I thought we needed the side marker lights(not grille side blinkers) here in CA? Well drive around some cops, and see what happens. But damn is that some fine lookin work. You've done 2 things that i've been wanting to do to my YJ so far.

yjwolf--you are correct. You are supposed to have reflectors (or lights) on the sides of the vehicle, near the front and again in the back. But, like many other laws (like it is illegal to remove the third brake light, tires can't stick out beyond the body, etc), it really isn't enforced unless you piss a cop off or find one that is having a bad hair day.

Chris--nice job! I like it! :8

I like the retro CJ idea, and the LED will make it even better looking.

Glad you guys like it.

I wasnt aware of the side marker issue. I guess I'll run around til I get a fix it ticket of something, then deal with it. The cops around here dont seem to mind much, unless you piss them off. :D

Looks good, Chris!! But I think you need to cut a little more off, like mine!! :D

BTW, did you do a tech right up on the license plate swap? :P
