It was ZJ servicing today, no hickups since the CPS previous.
The stock lights just suck.
Replaced a couple of my small LED aftermarkets and added a couple additional just under the Lic plate. Each set individually relayed and switched.

Put some flush mount led pods in the rear hatch on my Zj. Wish I would have done it a long time ago!

I promise I hooked them up to a switch and not inline with the regular reverse lights.

It is as tight as you can imagine. Got a little more trimming to do. 31s on a 2". I only plan on going to a 3" in the near future. Different flares for sure

I've had the interior kit for a while now. Love it! Only things I wish is that it included a second dome light bulb (for the under hood light) and could get map lights in red.

Just ordered the instrument set, along with a license plate light.

oh duh, I meant I ordered the instrument kit. Stupid me. I will be getting the interior lighting kit sometime as well. Nice little filler project in between major projects. Keeps the mind busy.

Stock for now. I have owned this thing for about 6 weeks now and havent really driven it. I want to wait until I change the arms and add the flares before I worry about bump stops. It will probably be sitting in the garage for the next 2 weeks before that happens. Need more time!

Finally got around to replacing my cracked exhaust manifold and decided to replace my valve cover gasket and motor mounts while I was in the neighborhood

Just look up the part numbers for the bulbs and then find the LED versions on ebay... or even superbrightleds.com

They're not the only place to get 'em, man.
