You just voided your warranty. LOL





(for your turn signals, marker lights, body control module, insturment cluster, and front control module) but what the hell, it's cool, right?! HEE HEE HEE

sadly this very well may be true. The new service manager at my used-to-be-favorite-dealer-cuz-they-were-so-fair-about-covering-legit-warranty-issues pretty much told me the other day that he refuses to do absolutely any warranty work on my jeep due to the lift.... so for now i'll work with the other service heads and hope they can work around him at least until its out of warranty and i can do as i please. otherwise there are plenty of jeep dealers in the area to bring my business to.

The rummor about voiding warrantys has been beaten to death. Yea if you drive your Jeep off road you will void your warranty, better not do that. Better not change out your tires, or touch your suspension parts or change your own oil.
My service manager did not even know they did not come that way from the factory. Most new cars are wired so the side markers blink.
You know Jeep had to save every penny it could on wire. I was glad mine came with an engine compartment light and footwell light before they cut those out of the program. I hear in 2009 to save even more $ they are doing away with brake lights!

I showed my service manager what I did and he thought it was great. He was wondering why Jeep did not do it that way from the get go.
