Didn't do anything to the wk today but went to the auto show in milwaukee. I have to say I was somewhat disappointed with Jeep's display. At past shows I've seen hummers parked in tripod mode or at least interesting displays, they were just tucked in the corner with a couple wk2s and one of everything else. Hate to say it but I think ford by far had the best display.
Oh and I got a free Jeep carabiner clip for entering to win $45k towards a new chrysler.

Overland was off limits.
Sexy overland interior.
The only rubi they had (mw3).
This thing was just flat out mean looking.

White LEDs in the HVAC and switch modules.
Radio and shift console left for another day; sorry about the blur, I didn't unearth the gorillapod for a quick shoot.
Edit: ok, ok, better pic.
Writeup to follow in a few days.

Second time, not so bad.
First time, you learn what really matters 
Need to be good at soldering; you have to do some tack soldering that takes some feel, right at the edge of the LED, in order to get the heights right.
I could probably do the whole set in two hours knowing what I know now. The boss will determine whether I get to write it up soon or not

I've seen alot of people complain about them (mostly for Customer Service). But I have a set and haven't had any issues. When I bought the Hids I also ordered a set of turn signal lamps but they they sent the wrong ones. I E-mailed them a pic and they responded the next day. Told me to keep the lamps and they sent out a new set that day.
So, all the way around, a good experience for me.  I have no complaints.

I've been contemplating fog lights lately... just not sure if I can wire them up properly (they would just be an aux switch). Other than that I just finally took a picture of the plugs that I took out last weekend. As you can see they were quite worn.
