HID headlights, roof rack Jeep JK

[CanuckChubbs]

I bought a set of HID's from another member (brand new), they are from HIDprojectors.com

I installed via temporary wiring (the harness is perfectly fine) just to see if I would like it. After thought, I would prefer to get a set of KC Hilites using H4 bulbs. They glow fine, on parklight it glows with red circle.


Not profiting, paid a bit for them, but all things considered, $160 is fair.


Also, I'm sure the steel alone is worth more, but $40 for KargoMaster Congo Cage roof rack for 2dr 2008 Jk. It does not have the bolts, but mounting brackets are there. Just want it out of the yard.

Hi, curious about your rack. I have a snorkel fitted, do you know if the rack will still go on? Also do you have a pic if possible, thanks pete...

I'll take the rack if it doesn't suit Pete.
Thanks

If u buy the rack, I suggest the following improvements:

1. weld gussets each side of the welded joints where long tubes attach to front and rear cross bars.This will prevent them coming apart when u don't want them to
2. weld a strengthening bracket onto (actually under) the 2 holding brackets that attach to the front of the body/front window as these r prone to fatigue cracks.

These will make the Kongo cage much stronger and reliable and also lessen movement a little.

3. I also bolt on 2 extra long pipes with fencing brackets as this adds a little strength and also helps to reduce vibration.

I have had a Kongo cage for 7+ years and it is still going strong, with these modifications.

Thanks for getting back to me humdingerslammer, sounds a bit complicated for me, I don't weld so prob out of my league.
