All of the pics and videos look great! Appreciate you guys posting them! One question I have is... Does the brightness of the LEDs ”drown” out the amber turn signal bulbs? It’s hard to really tell in the pics and vids. Can you (oncoming traffic) still clearly see them blinking when your turn signal is applied?

None that I'm aware of. I ordered headlights, fogs and switchback turn sigs for my SD, as well as headlights for my daughter's 2012 Wrangler. Total was nearly $750 before he gave me 10% off...at my urging.

There probably is a little scatter compared to LED from factory.
These are a night and day difference compared to the original, very yellow halogens. If you are looking to upgrade your halogen factory bulbs then this is one of the best ways to go IMO.

I was able to get everything installed this weekend. I did HR headlights, fogs, switchback turn signals, and license plate lights. The only thing I don’t care for is the fit of the turn signal bulbs into the factory bulb socket. The retention of the led bulb is not near as good as the stock halogen bulb and it made me nervous that it was going to pop out with normal vibrations of driving down the road. A little work with a dremel made it better, but the mold for the base of the GTR lighting bulb definitely needs some work.

As far as the install goes, I removed the grill like in the videos. It is easy enough.

So.. Just received my lights. They look pretty legit! Seems pretty straight forward install! But.. package comes with a small Allen wrench and instructions to remove housing from backside to install! Is this really necessary? Wondering who did it this way?
