That's what happens when you put LED lights in housings designed for halogen bulbs. Not only are you not using the produced light nearly as well as you could, due to poor cutoff and excessive spill, you're projecting it poorly and blinding oncoming traffic. Technically illegal, and should be enforced more.

If you wanted LEDs, you should've gotten them from the factory (if an option) or wait til the aftermarket catches up so you can purchase DOT compliant lights that aren't distracting to other drivers.
Your comment above is part of the reason why I cancelled my Sport order and went with a Sahara. That, plus the inability to get a good LED housing/lighting options is what drove me to it. The icing on the cake was - after optioning my Sport vs the Sahara options, I ended up pretty darn close in price...

I have to get used to it.... I had a tacoma with the TRD exhaust on it and it gave it a bit of growl. But this is a bit louder and more aggressive sounding. I was originally going to order the black dual axle back but changed my mind last second

I thought having two JL Wranglers in the family would be awesome. It didn't dawn on me that now I have to spend 2x as much on mods and work 2x as much. Fortunantly I love working on the Jeeps....
Installed ROAM steps on my wife's JL as soon as we got it home today.

At least you can use some of the lifts you are going through on the first one. :clap:

Mine are blindingly bright like yours, lol! Looking good! Have you been getting the high beam flash at night yet?? :cwl::giggle:
I have not yet and have driven behind a couple of police officers with no issues. I agree with your other post as well that the halogens were so dull at night that it was more dangerous to drive with them than switch to aftermarket LEDs.

Yeah it was kinda cool having my wife in the garage helping me pull off her bumper fillers, and installing the side steps. No longer do I have to feel guilty when spending family time working on my Jeep in the garage. My kids can hand me tools and my wife can learn how to wrench on her Jeep.
Going off-road will be nice since we always have a "rescue vehicle" if one of us gets into trouble. She hasn't driven a manual in years, so it may take a short while before she's comforatable crawling up a steep hill with the 6spd.

Hell yeah I do, but with two JL's it may be a while before I can afford the coilovers. I used a good bit of my saved mod money so the wife would be happy.
Can't wait to see it installed!
Stop buying other lifts! ;)

Also, you don't need coilovers for this kit, you can move to them eventually. I think I read that these will work with the stock springs and shocks.

Put my doors and top back on. Supposed to rain soon. At least the soft top is super easy to take on and off.

The only thing is I wish the rear window rolled better. I feel like I'm just bending it each time.
