Notices
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.

What was done to your JK this week?

Thanks!!! It's a fun mod

Actually they say that green has a less effect on your night vision than any other color. That's why most cars have green panels and buttons etc. i know jets have green too, like F-16's etc. I thought about red too though. I knew blue was bad. Plus I think I went with green cause with the tan line-x I have I thought it looked better. I like green lol. These are much brighter than I thought they would be too.

That's what I thought when I did it too. Glad I didn't sound like a d-bag when I said green was better. In the AF we had green inside of all our vehicles. Plus NVG's.

Armed Forces been using green since I can remember. Helps your vision specially when your running blackouts.

Guess I chose correctly then lol. I knew I liked it for a reason other than I just liked the green color.

You're right, green light is soothing and is best for contrast. That's why they use it with NVGs. But without them, red would be best for natural night vision.
Besides that the green light looks super cool.

Lol thanks. I thought it looked cool too. Two 12 led panels in the front and I wired two 24 led panels in the back. They are really very bright.
