they're not blue. they are HID 6000k bulbs. the reason the look blue is because of the led rings around the bulbs give off a bluish hue.

still illegal considering they're hid lights in a vehicle that was never equipped with hids. Even worse they aren't in projector housings so they blind oncoming traffic.

next weekend is the big weekend. lift kit is going on. tonight im installing the snorkel. over this past week I made a homemade sound bar for the jeep. I need to post pics of everything that im doing. I also got 5% tint on the jeep helps a lot with the sun. this next week is going to be full of PB blasting every bolt 2x a day to help reduce problems. I got a question though if anyone can answer in the event that I will probably be breaking my rear upper shock bolts, what size bolts should I get to replace them?

Homemade sound bar, it's painted black now. They are 6x9 Sony speakers. I know not the best speakers but I wanted something to replace my door speakers when I take off the doors

Lift kit is on and I couldn't be happier. Only broke 2 bolts one rear upper shock bolt and one transfer case cross member bolt. No biggie. Only took my dad and I about 2 days to do for being the first time doing a lift kit. No drive line vibrations with the transfer case drop kit. I will get an sye and custom drive shaft. Bumper is here from dirtbound off-road. It's the DIY bumper saving me a few bucks. Will be getting that welded up here soon. Also need to instal my snorkel. Oh and joined a jeep club but I won't be going out until I build the bumper and get a winch. I am super stoked about how it turned out.
