Thanks

i plan on doing that this summer with smoked lights. I have only seen it one time in a pic. But let me know how much its going to cost and how your going to run your wire. I was going to get mine from www.gorecon.com

Yeah this is one of the best prices ive found, they are $80.95 on there and it showed me $5 shipping. I figured that those were dodge style so surely they would fit, not 100% though. Need a good seal so it doesnt leak.

I figured id just drill an individual hole for the wire for each light and run through the roof and down the drivers side of the windshield pillar, and most likely just splice it into my driving lights so that way anytime my lights are on they would be also.

They probably wouldnt go the greatest with my jeep being maroon now but im planning a color change to either olive drab green or desert storm tan. Still undecided on that lol.

dont just tap into the existing wire. use a relay so the parking lite wire turns the relay on, and the power for the new lights comes from a higher current 12v through the relay

I like them, but would like them better if you had a visor.

visors are kinda like scooters: there fun until your friends see you ridding it... if you catch my drift.
