Re: 68 Four door build

Well I was at a swap meet the other day and look at what I found .
these are out of a new jeep and they fit into my original buckets and are very bright, they do have a hole in them that I will use for a turn signal as well.

In Bills case it doesn't happen in 2920 nights. In my case it took over 9855 nights and still counting.

I just posted this from my blackberry. Went to your thread, clicked "post reply", then clicked on "manage attachments", then "browse". Found a pic in my phone, in my case it was media card/blackberry/camera to get to my pictures. Funny thing for me is that I had to add this text on the PC because it would not let me click in the text plain to work there. Just had the mag glass for zoom showing. Hope this helps.

Re: 68 Four door build

hgs...I feel better now

I love the looks of the Jeep lights. I'll be keeping my eyes open for then too as I get nearer on the 70.

Re: 68 Four door build

Are the Jeep lights glass & metal or plastic?

Re: 68 Four door build

Nice score. Are those from Libertys? I need to find some thing for my Longhorn. Dim lights stink.

Re: 68 Four door build

These are available too and is what I had planned for mine. I think they are also available in the smaller GMC size too.

I've used them on several other vehicles. They are a nice product with aluminum reflectors and glass lenses so they are durable unlike the plastic ones that get scratched and hazy over time.

You can get a street legal H4 bulb with 55 watt low and 60 watt high beam to fit them or an off road version of the H4 bulb with a street legal 55 watt low beam but a blinding 100 watt high beam. I ran the 100's on my 78 K20 and they were unreal.

You really have to upgrade to a relay power system with heavy gauge wiring to take advantage of them.

No, the iPhone doesn't seem to support uploading photos from the device itself. You can use photobucket or urls. And to answer your question about the battery, it cannot be removed easily. It requires removing the back cover and that voids your warranty. Hope this helps. (oh and by the way, I posted this with my iPhone.)

Re: 68 Four door build

Seems wierd, take your battery out of the phone, hold down the power button for 30 seconds, then put the battery back in and try it again.
