Every other section has this stickied so I thought I would start one. Forgive me if its in there already but I could not find it.
Anyway here's what I did.
After removing the different cover for a routine fluid change I decided to paint the cover, it needed a little touching up so I thought I would go ahead and paint it red. I already had some farm equipment paint on hand, I'm pretty sure it will hold up to any temps that might be reached.

Hi, are these bulbs plug and play? Direct fit and function at same temp. Reason I ask I once put a sylvania bulbs in a prior vehicle and they ran hot and burnt up the connector.
Yes they are plug and play (H13 for 2013 Jeep- make sure of the correct bulb for your year Jeep). I mis-spoke though. They are Philips X-treme Power 9008 (not Ultra- I got so excited :)). Here is the link to Amazon. For $29 you can't go wrong:

Be sure to not touch the bulbs with bare hands or it will degrade the bulb.

Thanks! Just read the amazon sale. Looks like a better bulb with white light! Not the jeep standard yellow or those fake blue HID look! Also, over $800 less than the speaker led kits! More in line with my budget. Going to give them a try. Thanks again.

Well, to be fair, the new bulb will not give you anywhere near the performance of the Speaker kits. Don't expect a dramatic improvement. It's better than what you have, yes, but it's not THAT much better... lol

I found out that the best way to get a guilt trip from your mother is to show up at your parents' house with your $35k, 8 1/2 month old Jeep COMPLETELY covered in mud with weeds and the better part of a whole plant hanging from your suspension left over from wheeling the past Sunday. PERSONALLY, I think our Jeeps look better dirty. But I caved and gave her a nice wash and wax. She deserved it though and looks amazing!

Ha, I wish I had a picture of when it was covered in mud. It looked awesome. But I absolutely love the variety of colors the Dozer has. It looks so different in different lighting, when it's waxed and clean or covered in mud, in the sunrise and in twilight. By far my favorite color.

BTW, "It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand." will not end the guilt trip any sooner, haha
