JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Ok, i actually used the search functions, and it gave me nothing.

Im considering buying some new lighting for my jk, but my only concern is visual distraction/impedence. Leaning towards the mopar down and out style brackets.

So.... lets see em!

*edit.
Please state light diameter and wattage. Maybe bracket style too!

You should also ask for the size of the lights, as there will be a noticeable difference between a 4", 6", 7", etc. And the bracket will make a difference also. Some mount the lights further down and out than others.

Check out the HIDx brackets. They are a down and out design, and also come with a bracket for the antenna

HIDx 7" on HIDx brackets. No visibility issues because the brackets move the light down and out. The HIDx bracket is great for visibility no matter what light you put on it.
