      They definitely look cool, but they were a little too bright for me when driving at night. I ended up replacing them with incandescent bulbs.

    keep an eye on your indicators, i installed those same sylvania bulbs in mine a couple years ago and the bulb in the T-case indicator actually got hot enough to start to melt the plastic part with the 2hi, 4hi etc on it.

    LEDs have a certain polarity ritght? Like you said, one way they don't turn, in that case you just flip them, but when I swapped my shift bulb for an LED elecrical problems started to show... the battery dried out, and for example I also changed the headlights, they are always on, since they use less coltage they "feedback" and they are kept on... do you need to change the relays so this doesn't happen or have you heard or had any problems like mine???

    I will say the superbrights are nice during an overcast day, but i've regularly had to dim my interior lights come night time. I'm thinking of finding a lower lumen option eventually, as i like the slight color change and general increase in visibility, but the superbrights were definitely excessive for my preference.

    • @KCars

    I was searching for how to pull out that light socket since the light is dead. I hope.
    The light died after my 1.5 year old kid, who sat om Mommy lap, accidentally kicked my coffee cup and some coffee went down there... 😱
    I think the LED is too bright for driving in complete darkness....
    I changed the diode the previous owner had put at the gear changer to an original light bulb.
    Maybe I find an LED with less lumen.
    I have all Coupe lights in white LED. It looks amazing.
    Plus, the LED's doesn't emit heat, have more lumen per watt so they are using very little power.

    When you lifted the XJ, did you install a transfer case drop kit to keep your drive line as straight as possible? If not, that would be a very large reason for your shaking and shuddering. If you did then the SYE should fix it for you. Doing a transfer case drop kit install prior the SYE would be the best case scenario.

    • @KCars
      @KCars  3 роки тому

      No I didn’t do the drop kit. The shaking issue didn’t happen after I got it lifted though, it developed after a few months of the lift kit being installed and I noticed it right after I got it back from the body shop. Is it possible that when the body shop put it up on the lift, something got messed up that could’ve caused that?

    • @EigerSummitOffroad
      @EigerSummitOffroad 3 роки тому

      @@KCars it's possible. Drop kits are very inexpensive and take very little time to install. I'd do that, drive it for a few days to see if you still get the shuddering. If so, your driveline is healthier regardless and the SYE will more than likely do the trick.

    • @KCars
