Yeah, I don't think there's anything else. I was debating about doing the Diode Dynamics LED headlights, but honestly the OEM are "OK". Plus, my experience with Diode Dynamics on the Mudstain were less than stellar.
I'm quite underwhelmed by the stock headlights. I swapped mine to Morimoto 2 Strokes and they work pretty well...for LED. I'd probably do HIDs if doing it again...LED's just don't project that far. Definitely worth the upgrade IMO.
Hmm, they seem "OK" for halogens. definitely not as yellow as I expected for the light output.

Have you seen how a HID looks in the OEM housing?

The first time I was out in the middle of nowhere with just the stock lights, it was bad. I couldn't see anything.

My LEDs look fantastic. Super sharp cut-off, they just don't fill in light that far. It's weird, they'll light up street signs for a mile it seems, but there's not much useful light being projected. HIDz are better for this, but I haven't experienced HIDz in these housings.

[user not found] and fled were suggesting that I toss in some Morimoto LED fogs in my OEM housings. They work really well on the Bro-Forks.

Interesting thought. I don't have fog lights to test that in, otherwise I would.

Oh right, that part of the fascia is removed on the Zed-Arr Dos.

Oh, so the JL seems to have showed up at the dealer last night even though the salesman had no idea, and Jeep corporate still thinks it is sitting in Marion, Ohio. Salesman was PISSED to say the least about the communication.

Going to go investigate it tomorrow morning and pick it up if it looks okay.

Pics from pissed off salesman:

Gotta keep you guys interested.

Life is all about the ratings and keeping viewers coming back for more.

Lesson 04 taken from Last Humanz Gay-rage.

Daddy needs another case of frozen peas for the crotch fruit. Keep those Youtube checks rolling in.

ZR1 would be a good upgrade from your janky Z06. When confronted by the wife, just tell her you lost more than that gambling.

Nah, I'm using that for the Mid Engine car. The ZR1 buys me nothing other than the name over my Z06/Z07.
