mikekaz1 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 just curious about any custom addons or factory modifications people have done to their trucks. ive done a headlight relay harness. and converted to XJW header. the headlight harness is probably the single best light upgrade you could doIMO.

Megadan Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 At this point I have done a Rampage brand Halogen clear lens headlight (H4 bulb) conversion with a relay harness. Nothing fancy or quite so radical as the above. I do want to get a pair of LED combination spot and flood lights mounted on the bumper here soon, and I would love some type of bed lighting. Still brainstorming on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Mmm interesting.... I just ask why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I did IPF H4 housings with vvme HID bulb and ballast as a trial. Ended up liking it so much the set up is still in my truck. This is far from fancy but works great. More light with absolutely no hot spots and it removes the power load from the switch. I like a lot of light, not a lot of lights ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Mmm interesting.... I just ask why? I wanted something different. And that wouldn't get busted out while wheeling. PERFECT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a registered vehicle? The state doesn't give a hassle on inspections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least here in MA, you need both to pass inspection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I live in Indiana. We don't know what laws and regulations or inspections are... Lol. The headlights in my MJ are probably more illegal... 130 watt off-road motorcycle bulbs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megadan Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I would have liked to have seen what the low beam glare was like on those LED housings. I am definitely interested, but not if they are going to blind the crap out of oncoming traffic.Also, from the reviews I have read on a few sites, a lot of people say they lack range. I like having strong distance lighting more than tons of up close light, especially in the winter with snow on the ground, or even rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Those Cree headlamps would be perfect on a rig with fart cans and a giant rear wing. :rotfl2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like having strong distance lighting more than tons of up close light, especially in the winter with snow on the ground, or even rain.This is typical for any LED without a good projection system. A ton of light real close, but it depletes quickly. I'd love to get some JW Speaker LED headlamps for my truck, but holy cow they are expensive.

I've wanted the Trucklite headlights since they came out, but at $180 each, a bit too rich for my blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megadan Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Anything else other then headlights guys? Just looking to spread cool/useful lighting tech Nothing to report at this moment unfortunately. Once I get a Fey bumper ordered for the rear I have a plan to improve my reverse lighting situation by flush mounting a pair of these in the bumper http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AXP65Y6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_3&smid=AIBUGCLTNYU69. If not those lights, then the more square shaped ones. Then my plan was to create an overly complex switch circuit that would have them tied to the reverse lights. This way I can actually SEE when I back up in dark areas. As far as the switch, I want to be able to kill the power to them so they don't have to always function, and then another switch function to have them on independently to function as sort of a rear work light. That wiring should be a joy to figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seegeer Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 ive done a headlight relay harness. and converted to XJW header. the headlight harness is probably the single best light upgrade you could doIMO. I like that headlight setup you have. I am new to Comanches but is that the xjw conversion you were referring too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
