I know it really isn't that big of a deal. My home phone number is published in the phone book for anyone to read as well, but I don't post it all over the internet. With all the scams and identity theft these days I'd rather be safe than sorry I guess.

Everything else looks awesome though!

Are you able to see better inside the jeep with those dome lights? Sometimes it seams like LED's are great and other times it seams like they make things harder to see. Whats your thought?

Thanks! The dome lights are "whiter" than they look in the pictures. It's definately easier to read things and look through the console at night. The light is more comparable to a fluorescent bulb vs an incandescent bulb. It just takes a little getting used to. As far as the gps mount goes, I don't think it will be an issue. I bent it towards the driver a good amount so it shouldn't get in the way of the airbag.

What did you replace your fog lights with and where did you order your Cibies from? I love how the head lights and fog lights look. Awesome job

The headlights were swapped out for Cibie's with 55w 6000k Hi/Low HID's (H4). I wasn't a big fan of the orange sidemarker and turn signal lenses so I swapped them out with clear ones. The two interior dome lights were replaced with strips of high power LED's. They took a little trimming to get a good fit, but overall the install was very easy. The car also has 1.5" spacers all around. Apologies in advance for the mediocre pics.

You are the JK lighting GURU! Please post pics of the beam pattern at night! I gotta see how those cibies are handling the HIDs! I've been so curious about that setup!

Definitely would like to know how the HIDs are in the Cibie housings.
You need to do fog HIDs now as well.
Originally I was going to do that, bu the Osram 85/80 bulbs were terrific, and now the Hella Yellow Star 130/100 give the same lighting with a yellow tint, which makes it an excellent all weather / off road setup.
