    Low beam failure that wasn’t the switch

    At $92 for that bag, I’m good with electrical tape! That’s more than twice what the headlight upgrade and better bulbs cost me. In all seriousness I’ve already replaced the pigtail with a better one and used heat shrink butt splices on it. I cannot get the headlights to hit what I consider the...

    Toyota lights on your TJ! Cheap, quality LED alternative

    Make sure the tabs on the back of the glass housing are lined up well, and not sitting crooked and holding it out of reach

    Bestop questions

    Thanks! I was only looking at the twill version on quadratec before, which links to the part number that Bestop says is not the nx. I’m actually planning to buy next spring when the hardtop comes off which is why I was concerned they have discontinued the NX. At least it’s still available though...

    Bestop questions

    I’ve been checking out Quadratec, Extreme Terrain, etc, and comparing part numbers this morning and it seems most sellers are still calling the top the NX and listing the sunrider feature even though part numbers when checked on Bestop’s page are not the NX and don’t have that feature. After the...

    Bestop questions

    In my searches here I have not seen it discussed yet, that apparently Bestop has discontinued the Trektop NX and only shows the Trektop Slantback. https://www.bestop.com/products/trektop-slantback-soft-top/?vid=18684 Their webpage designer could definitely do better, and there is no mention of...

    Spot or flood / spread lighting?

    I’ve been considering adding cubes to the front bumper, one spot and one flood. Usually on most of my rigs that have LEDs I have relayed them from a switch run to a high beam input, so they require two inputs to light and breaking either one stops the light.

    Low beam failure that wasn’t the switch

    By the time you get a piece big enough to fit over the spade connector it won’t shrink enough to tighten up on the wire. I have a spare headlight connector here that I will splice in when I finish tidying it all up but didn’t have it at the shop.

    Low beam failure that wasn’t the switch

    Last weekend my bride and I were out for a cruise in our ‘06 and I noticed we only had high beams. They are the stock headlights so nobody we met seemed to notice. I ordered the Toyota kit ($27 shipped!!!) and picked up a multifunction switch from Zone so I could upgrade and repair all at once...

    New member from Arkansas

    I've been a member for a few months, learned a lot about what to look for and future plans, and finally got my new-to-me Jeep home last night. 2006 TJ X, 4.0 with 6 speed manual and 250,000+ miles. Ridiculously clean underneath and has been a pavement princess it's whole life. Doesn't even...
