Luckily I did opt for the trail cam and switches.
In 2009 I got one of the first Ford Raptor’s. First time out I blasted up a pretty steep hill. I created it headlights pointed at the sky. I had know idea if the road went straight left or right. Luckily it went straight and then left when I got the front end down low enough to see. I went right back to the dealer and had them install a trailcam. So it was a must have for my Gladiator. Also the switch kit is a great option. Makes adding new electronic pieces a piece of cake. I have heard ordering all the pieces is expensive. Happy wheeling.

Are there any better (brighter) halogen bulbs? I don’t hate the halogens—but a little brighter would be better.

The aux switches are cheap to add, under $300, the pain in the ass is wire routing.

That's okay. Lol. I've answered it for myself for the most part.
When I have started threads like this that are resolved, I usually ask the admin to lock them, but that’s me. Dead horses end up smelling up the place. :) again, my opinion.

100% you will. Every time my wife drives our wrangler at night, she talks crap about the headlights, and makes a point to as if the high beams are working.

Yep. I am starting to wonder if I will regret not getting the LED'S on my recently ordered JTRD. I had given consideration to getting the steel front bumper but also had to get the KED package as well. My thoughts at the time was that I was planning on getting the Oracle heated Oculus headlights along with the Oracle taillights, reverse lights and fog lights.

However since I have placed my order I have started reading up a little more on the forum about their products and the issues they have had. I had mainly not wanted the factory package due to no heated headlight. So now I am thinking I may regret my decision here.
Nothing wrong with the halogens...
Haters commence...

Don’t know if this has been mentioned but all interior lighting is upgraded as well, with the LED package.

I had JW Speaker EVO J3 on my JK, they were fantastic! I had intended on ordering with the halogen and was going to fit the J3 in, then looked into it a little deeper and realized all that came with the LED upgrade and made sure to include on my order.
I ordered a Ruicon Gladiator with the LED light package. Will it come with LED interior lights?

Not a problem for me. I’m 48 and my vision isn’t perfect, but I don’t require correction for driving and I have no issue with factory Halogens. Seriously, considering that my first driver was a ‘71 cj5, these Halogens work great IMO! I’m sure the LED’s are brighter, but they certainly aren’t required and those complaints about how the Halogens are terrible are grossly and dramatically exaggerated IMO.

22 Sport S with Halogens. Zero regrets about not getting leds. Mine seem to work great.

Now, no passive entry doors....that I regret and have added to my list.
