    Upgrading hood latches

    Well, it can not be done. At least it can't be done AND look good, or right. I purchased a set. The way the "base" or lower piece mounts is different from a TJ to a JK.

    3rd Brake Light

    Have someone depress the brake, and check those 2 contacts for power. And, no I've never heard of it being problematic.
