I have Led tail lights and am using a Rhino grille on the front of my rig. I was wanting a clean look. I found these and really like them. It will keep a clean look on the front with the Gladiator front. I have seen them in a few jeep Magazines. http://www.yogisinc.com/Detail.cfm/-...1C/product.htm
Interesting concept - thanks for posting.
That's interesting. What are you going to put in place of the stock B/O turn signals? Covers like the Rhino front civvy models or some kind of driving lights?
The factory Civ covers with fog lights mounted in the center of them.
Cool idea.
I like it.
Please post up a few pictures when you get it done. Sounds like it's going to look pretty darned cool!
I want to put some high power driving lights in my BO light sockets. And those lights would make it easier.
I don't like the 9001 bulb choices you get though.
And for that kind of cash, you can buy the Hella conversion setups, and figure out a better LED turn signal.

Best page for most options and a good price.
Those are the headlights I have in mine...though with Hellas 24V bulbs...I have the part number somewhere on the old Yahoo board archive....
Found it....Hella number for 24 Volt H4 headlight bulb:
64196
Fits in a housing that fits the stock M715 headlight location...housing is number:
79562
How do you like the light pattern from them, and did you get the DOT version or the Euro version?
I love the light pattern...these are the non DOT at the time I bought them...1998 or so...they didnt have it in the DOT spec then.
Its easier to explain with pics but I dont have any right now....what the light pattern does is:
On low beam, the light comes out of half the lens, it stays down on the road and because of the lines cut into the lens, it has a very distinct flat cutoff to the light out there in front. On the edge of the lens, the lines are angled and so the light coming out is angles up at the side of the road in order to help read road signs farther down the road.
The benefit here is the low beam acts like a driving or fog light to some extent...when its snowing like mad, I have much better vision in the truck than my other vehicles...easy....
Cinch to adjust too...with that dead flat line across the top of the light...I can actually pull up to cars in the truck and the light wont be in their rear window...but it shines an impressive distance down the road.
On high beam....simply amazing. It is dark enough at my place to see the Milky Way and Andromeda with the naked eye. Its dark...and there are lots of deer...good lights are mandatory.
With these, I not only light up the road brilliantly...I can light reflectors at over 1.5 miles...but it lights up both ditches and 15-20 feet up the tress on both sides with very white light. You dont want me to flash my brights at you....
Due to the intensity of the highs, I have a much better view of the road and the area that deer may run out from...peolple have passed me on the road, then slowed down and let me pass because they cant see anywhere near as well as my lights allow them to even though they are behind me...this has happened a few times in rain, snow, and in clear conditions where people followed me for 20-50 miles. Once when we went up north, about 150 miles each way, on the way home at night, my wife was following us and people would try to get around us...only to drop back behind me afterward...so then she had to keep jockeying to keep me in sight as we had about 6 or 7 vehicles doing this....and of course I wasnt going faster then 60...if they could have seen better, they would have gone ahead...
On low, real good lighting and arouses no suspicion as t being out of the ordinary...except that flat line...most never notice...
On high...plenty for any situation without doubt.
