Default Put some more LEDs in

Soundbar
A couple of weeks ago, I put some of these LEDs in the Soundbar.
They made a huge difference to the interior lighting even though they were pointing in the wrong direction.

http://www.superbrightleds.com/searc...0wedge%20base/




I noticed these LEDs point straight down, so thought I'd try them out - ordered some and put them in today.

http://www.superbrightleds.com/morei...edge-base/214/



Here's a pic before I put the covers back on - I have a Rugged Ridge Soundbar and had to get creative with a few things but the end result was well worth it



Each 'globe' has 10 LEDs. As expected they put out a lot of light. Actually - a LOT of light
If you are looking for some romantic mood lighting, these are not for you.
A MASSIVE difference over the halogen globes that came with the Rugged Ridge Soundbar.

Underhood
Got a RL (Rigid Loop) LED to replace the RL globe in the underhood light.

http://www.superbrightleds.com/morei...d-festoon/244/



Unfortunately, the LED RL's have the LEDs pointing in the wrong direction for the TJ underhood light fittings so it was time to get creative again.

Had to 'twist' the copper connectors in the light fitting 90 degrees so the LED RL 'globe' could be mounted with the LEDs pointing in the right direction.
Twisting the connectors made them too far apart for the LED, so had to re-route the connectors slightly - Luckily I only broke one plastic clip in this process - cable ties to the rescue



Haven't re-installed the underhood light yet.
After reading the fine print, discovered the RL LEDs are for 'interior use only' so siliconed up all the holes on the light fitting before putting it back in.

Removed all the canvas over the weekend and gave it all a good scrub with the Bestop cleaner to get MOST of the mud stains out.
Also cleaned the interior of mud.
Note to self, dont wheel in heavy mud with only lower half doors.
