I would like to clear up a few things. First, apologies are in order. I apologize first to those who I offended or insulted in this thread. That’s a bit out of character for me, and I’m sorry I took the bait. I reacted poorly, and I apologize for that. I am normally a bigger person than that...

Not choosing someone’s suggested option is not a sign of disrespect. But badmouthing someone else’s choice as inferior often is. It’s called tact, and basic respect for people we don’t know, whose choices may be based on different criteria than our own. Hope other newcomers here have a better...

Actually, I quoted you and answered. It is still a possibility, assuming I am eventually willing to spend that sort of money. Chances are, though, I would choose Halogen before heated led. But I did not ignore your solution by any means.

Considering the welcoming committee, Jerry, you’re probably right. I did not originate the snarkiness. Right at this moment, I’m dealing with a very busy life and a dying father I travel to care for every few weeks. I came here for help when needed, and to learn from people with a wide range of...

Thanks for the lightsplaining. A very tortured pathway you bunch have created to avoid paying the slightest attention to reason, logic, or evidence. It’s called cognitive dissonance, and people do it all the time so they don’t have to admit their assumptions are wrong. Not that I don’t trust...

Then why does this list Country of Origin as “China”? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007K8AA7I/?tag=wranglerorg-20

My employer manufactures nearly all of our products FOR the US market IN the US market. We are well aware of the tactics used by Chinese companies and the CCP. We deal with it every day. Ours is a worldwide company with revenues approximating $40bn USD. We are a target. And yet, we somehow find...

Did you even look at it? Or did you simply jump up to defend your preconceived notions?

At this point, I’m just enjoying the fact I have given you the answers, and you’re still failing the tests.

So, turns out, there is a good study done on led lights for Jeeps. Doesn’t necessarily solve my particular issue, but certainly addresses the light pattern issue.

Now THIS is a respectful and useful criticism. Well said.

So, you knew all along you paid 375 bucks for the same ”cheap Chinese knock-offs”? Or did you just learn that because I pointed it out? Or, are you still pretending your lights are different because they’re “made in USA”, and supposedly better than that “cheap Chinese copy”? And then you...

Possible, but much more likely they are identical lights, and some are simply private labeled for Truck-lite. Here’s why: Check out the two Amazon ads. Identical description wording. Both are made in China. On their own website, Truck-lite lists country of Origin as “ZZ”. Technically, that...

Went thru something similar with my 06 a few years ago. Came orig from Philly. By the time I bought it, it had the necessary parts, but the two mini cats were empty cans. Had a local muffler shop replace them, and the smog inspection shop re-tested, and passed it. Muffler shop was in...

I think I might eventually do the halogen flood lights thing. Maybe KC. Always liked their daylighters and their commitment to off roading. At the moment, I’m committed to massive spending on Search and Rescue gear, as I’ll be using the Jeep for that purpose. It forces me to be fully prepared...
