[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 426816, member: 18789"] LED Headlights, JW speaker are a great option. I don't have them but I want them. I opted for Hella H4 E-Codes for now though. They're super bright with relays added to handle their needed amperage. Tail lights, Savvy LEDs are the absolute best. Some caveats come with them though. They don't have any way of lighting up the license plate, so you have to add a license plate light. Great, easy enough. There aren't a lot of good license plate lamp options on the market and I'm picky about stuff like that. Then, you have to figure out a way to run the wiring to not be like a hack job on the flip down license plate bracket. I opted to move my license plate to the spare tire carrier and routed the wiring through the third brake light wiring area. Since you don't have a third brake light on your 93, you'd have to figure that one out yourself. Don't bother with side markers or front turn signals. They will cause all sorts of wonky issues in your dash cluster lighting and side markers won't work properly at all. The side markers use a floating ground which means they pull their wiring off of the front parking lamps and they alternate which wire they pull power from as they flash either with headlights on or off. When I put LEDs in my front turn signals on the grille, they made it to where my dash turn signal indicators lit up with my headlights being on. It was very annoying. If you add LED tail lights, you will need the special Tridon EL12 flasher. Easy plug and play solution. Hope these pics help. They do not do the lit up lights justice, but it's the best I can show. They are big attention getters for sure. I would not be happy with any other product. Pardon my lack of the rear end setup. I am in the midst of a big conversion. Adding an ARB single action bumper/tire carrier, a new license plate LED made for motorcycle plates, new tires, wheels, and a bunch of other crap. In the midst of the bumper install so the rear of my Jeep is very non indicative of my final setup. But at least you can see the lights. I still run a third brake light also which is the 94-95 factory unit that illuminates above the spare tire. ARB carrier supports it thankfully.
