    ridiculously easy... You do have to work in a tight space, so you’ll need one of those small nubby Philips head screwdrivers, but each light only has one screw... The other side has two notches that slide into place...

    Total install took about 20 minutes, lights came from Amazon...

    Looks good.

    Any noticeable output difference?

    Much better than Stock housing with LED bulbs, which basically just looked like a spotlight and spread light everywhere blinding people...

    beam is narrower and bright... I really like them... To be fair, not as good as a morimoto or high end light, but for the money it’s a great value

    oh and they’re adjustable, so you can move that beam up or down...

    Oh, I thought you opened them up to black them out, like a headlight BHLM since you said the headlights would be next

    Still looks good though

    Changed out the stock springs to 650lb springs. Now the front doesn’t sag under the weight of the bumper and winch.

    I've been thinking about relocating my media port too, but worried about the size of the switch hole. It looks that the media port is a different size than the typical "large"/"small" switches. What did you do with the space where your media port was located?

    Destickered the bed. I kinda liked the stickers on Cement tacos, but the clean look is growing on me. Some black badges could definitely help.

    I installed a Lomax tri-fold hard cover yesterday. Thanks to Luke @truckalter for the hookup and great price. If you are considering one of these, contact him before ordering! Ordered it on Monday and it was at my house yesterday.

    I love the low profile of this cover and how easy it was to install.

    Installed Bartact front seat covers, really solid covers made in the USA. I have them on my Jeep as well. Highly recommend. Bartact.com

    Thanks so much... I evidently didn’t do something right like probably fat 32 or maybe then max #of files... but will try again as it’s handy to have a s load of files on a thumb drive for random playing.... thanks!

    Snug top Bed cap with Yakima rack, UpTop Bravo cab rack, BA 4x4 Hiline front bumper with Badlands Apex winch and Rough Country 20" light bar

    I installed that same bumper. The trimming only hurts for second. I used an oscillating cutter for the rough cut per recommendations I've seen and a rotary tool with a sanding drum for the finish. I recommend that approach. The oscillating cutter slices through bumper covers like a hot damn.
