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 :JEEPIN:

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.

How do you like the red leds? I tried some in the footwells but they were very dim.

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.

Digger wrote some "how-tos" in the KK Tech Section for dash diassembly. You may want to check them out.
