So this weekend I tackled the headlight upgrade. Man what a fast and simple upgrade that is well worth the funds. Here is a few pics.
The LMC Truck harness
http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m639/sellitx/97%20Jeep/97647da8-25ec-4abc-90fd-4d12e67f7762_zpsb194fc5c.jpg (http://s1135.photobucket.com/user/sellitx/media/97%20Jeep/97647da8-25ec-4abc-90fd-4d12e67f7762_zpsb194fc5c.jpg.html)
New light installed
http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m639/sellitx/97%20Jeep/20131026_101042_zps5d364f3e.jpg (http://s1135.photobucket.com/user/sellitx/media/97%20Jeep/20131026_101042_zps5d364f3e.jpg.html)
So I forgot to take a pic with the harness installed ( I zip-tied the LMC harness to the factory harness)
http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m639/sellitx/97%20Jeep/20131026_101330_zps30c7035a.jpg (http://s1135.photobucket.com/user/sellitx/media/97%20Jeep/20131026_101330_zps30c7035a.jpg.html)
The relay location (used the cruise control mounting bolts)

The ground location (both sides)
http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m639/sellitx/97%20Jeep/20131026_110212_zpsb012de58.jpg (http://s1135.photobucket.com/user/sellitx/media/97%20Jeep/20131026_110212_zpsb012de58.jpg.html)
The positive location

Bad pic but you get the point

Yes, they should be good for 100K. I have never been impressed with RC bushings. They just seem to go too cheap on all of them.

I'm thinking about doing the motor mount mod to them

Nice work man, I've enjoyed looking through the pictures. What app are you all using for the OBD2 stuff. I can only deduct that it probably uses Bluetooth or wifi to your cell phone?
My cluster just has the dummy lights and it's driving me crazy not knowing what's really going on. but she keep going so I guess that's a plus..
Thanks
