Hope that helps.

Also, if you are going to replace the 1156 bulb with an LED, you need a bulb that discharges on all sides rather than the ones that just shine out the front as the bulbs you find at your local auto parts store. The existing bulb is sideways in the bumper so you need an LED that has lights on all sides. Those are available online from a variety of web sites. I haven't received mine yet but I'm assuming the different bulb will solve the problem.

Can the bulb be replaced with a smaller one that won't do that? I like the look of the lights as running lights as opposed to turn signals but don't want to melt anything.

Mine arrived monday (took a week and a day across country, can't beat that for free shipping!) from Northridge (Thanks Dave) and is in a crate at work. Yesterday I went over to see if I could fit it in the back of the JKU. Then I tried to lift an end it to see how heavy it is. I couldn't budge it, not even slide it. Then I realized it was strapped to the pallet, and I was standing on the pallet.
