Brake light ideas?
I need help, I have no idea how I plan on doing the brake lights on my Jeep. For those of you who have aftermarket brake light set ups can you post up some pics and try and help me get some ideas. I dont want big lights, just little simple LEDS will be fine with me.
Thanks Ryan

Also if you go with LED tail lights, you need to install a resistor (typically 3 ohm works) so you don't get the quick flash indicating a burned out bulb. What happens is when someone installs LED rears on the existing electrical system, the amount of electrical draw to the LED is less than stock bulbs, signalling the system as a malfunction. The resistor will eliminate that. Be careful with JCR's set because they don't include reverse lights - which are mandated by Federal DOT guidelines. If you go with those, you'll need to wire some up.

I wish some company would make a set of LED tail lights for the XJ. You see LED tail lights made for every type of Jeep besides the XJ. I think there would be a fairly large market for a set a LED tail lights for the XJ. I guess I will have to stick with my euros until I find something else.
