Replaced the gauge cluster lights for blue LED's. I thought the AC control light would be the same. Well it's not and I busted one of the bulbs and only half of it lights up now.

Has anyone replaced these with LED's? Is it possible? Anyone know a stock part number for it?




Oh and here's a pic of the gauges. It's daylight right now so they dont look that bright.

So I went to Firestone to let them rotate tires since I have hazard protection and for it to stay valid they must rotate them. Ok no problem I don't trust leavin my jeep anywhere but it's just a tire rotation.

Tell me how they broke two lug nuts, damaged my lug nut key, and saying oh they were frozen on... I haven't trailed, it's hasn't snowed so what BS is that. would love to take pics for you guys too dark so I'll do it tomorrow. They said they have to heat the lugs to remove them.

I would say that they were cross threaded when put on that's why they felt like they were frozen and broke when trying to take them off.

You can't imagine how pi**ed I am. I mean how do you screw up a tire rotation. Worst part they were te last to touch them and they claim to have used a torque wrench and spec'd them... It's ok tomorrow I'm going to my friend, who is a mechanic, and I'm gonna look at them. Worst part these people owe me new lugs and I want OEM they better not give me some cheap aftermarket ones.

Last item for my rant, sorry this is off topic just really mad, worst thing is I do t even want any services free from them cause if they screwed this up what else are they gonna screw up. :sigh::facepalm::hung:

Since I spent the time to pait the fenders this past summer, I too the time to paint the bumpers to match. They come raw steel, so they needed painted either way..... thank goodness I still had some paint! LMAO....

And thanks bud! I love them!

How do you own a jeep and not rotate the tires yourself?

He explained it in his first post... Bought the tires there, they rotate if you want your warranty to stay in effect.
