JP goes LED, Interior and Rock Lights

So I've been wanting to convert as much of JP to LED as possible for a long time, however LED's aren't cheap and most of the time not very bright. So while goofing around over on Pirate, I came across these super cheap and bright LED's out of China. You get 20 pucks on a string for $26. Only the take 3-4 weeks to get here They are worth the wait!


So I started off replacing my rock lights. This is the 3rd stage of these. I originally started with 5) 55 watt fog lights, they we're really bright, but when you get the roof lights and two lights up front going it was starting to be a bit much on the electrical system.

Stage 2 was some accent LED lights I picked up from the auto parts store. They worked but not as bright as I wanted, and they still cost me $50+ in the end

So now stage 3. I installed the new rock lights, and they are much brighter.

I liked them so much....I did the interior of JP too

Just FYI for anyone ordering these.

Since I ordered these I heard they are sending some customer a letter saying they need additional identification. Asking for a copy of your credit card and picture id. Now to me this sound totally bogus, and there is no way I giving some guy in China, my picture ID and a copy of my credit card.

So my advice if this happens to you is to cancel your order and reorder using Paypal, or do that from the start.

Used PP on my initial order.

That sucks to hear. Maybe we can find a different seller. This goes against my rule of no ordering directly from china. Once I ordered a laptop battery from ebay from china. Long story short, I was screwed out for 85 bucks, the return shipping, and still had no battery (by time the return was made it was outside paypal's window for a claim)

WHAT...You thought I was done?

For those of you with 2nd Gen's you'll know that we were not blessed with a under hood light. Well No more!!! Installed a switch under the hood, and stuck the LED so it lights the whole engine compartment

The 2nd image is where I installed one in the lift gate so when open it shines down to the ground, or in my case the boxes that pull out from the cargo area

I've been waiting at least a month for mine to ship too. They show as being temporarily sold out on the website so I'm sure they're just waiting on more from the manufacturer.

 

[TarHeel085]

Took me about a month to get mine as well, def worth the wait though! ive put in eight of the 11 i plan on so far. one in each rear wheel well, one in spare tire location and one above rear pinion and the rest are in normal locations.

 

[techieman33]

Mine arrived today a month after shipping.

 

[Jason c]

Mine finally arrived the other day too.
