Post subject:  Half a million candlepower, for FREE!

almost, anyway. A friend of mine (on XBox Live!) works for Grote Ind. I mentioned that my backup lights weren't bright enough one night and he sent me some LED tail lights for a CJ/TJ/YJ. I couldn't figure out how to make them work on a KJ so I donated them to my local 4x4 club for a prize in last year's competition. I told him about it (they were the best prize last year. 1st annual, club just starting up, etc...) and asked him if Grote would be willing to sponsor our 2nd annual event. Within minutes he'd generously agreed. And told me that I could have first pick of the "care package" since I'd given away the first lights he gave me. I probably should have taken the PerLux LED work lamps (2 spots, 2 floods), but, they're rectangular and I really want to have only round lights so I took these

I'll take some pics of the Jeep itself tomorrow when there daylight but here's the test run pics (understand these are with a free crappy camera):

I may have taken the cheapest (midwayautosupply.com has them for $30 each) of all the lights I was sent for the prizes but, I'm more than happy with them. Although, one of those tri-pod spotlights is starting to look real tempting. And I need to do that fog and hi-beam mod.

Wow, I must have been a little tuned last night. Sorry about the huge pics. I'll fix those tonight when I have more time.
