Ok, yeah, I think you might be right - wish we could see the other lights on too though.
No longer have this Jeep, but here are some things I did,
My LED turn signals. Stock housing is still there I just cut out an oval an put these in. Bought from a truck stop. Don't remember exact price but for both lights, rubber molding and wiring it was under $80. Just spliced into the factory wires.

Always wanted to replace them with some thing like these

Did this after my foot was muddy and slipped on the pedals...
Ran some bolts through the pedals, my feet never slipped again.

When I first lifted it I added the drop for the transmission. This also lowers the exhaust. So this is what I did to raise the exhaust back up. I drilled out the exhaust mount bracket and flipped it on top of the transmission mount bracket.

This is where I mounted the CB. I used existing holes in a cross brace above the headliner. The handle is on a retractable cable so it stays out of the way when I didn't need it and can be pulled down when I did.

I really do love how that looks. Do you plan on ever relocating the amber lights? There's gotta be another place where they fit in. They seem out of place like that a little bit. What if you got an led strip and put it vertical like in the grill where the amber light is now?
