Plus I have 20ft of 12/2 sj cord that I'll run through firewall to the converter and crimp connect and rubber tape the wire together.

YKYDAXJW you are creative enough to run Christmas lights on your jeep

More of an YKYDAXJW story, but here it goes.

Friday I went to get my Jeep inspected. After it was done I was reviewing the inspection paperwork and saw that my mileage was 159160. I thought, "Hmm, that's strange... I could have sworn that's what it was last year." When I got home I pulled out the inspection sheet domain last year and sure enough, 159160. I now realise I have no idea how many miles are actually on my rig, when it stopped working, or if it ever stopped working before and maybe it had more than the 93xxx it had when i got it. My trip meter still works, but the mileage never changes. Just another reason I can never forget that I'm driving an Xj.

Thats how I park at the store, the bank, the hookah bar, school, and everywhere else there are snow piles

YKYDAXJ when you get cheap LED christmas lights to cut them up and waste 95% of the materials, only keeping the LEDs themselves, because even ebay can't beat 100 LEDs for 6 bucks. Winter modding, I do this every year and end up modding tons of crap with LEDs.

I have my LED dash lights in my gallery, but I recently changed them to green, that pic is blue. Right now I am making LED DRL/front signals. Once they are together I will post pics of those.

You used LEDs out of a light string for your gauges?
Have a link to what kind of string?

I thought it would be a PITA to do, with the way the light holders are set up.

Once removed, they are just bare LEDs. I drilled holes in the back of the bulb holders in the dash and soldered the wires to the printed circuit on the gauge cluster. Took forever but no loose connections.
Also, one of my markers is 90% done just needs the front lens. ran out of hot glue. Also need to straighten the row of white ones since they are kinda pointing weird directions.
