Hello All. i just have a couple of questions about my KK lighting i really wanted to try out some different interior lights (such as brigntess and color) i was wondering how i would find out what the types of lights to buy, and how to get the covering off of the dome lights and by the handles. also about headlights. i wanted to know what peoples thoughts were on the best headlights i could buy for the KK. i really want brighter head lights and was interested in lights with a more yellow hue. and finally, sort of related, what are the tools i would need to dismantle a dashboard for the KK? are all Dash Removal Tools universal? |

Interior lights- i just finished converting all of my interior lights, license plate, and reverse lights to led's. There are many colors available but i chose white and love them. Go to sylvania's bulb guide online and buy the bulbs on ebay from china for way cheap. I would go with smd style leds. Interior lens removal- look at the lens closely. They is a tiny slot opening to get a small flat head screwdriver in there. You just gently pry them open. Headlamps- If you want yellow, i would make the fogs yellow and go with nokya pro yellow bulbs, or go with a ddm tuning hid conversion kit. Yellow is like 3500k or something like that. Sylvania silverstar bulbs for the headlights are another option. Dashboard disassembly- f if i know

Correction, almost all my interior lights, i didnt do those ones. Sorry. Have you tried taking one out and looking at it? Maybe a small wedge like the passenger reading lights and license plate? |

Has anyone put in those mopar interior accent lights? Part # 82211607AD Is it worth the price? Im not sure. But Im terrible with wiring and these seem like theyre completely plug and play besides a little drilling. Any thoughts? I dont mean to steal your thread. It just seems like them most appropriate place to ask this. |

I converted all my interior lights to red LED. I also did my reverse and license plate lights in white LED. Replaced heads and fogs with brighter bulbs as well (not led though). Blue-white 80W heads and yellow 55W fogs. |

I like them just fine I should've corrected myself, I put in white LEDS in the footwells. I at least need to be able to see if I drop something on the floor. And it looks a lot nicer. The red in the interior takes some getting used to. But it does help quite a bit. Especially if you drive at night alot.. Road trips and such. |
