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.

What was done to your JK this week?

So last week I got the Vision X halogen driving lights 100 watts extremely white (#6010) to put on my windshield on RR brackets (that I painted deep water blue to match the jeep). This week I installed them...it was my first time doing this and it took me about 3 hours.

Also, my friend gave me is Sahara front bumper cover and I painted it the same deep water blue as the jeep (3 coats primer, 4 coats blue and 2 coats clear). So those are the pictures:

Any opinion on: should I leave the driving lights on the windshield or should I move them to the bumper????

Did you drill thru the firewall? If so where did you do it at and what did you do to fill in the hole after you ran the wires?

I like them on the windshield. It may just be my OCD, but looking at the last pic, can you turn the headlight guards sideways to match the windshield lights?

That's easy... Leave them on the windshield and order another set for the bumper :-)

There's a hole on each side... Remove the side panels of the dash, you'll see the holes they are filled w yellow/white foam. Use a coat hanger to run through it ... Open hood and you will see it come through on the inside top edges. Search the forum... Plenty of pics on here.

No, you can't. I have the same and they only mount one way.
