Foreword: This write up is offered as a guide line only. There is no such thing as perfect instructions and thus this write up requires you to use some common sense. This write is also offers no implied or un-implied guarantee. If by using this write up your outcome is less than desirable, I or anyone else connected with this write up cannot be held liable. Also, always wear eye protection. Most people that do their own modifications think this is a joke, do not take this lightly. I can tell you stories of what I have seen happen, but this is not necessary we are adults, I hope. In addition, it is your responsibility to check all local and national laws that apply to this modification.

 

This modification will help so that, you don’t brake the lights off when you are Hi-Lifting your Jeep. I have broken mine already once. It will also give a longer lasting bulb and provides a cool look.

 

Note:

The license plate light is not where I wanted it to be in my modification. For this reason, during the write up I will give suggestions/ideas on how to change it, where to locate it. By the time I realized where it was, it was too late. So for now we will go through step-by-step on how to do it.
