I really like the blue leds. I dont really care if some people dont like it. Also if you have dirty or stained up carpets like i do, the blue leds doesn't show the stains as bad as a white color bulb would. You would be really amazed to know how one 1156 standard bulb took more power to work then all my 7 interior led bulbs did. Just my 2 cents.

I have white LED's in the dome and footwells which are very bright. On a switch is the 'mood lights' blue LED's under dash. Mostly for having some light when needed during driving. The overheads are too bright to have on while driving.
Works great

Also look close at the lower right dash. There is a grill for speakers on both sides. My 96 had them along with the wire harness. All I had to do was install the speakers and plug them in. 6 total in stock locations.
Same with interior lights, there was a plug for lights under driver dash and connected to dome lights.

Ha, that was hilarious, I remember those from the 90's, and some would have lights that would circle around the license plate frame when you applied the brakes, extra cheesy!

I didn't think you could have 6 speakers with a 4 channel deck, is it possible?

Maybe with rca splitters/splicing the speaker wires? You would have less control (front-to-rear balance would control more speakers at a time, and stereo-type sounds may come out of 4 speakers instead of 2, but I could see it working...

I use red LEDs for all the interior lights, plenty of light to see a map or where you dropped your phone but doesn't effect your night vision.

And I could care less if other people like it or not, it's my jeep that I am tailoring to my needs and no one else.

I wondered that too. I believe jeep split and filtered the signal into the dash speakers as mid-range/tweeters. Testing, I hooked up a full range 3-way speaker in an improvised box and the woofer part was not producing like the mids and highs.
The grill for the speaker is less than 3" so definitely a tweeter. The harness comes down from above the hood latch cable, the connection is 'two prong' and there are two wires connected to each prong, strange. But the sound output is clear and crisp. 50 watts x 4 with Fosgate self powered 10"
