seeing well at night. Winter pushes me into it as it's almost always dark while we're wheeling. Instead of adding 23894890234 aux. lights, why not just upgrade headlights so they aren't needed, then use aux. lights for the sides and rear?

Nice Job On The Lights!

I hear this.

I had a zj, the 5.2L. Limited. I loved it. Gave it to my pops though after I got back to the states.

It ran great for 4.5 yrs. Only had to replace a batt., upper coolant hose and reseal the rear diff.

Wish I still had it to this day.

I like your work w the headlight retrofit. I'll keep checking in to see what's new w this.

Here's a shot of my old jeep.

Honeslty, I've been a Wrangler guy since day 1. Nothing better than a four wheel drive vehicle that can handle topless wheeling in summer and snow in winter. After 2 YJ's, 2 XJ's, a TJ, and now my ZJ, I honestly love the ZJ more than the others, and it's still stock height! I enjoy having 4 doors, a trunk, but still the off-road capability that is Jeep.

Here's a crappy cell shot of the one light installed. Other should be installed later tonight or Sunday if I get time:

That looks awesome.

Extra ZJ love today.

Mine loved its first snow expedition of the year earlier. And I'm only on mediocre cooper trendsetter tires.

Can't wait to get that kit off of you and have HIDS

PAFirefighter11 · 01-23-2012, 12:54 PM

Thanks man! I removed the other light this morning and will have the ballast removed at lunch so all your components will be ready to go! The only thing you may want to buy is a set of boots for the rear of the housings, just to keep any extra water out. I haven't had any issues, but I think it's better safe than sorry. I am buying boots for the new design myself.

Didn't hit any trees in the snow, did ya? lol.

schaffer · 01-23-2012, 01:00 PM

God damn I'm jealous o your light output.

Was a guy on the Jbody forum that was churing out retro fits for any vehicle. Any chance you'd be doing this?

Haha I have no problem with ordering the boots. Just remind me where I can get them lol

Nah no trees yet. I have the hang of my jeep in the snow

PAFirefighter11 · 01-23-2012, 03:17 PM

Good, just be careful haha. The snow is a ton of fun in ZJ's. I'm ready for more!

Latest shot, just moment ago:

I like this setup more with the color of your jeep than the other setup!
