Had a little free time so I decided to finally wire/install LED signals for the Jeep.

3 wire into two: 1-1/2 w resistor, 2 diodes for each harness. look how tiny they had to be compared to the pliers in the pic. I think I'm the soldering master now after all that.



Red LED dash and gauge lights.


Finished w/ an extra running light in the fenderwell.

Appreciate it! They are 33x12.5.

I also ordered almost every replacement LED bulb for the car so I should be doing this shortly, just figured I'd get warmed up on the wiring in the jeep haha.

Yea but do you need to use a lot on these pads or something? I didn't put any more/less than I have on disc brakes in the past. Maybe I just need to pop them off and re-do it.

Maybe. I find that a nice thorough wash after installing new brakes helps. The old dust sticks around for a few.

I think that the akebono pads might be just a little bit physically bigger than the factory pads and they are hitting the little ring of rust on the rear rotor? I might take them off and run them by the bench grinder a couple times to slim them down length wise.
