It's very easy, all it needed was a new hole drilled into the ball mount that holds the phone onto the holder so it sits forward a little more. The camera comes with a heap of different mounting options.

Added hydro bumps to help with bottoming out, front end is riding brilliant. Time to do a bit of fine tuning next weekend of shocks and bumps.

Default Engine Bay and tailgate table light

Have been filling boredom recovering from a broken humerus with doing things to the jeep. Anyway I've put in a tailgate light for camping and a hood light. I used Lightforce Rok 20 ultraflood in the hood and Rok 9 on the tailgate they ended up pretty well perfect for me, some may like a little more light on the tailgate. Engine bay light uses a Narva waterproof led push button switch I placed near the battery. Tail gate uses an earth door switch. I was hoping to just use the tailgate sender but it's a normally closed circuit (powered when closed) so opted the earth switch to avoid parasitic draw from another relay. Also tidied up the relays from driving lights and Bar indicators with a relay box.

Fitted snorkel, removed the worlds most poorly fitted uhf and struggled fitting a 46L auxiliary fuel tank to my 2013 2 door after the MRS accidentally tossed the instructions.
Also made a good start on getting a second battery into it.

Hi All. Been playing around with LED headlights over the past few months and though I would share my experience. I've tried HID inserts, Ebay LED's and now the Ignite LED's. Early days but I think I'm satisfied with these Ignite's. The Ebay LED's were pretty rough; blinding on low beam, not focused enough on either beam, poor saturation. But build quality good and very cheap ~$150. They are heaps better than standard. And they flicker in the JK, so you need to install a anti-flicker device. The Ignites are much more refined. Very good cut-off on low beam, very good focus (don't light up the paddock 90 deg either side), and high beam is very bright. No anti-flicker required.

Here are some picks -Ignite left, Ebay right. I would add that, to my knowledge, neither of these lights are ADR approved.

Side by side.


High beam. 6m in front and centered. Camera positioned at headlight level. Ignite is brighter.


Low beam. 6m in front and centered. Camera positioned at headlight level. You can clearly see how blinding the Ebay light is on low beam.


Low beam. 6m in front and centered. Camera positioned at Ground level. This shows that the Ignite is actually brighter on low beam, but aimed at the ground.

The driving experience is much more pleasant with the Ignites too, high and low beam. They really tend to saturate the area of focus much better - no wasted light shooting off in all directions. I do, however, have 2 minor dislikes about the Ignites. The first is that right on the cut-off line, they tend to admit a slightly rainbow spectrum. The second is that they look a little "googly" by protruding out of the light socket by a good 25mm or so. That said, at under $600 a pair inc post, I'm pretty happy.

Nothing much you can do about colour fringes. It is inherent in the way the lens focuses the light. The JWS have it as well. The cheaper lights don't show it because they aren't focused as well & the colour fringes of one LED are overlapped by the other LEDs glare.

In photography it is called chomatic aberration, and expensive, ($1000+), lenses minimise, (but cannot eliminate), it by using several layers of coatings. Cheaper lenses have coatings on theelements as well, but not as many & not as effectively.
