Marker Grille Light Mod

Ordered some amber LED marker lights from SuperbrightLEDs.com... Installed them in the grille, wired to the side marker lights. Pretty easy & cheap mod and looks badass IMO.

Also got some Rigid Amber light covers for the Duallys, not really sure if I like them... looks more yellow than orange.

Headlights

I just bought a 2015 Limited last Wednesday and I'm head over heals in love with it. I just put in some new headlights. Not sure how much I like them :( Has anybody here put in LED's with their projector style lights? I'm worried about burning light. :painkiller:

LED's are a bad idea in any halogen or HID designed application. LED bulbs are not simply substitutes for normal headlight bulbs. They will appear bright to look at but provide no safe or useful light for you.
 
Ordered:
-a Trasharoo...finally
-swapped out my top rotopax fuel containers for water containers (now that I have the rear jerry can).

Picking up another set of Rigid Duallies for the bumper, and a bigger Odyssey battery for the engine.

Question for you guys with "stuff" packed in the front grill: Does it affect engine and AC cooling by blocking the airflow over the radiator? I'm in California, so with 100+ F outside the climate under the hood is "quite tropical". This is one of the reasons I wouldn't install LED in headlights as LED cooling does not exist under the hood. I really mean it - it gets over 150 F behind the headlight.

On the same topic I wonder how efficient is the LED Light Bar cooling when it is placed so close to the radiator. Especially when driving at slow speed there is not much airflow there and the air temperature is close to the boiling point.
