Default sPod Needed?
Hello !

So my future plans for my jeep will include adding more lights! I plan to add a 50" lightbar, two light pod at the corner of the windshield, and two led color changing rings for my headlights inside the compartment itself. So the question is, will I be needed an sPod at all?

No one really NEEDS a spod. Personally, I couldn't see myself spending the cash on something so simple so I made my own.

I used parts from Waytekwire and followed a write up on another forum

I think I was around the $130 area. Which is a lot better than the $500 or whatever for the Spod.

Would you say I would need one though with all the lights I'm adding?
