6thelement,
Is that a little LED you used for a side marker just behind your front fender?

Firekite,
You ordered yours black powder coated right? Did you order just fenders, or fenders and flares? Looking for feedback on delivery time.

the TA truckstop called the small corner\side markers "bullet lights"

front led lights at grill $14.99 for 2.the housings where $2.99 a piece.

the bullet lights cost $14.99 for a 4 pack

7" headlights whith high out put bulbs 24.99 a pair Ebay. 9.99 for just lights pluss shipping ( about $6.00 ? ) they have a lot of styles,search Ebay (7" headlight) they have black too....

H I D h4 55w kit Ebay $60.99 free shipping

total cost $.121.94 and i have spare bulbs just in case my hid ballist\bulb goes out..

p.s the bullet lights fit in the holes already in the fenders

Here is an interesting turnsignal. It seems to be nice and tightly sealed too.

Sealed beam means that there is no seperate bulb, at least i think so. These headlights use an h4 bulb, therefore making them not a sealed beam. The bulbs that got sent with my headlights werent that great, one of them seperated. Not a big deal since I was gonna put higher oputput bulbs in anyway. The only disadvantage to these headlights, from a jeep standpoint, that i can see is that they are vented, one vent up top and one by the bulb. For Jeeps that see water above the headlights might not be the greatest idea. Just my $0.02

Awesome review! Are these white at night? Or blue tint like? I'm hoping white. Are these, in your opinion, better then factory output from behind the wheel? Or worse?

jeepman_82 · 09-03-2009, 06:25 PM

All of those options can be changed with whatever bulbs you add to the headlights. Since they are an H4 you could go with a stock upgrade or go with 150 watt optical equivalent IPF bulbs, and get white or blue lights also.

lukethedork · 09-03-2009, 06:55 PM

I myself have highlined stock fenders, since I didn't want to spend money on tube fenders.

But I must say these are truly one of the greatest Bolt-On Jeep products I have seen. Right up there next to the Currie Anti-rock Swaybar and OX Locker
Not only do they provide more tire clearance in all the right ways (like when flexed up) but they look AWESOME.

Big up to you guys.

LOL! Thanks Cutch! Its great that so many are taking advantage of our 20% off sale! (Blatant Plug)

How long are you going to run that sale? What about the free shipping offer? I am about a week (two at the most) away from pulling the trigger and would hate to just miss it. I really want to order front and rear at the same time and just dont quite have the funds for the whole enchilada together just yet.

The current 20% off sale is dubbed "Cool September Days" and will be good through the month of, well... September.

As for Free Shipping, that was part of our "Hot August Nights" sale and ended August 31st.

So you could still order the fronts right now, save 20%, get those installed, sell your stock fronts, and use that money to help get the rears.
