BrettM Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 My MJ is missing the interior lights at the top of the B-pillar, has anyone found a better replacement? LEDs maybe? any other cool things to do with that spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 The stock lights are not only French pieces of crap that use funky bulbs and put out pathetic amounts of light even when new, they are mounted in an awful location. I bought a generic household "tap light" that's battery operated and has a halogen light in it and mounted it in the center of the roof. Very bright! I can actually read maps and such. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostissues Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 i have been thinking about puttin 12 volt led's in as replacement for the crappy cab lights, i was thinking about intergrating them into the fix up of my headliner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I pulled a set of rear courtesy lights out of a Lincoln Mark IV (or wahtever) awhile back but haven't got them mounted yet :cry: There in the big pile o' parts, on the to-do list someday. They're rectangular, and are almost the same size as the cutout in the pillar. They have a pushbutton, and a clothes hook too :D I'll dig 'em out and post a pic tomorrow.

mjeff87 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 couple pics of them, front and back, and one I stuffed it in the pillar (not connected). I'll have to trim out the hole in the plastic a tad so they sit flush. Jeff Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Like this: ? That looks snazzy. Have you wired em straight to the battery to see how bright they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 No, now that I think about it some more....it was a Park Avenue, later model. I haven't hooked them to power yet, but anything has got to be better than those stock rocker lights :headpop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcolfax Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I love how all of Jeff's pics have a BudLight can in them... kinda like mine always having a Silver Bullet in them... :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attaboybob Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I reupholstered my headliner and installed this marine light I bought on E-bay. It has a bright white light. you can see everything in your MJ. It also has a red light, which lets you see in the cab at night and not get a reflection on the windshield, allowing you to still see clearly. I bought it about a year ago. I actually bought two and put one in my XJ. well worth the money. I couldn't be more pleased. if for some reason the link don't work. go to "boaterbits" store on e-bay ...BOB http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/STAINLES ...

GirsMJ86 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 yea sorry. my 91 has the two on the pillars behind the seats that all MJs have. but it also has one on each side down by your feet. i think they were spliced in but they work just like the domes and really brighten up the cab which those stupid domes alone can't do.

Oizarod115 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 hmmm, now that i think of it my brothers 90 XJ has ones by the feet. yours could have been factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 My MJ didn't have those kickpanel lights, but the wiring was there for 'em. I swapped in a set from an XJ, and they make a WORLD of difference. Even more so for me, because I have a solid black interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check NAPA, and if they don't have 'em go to a semi trailer shop. If my memory still works, each light is less than $2, and the mount has the wiring built in (mount may not be included).

Alex Mine didn't have them either, BUT they where wired from the factory. I added some form an XJ and they plugged right in and worked fine!!! NICE ADDITION!!!
