Hello all,


I want to start with: Sorry if I posted this thread in wrong forum section.


Ok, here goes.


I got myself a universal remote kit to add to the existing central locking system, now my question is:
Where can I find my original central locking control unit in the car?
so I can connect the wires from my kit to it.


I also would like your opinion about spotlights.
Option A: Bunch of round spot lights mounted to the front and rear side of the roof and a few on the bulbar.
Option B: A led bar mounted to the front and rear side of the roof and 1 on the bulbar.


Friendly regards,
Ryan

Remember, flood lights on the roof will cause a good amount of glare on the hood, Id suggest 2 spots, one on each a pillar, and a 20'' or 30'' bar on your bumper

I was thinking: 10x 9" round lights, 8 on roof (4 rear and 4 on front side of roof) and 2 on the bullbar or 2x 44inch led bars on roof and a 22" ish on the bulbar.


And wich light beams patterns would be recommended?

spot should be mounted close to eye level, flood on the bumper or roof(but like I said beready for glare)

Keep in mind the drag you will get from roof mounted lights. I have five square lights mounted on a light bar up top and above 50mph they can get really obnoxious. Wind noise is almost unbearable and mpg drops significantly. Any time I'm on the highway for more than 20 minutes or so I usually take my lightbar off

Ryan Webb

what do you mean with glare?

PurpleToxin505

The light is going to hitting the hood, 20000 lumens hitting a shiny surface= lots of glare

Ryan Webb

can you give an estimate in the drop?
I don't know my fuel consumption in mpg but I do about 11 to 12 KM on a liter

Ryan Webb

so u suggest I have it resprayed into a matte color like matte black or matte lime green, oeps did I say that out loud

Matte lime green would be sick depending on the color of your jeep
