JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

I would think it would have more of a strobe light effect, and last time I checked I was not going for the ricer look, or the look of the dancing Jeep on you tube.

my soft top tinted widows render the reverse lights useless as well.

Why not get the replacement Led bulbs that take the place of the stock bulbs? I got them for my Buell and were way brighter. Is it because of the needed resistor or do they not make them yet? I'm with N2rock, the stock reverse light suck, I went and bought a soldering iron this past weekend so I can finally wire up the lights in my new bumper. The Led posted looks clean though.

I put LED's in my bike as well, they are brighter, straight on, it's at an angle that they arent so great. the led cluster bulbs are better, but being directional i have seen hit and miss results using the incandescent lite covers designed to disperse that type of lightbulb, just dont work as well as purpose built reflectors/housings.

I will probably put LED's in there at some point, but i am wanting to do crusher corners, therefor I am not investing anything until i decide for sure what i want to do there.

Just put a camera in the back, a screen in the dash, and have it wired up so that the camera turns when in reverse.

x2. How do these bring anything to the table? Now if they relocated the assembly inboard some to be out of harms way then I could see it.

They light up quicker and are brighter so hopefully it will get the persons attention behind you and could avoid having them hit you.
