As for the switches I do not own any.

As for the Oznium LEDS I have purchased 20 and not one has burned out on me. They are 100% waterproof and they have been mounted on our JK for over 2 years now.

What am I doing wrong? I have gone through 26 of the 26 I've purchased. I've got them all wired in Parallel, not series, they are dying on me when I'm not even using them sometimes. Aka, I put them on for 10 seconds to test that they're working - a month later, I go to turn them on and now 1/2 of them are burned out again. The guys at Oznium were stand up about it and shipped out new LEDs, no questions asked, but it's gotten annoying.

You didn't do anything wrong. (unless you cut off the inline resistor)

The issue was the manufacturer Oznium purchased the LEDS from shipped him a bad batch of LEDS. The problem there is no way to find out they are bad until you light them up for a long time. So that is why Oznium shipped replacements to everyone no questions asked.

Fantastic -- much better that the big 4" waterproof lamps I was going to recycle from my previous rig. Thanks for sharing this.

Speaking of switches -- I do like the ones shown on the mod (listed on site with the LEDs) however, I'm looking at the factory switch area where my Hazard & ESP switches are and wondering if there is an OEM type switch that I can add to that strip? I did a couple of cursery searches but not findig what i'm looking for (likely searcher error), any recommendations?

I remembered seeing this in another thread. Might PM the poster and ask what he did. Switch style, etc.

Forget about the "I want it as stock looking as possible" it not worth the effort to hack into that stock switch pod.

Here's what I did...

Forgive me being a complete noob, I've looked through all 29 pages and was wondering if there is an easy way to get in the stock fenders? Or is it pop the rivets and replace as needed? Thanks! This is an awesome write up and will be doing it as soon as I return Stateside.
