These KC HiLiTES 20 Watt LED Lights Model 653 we picked up from Quadratec have metal housings that have a classic look on a CJ.  Either the stainless or black will compliment the front of a Jeep.  The modern LED lights use much less power then their old school incandescent bulb counterparts.  On the heels of a Warn VR10-S Winch installation we installed a set of these on the jeepfan.com 1978 CJ-5 and they just blend right in.

The lights come with pre-terminated weatherproof ends and a wiring harness.  The Olympic rock bumper was pre-drilled for extra lights and these fit just in place beside the winch mount.

The lights mount using an integrated bolt with rubber isolators that protect the bumper finish as well as keep the lights where they belong.

The yellow covers are like an old school emoji and are very cool but just don’t go well with the Jeep’s gold-ish color.  They will be left off.

In the coming weeks the wiring installation section will be included.
