You know you can always choose 'not to buy'.

Thanks for the link & info whpony96! I am really interested in these. Mainly because you sold me through your persuasive sales pitch

That's because I'm lazy and just cut, copied and pasted from their website for the info on them. Yep I'm lazy!!

Dang Scott--I never noticed those on your rig! Those suckers look sweet though. Hope you've got pics from that night run last weekend, I think we'd all love to see'em.

May have to add this to the list, but I'm going to MUDVILLE and leaving ROCKVILLE here soon.

whpony96 - what gauge wire did you run, and where did you run it through?
I'm pretty sure I used 18 gauge wire. I ran paired wire all the way around as well (meaning I used only 1 grounding point for the entire system) I drilled only 2 holes for wiring purposes.

The main harness begins feeding the passenger front wheel well then from the battery through the firewall along the lower plastic trim to the passenger side rear door area (splitting into the passenger rear wheel well) then across behind the seats and under the carpet to the drivers side rear door area inside the JK and to the drivers side rear wheel well (see photos).. The secondary harness runs from the drivers front well runs across the front grill to meet the main harness by the battery. .

You can supply voltage anywhere you want. I applied mine by the battery where the primary and secondary harness meet. but you can tap the switched 12v cigar lighter port inside the cab and then just add a switch. This is totally up to you..

Stealthy huh! I was going to surprise you on the night run.. Our battery died on the night run last weekend and all our photos turned out like poop!

Go get 16 of them and we can put them in this weekend! Then we can do a write up with photos for on here! I am helping the Green JK that was on the run install a CB and the bumper trim this weekend as well.

Just ordered 4 bright whites and then 3 single Reds to put under the middle lip on the radio console as interior lights. I may also look into putting 2 up front under the hood with a switch up there.

I think I am going to have to give this a go... might wire in a led in the back to go under my new tuffy box in the back, put some under the dash on both driver and passenger side and then some rock lights. At that price even though I dont need them you never know when they could come in handy.
