Upgraded DRLs to LED & Added BadgeGlow for turn signals

[sblaine]

Finally got around to upgrading my Halogen DRLs to Mopar LED DRLs.
It took a little longer than I thought, and I used more tools/supplies than I thought.
Used zipties, black electrical tape, some wire connectors, and some black corrugated wire split tubing.
I ended up removing my two front wheels to have more room.

While I had everything apart, it was a good time to install my 2 BadgeGlows.
I deleted my antenna, got a small 12" marine antenna, and hid it in the passenger side pillar.
This freed up the passenger side for a 2nd badge glow.
BadgeGlow says you have to drill, but I didn't have to do any drilling.

I also went with 2 new black Trail Rated badges, and removed the stock silver one.
I decided to wire the BadgeGlows into my turn signals, and I am really happy with the result.
I tied the red wire from the badge glow into the white/green wire, and the black to black.

It was totally worth it.
Now I just need to upgrade my headlights to LED.

when you go for the headlights, take a look at the Oracle lights. A little cheaper than OEM and I've been happy with them so far.

Thanks for the tip. I definitely want to go with their new flush taillights that are coming too!

That doesn’t affect reception?

how is the reception?
looks great. I think the amber would make a nice accent on my nacho

also whenever you get time could I see a night shot?

It actually hasn’t.
Ive done this delete and move antenna mod on my last 3 Jeeps.
Has worked great every time.

May be a stupid question, but did you go to a shorty antenna or the factory? I’m guessing the factory antenna is too long... Looks good though! That’s why I am curious. I may have to do this!

Bought a 12” marine antenna from Academy Sports for like $10.

Looks great! I think I may do this, where did you get the badge lights and are their YouTube videos online?

it’s pretty simple. Just 2 wires. I just tied in to my turn signals. Hope this helps.
