Never happen. He's a perfectionist.
Figured. That picture was at a distance it looked like bondo -> And my brain said 'Nope, Blaine isn't having you bondo your Jeep.' But I couldn't figure out what you had brewing (and you didn't give us a trailer preview
The pictures are fucked up. You have to take the brightness and contrast past the point of being a good picture due to when you print them in the instructions, they are too dark. I'm showing a few of the almost 100 pictures I have taken to use for the instuctions. Thankfully I got them down to just 5 pages. I only have a general notes and contents page left.
How did this turn into an interior LED light thread? Now, back to the main topic. Product quality, down to the smallest details is amazing! No surprise there. Huge thanks to @mrblaine for the great work and time spent making these perfect.

Thank you, now go fix the gaps between the housing and the tub. To be clear, they are not the best and they aren't perfect, but they are better than average.
It isn't very full, they have a drain hole in the bottom.
The reverse lights are slightly better than the ones on the Savvy lights and pretty good for a tail light.
No, the kit doesn't include the plate light which is LED as well. The tail lights do include the harness an connector for the plate light. Too many folks don't run the license plate in the stock location to make them pay for relocator kit with light and then have to toss it. It will be an add on option.
My only problem with PC is it adds cost on both ends and then it gives me a big headache with warranty claims. If the parts arrive with a scratch in the PC, folks want another one that isn't scratched. That means I have to protect them far more than normal and that burns up space, time, and packing material. PC will double the cost of the kit to the end user.
Doing them in aluminum would be far better and get them done in the same UV black but the price of that is so high now that the cost isn't worth it.

I might have dropped it, but it only bounced a little bit.
Man my wishlist of BMB parts is getting longer. These look great!
It only looks that way. I have to strike a balance between what I want and what it costs. I would change some things but they drive the cost up way too much so I have to settle for the most effective way of getting most of what I want.
My wife had me drive the Jeep to her job this morning so she could see the lights and take pictures. She loved them.

I will.
I told my wife you would notice anything I did wrong and let me know. I was trying not to overtighten things before I made sure they worked, and I didn't screw something up. Your instructions (and help) were excellent.

That looks really good. Need a shot at night showing the plate light working.

They look even better in person. I rarely "buy" a product and check out the quality of the workmanship that goes into making it. I looked at everything for an hour before I HAD to install them. I have no patience.
Hopefully you noticed the marker lights are retained with nylon set screws that won't rust or corrode in place so they can be changed later if needed. They are also purposely slotted because the Allen style strip out with almost no turning effort.

These look so good! Blaine has really outdone himself on these. I was content sticking with my factory lights for a bit and now there's these!

Tires off center, license plate is wrong (LOSTVIRGINITY), Red McCombs I knew, and stop showing me your butt crack, but your wife is right about the lights.
I’m in for these, I just need to get past the tranny swap. I feel like the swap is a giant Turkey on my plate that is blocking everything else. So, lights next year for me. They look incredible, and the billet housing will look so good with my Jeep.
You forgot one thing. While installing the lights I noticed my Va registration expires this month. Another $40 for decals from the state.

Looks great, Boogie.
Thank God aka (Mrblaine) someone is still making stuff for our TJs. He could have just as easily went the new Jeep route to make a buck.
