Ok so on the 2011 2012 you cannot install the LED block to in the domes because of the new map light feature.

The front is made up of two map lights with two switches

The rear is the one bulb with a on off map light switch as well

So I ordered LEDs from superled and installed them.

They work good I guess but here is the weird electrical thing crap

The map feature does not work now. Turn the switches on and nothing. Open the door they work fine

And here is the weird ghost gremlin crap part

Map switches off and the LEDs glow at 1% or .5 % very faint tiny glow can be seen in pitch dark

Turn the maps switches on and the go completely dark till you open the door and with the jeep running they stay on.

Is this because of the new computer controlled BUS system ??

What happened to the old fashion 12 volts on 12 volts off

If I switch the original bulbs back all work fine.

Maybe It's the bulb? I can say that these LED's work really well on my 11' JK. I got the natural white version...their bright! Good Luck!!! Here's the link. http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...x12.htm#photos
