    The crappy gas mileage after putting on a MOPAR 4" lift and 35's on it......LOL. Averaged 10.9 on the highway and well under 10 in the city. The navigation was truly prehistoric too!
    It was an impulsive buy, great vehicle, just impractical for what we needed.

    Heading outside for LED install now.

    Or maybe you bought them all! Or spurned a buying frenzy at least. You should get points or something.

    We're too much alike! In the past year: traded my S550 for a 2017 Ford Explorer Sport. Traded the Sport for an F-150 Platinum. traded the F-150 for the Rubicon, Rubicon for the Tacoma. I just traded in my 2016 Z06 for a 2018 Mustang GT because I thought it was gonna be more practical. Now it has a Roush Phase 2 blower and 20K in other crap on it and it's not enough.

    My wife LITERALLY wants to shoot me! Meanwhile I have her stuck in a new Kia Forte that she actually picked out......LOL. She got rear-ended a couple weeks ago so before it hits the Carfax we're trading it in this week. She deserves a better car anyway!

    Off to install LED's!!!

    Man I am stunned that these aren't available right now. I emailed the manufacturer and asked why. That's crazy and I'm sure after Dave posts his everyone is going to want them.

    Install complete! Took me 30 minutes and that's with using some zip ties to make things look pretty and moving the washer fluid tank to get to the passenger side low beam. Picture does no justice. I'll get some pictures tonight with the high beams and then the low beams with fogs on and upload them. These things literally blinded me when I looked into them. I'm still seeing spots.....lol

    WAY COOL! Can't wait to see the night pics! So how hard is it to remove that washer fluid reservoir? I was wondering about that. And the battery is not in the way at all? I was thinking since I am vertically challenged and have so much girth I would just remove the grill to make things easier.

    Man!!! Wait till night time!

    I guarantee that you will be amazed. Did you upgrade from other LED's or OEM halogen? If you upgraded directly from OEM halogen your going to flip. The difference is going to be crazy. Yeah I cant believe H11 isn't showing available anymore. I bet it comes back.

    Washer fluid reservoir is simply (2) 10mm bolts and you can move it right out of your way. Battery is not in the way at all. The Low and high beams are cake to get to as long as you're at least 5 feet tall......lol. As for the fog light bulbs I'm 6'1" and it was pretty easy to reach down through the top and get to them. Removing the grill looks as simple as a few 10mm bolts!

    Can't wait to see them. Upgraded from the OEM halogens. Thanks again for all your input on this post!

    Sorry Man! I hope they'll be in stock soon for you.

    Grill removal takes about 30 seconds. Two 8mm or 10mm bolts (cant remember exactly) and two black clips. Clips pop out with a small flat head screwdriver. Super easy and does make the fogs easier to get to. However, the fogs can be done just like @BlazingTaco18 said. I'm 6'2" though so someone shorter may have issues.
