Thanks. All I need now is the gauges done. I'm still looking into what I need to buy for them. If you wanted that interior lighting, it only cost me about $40. If you wanna do it, let me know I'll help yah out on the ordering.

where did you order your LED's from?
I highly reccommend Rough Country lift kits. everyone and myself that I know that has one is satisfied. As for the 3", I love the look of it and it performs just as needed for me.
The LEDs were all ordered from superbrightleds.com and ebay.

I'm hoping to tint my brake lights. Also, I get to take that gay red sticker off my license plate when I get the chance to go to the DMV. Then, itll be almost all black.

There is a difference in the trajectory of the lighting. You can see a different pattern between the two pictures. The high beams, ironically, are actually brighter BUT more focused.

Today I ordered Nite Ize Maglight Clamps for my flashlight. I plan on mounting this in the back of my glove box to help organize it.
While I was thinking about the glove box, I came out with what I like to think, an ingenious idea. I want to use a refrigerator light switch to hook-up a light inside of my glove box. It shouldn't be to complicated and using LEDs, I can splice it into the passenger kickerpanel LEDs, as they don't need as much voltage as they have. The light, if ordered from EBay, would run about $11 + wire which I have spools and spools of already. Tell me what you guys think of this idea.

Just ordered the LEDs for my gauges and the climate control (HVAC) buttons. After this, my interior lighting will be 100% completely upgraded.
Here's what I bought:

In total, these cost me a little over $10

Sounds good! I mainly had questions on where you got your HID kit and where you buy all your LEDs from. Ebay or a vendor?

Yes, I'm selling the one I received that was to small on Sunday. I already ordered the replacement. Make sure if you order it to get the 50202**L**. The "M" doesn't look right on XJs.

Heres the links:
-1 rigid loop festoon from HERE
-3 T10 panels from HERE
-2 T10 lights from HERE
-1 T10 light from HERE
-2 BA15S bulbs from HERE

Here's Dashboard Lights (Quantity = 4)
Have them send:
-1 set of xenon white T4 LEDs
-3 sets of xenon white T5 LEDs

HIDs:
Xentec 6000k Bi Xenon (recommended) kit
New Housing for HID bulbs

Make sure to get H4 bulbs from the kit. Also, the housing you get a free pair of bulbs for backup. That is everything.

Those things have been on there from the previous owner! I don't know where he got them, but I love them.
I guess these are it:
