LED Taillights ?
Getting ready to convert my taillights to LED on my 2004 TJ.
Was wondering from anybody who has done it what you found to be the
best lights. I am assuming that more LED's = brighter and better.
Looking to get either some4"'s with 56 or 60 led's. I have been to
some sights with tips on installing but would like to hear from any
body here who has done it on 2004's or newer.
I heard that on these years you may have to move the vapor canister on
the passenger side that is tucked in the tub somewhere
Thanks,

Re: LED Taillights ?
I have not done it on a TJ, can't help there.
The problems I see with the LED conversion are:
1) backup lights - you have to mount something on the bumper or elsewhere
2) side markers - maybe another hole for flush mount on the side?
3) license plate light - got me

Re: LED Taillights ?
Tim,
By tail lights (I'm asuming the back only) do you mean the Red -
running, turning, stopping lights? Or the back-ups too? Or what other
lights (do you have to change the running lights with this hook-up)?
Could you post the links that you have viewed for these products?
Thanks,
Steve
