    Fender Flares 2003 Jeep liberty FREEDOM edition

    2003 Jeep liberty FREEDOM edition Someone backed into me in a parking lot. The mechanic says he can get the fender. He can't find the flare. Any ideas on where to get the fender flare? It's a special design for the FREEDOM edition. I don't like them since they break easily and look...

    Brighter Lights for Dark Sky Ordinances in Arizona and Riverside County

    Thanks and yes you did ! This company in Phoenix, below, is a heritage business to the area that does installs of everything electronic, and was very concerned about "mail order HID lights in general," claiming that the ballasts go out. End the constant search? Forgive me, or laugh at me, for...

    Brighter Lights for Dark Sky Ordinances in Arizona and Riverside County

    This is the original poster and NAPA Street Glow Part-Xenon 55W lights made a slight difference ($22 a pair). Way cheaper than the Sylvania Silverstars. (None of these from o'reilly, auto zone, or napa, are 100% Xenon, as that would require a ballast, which NONE of them offer. Deceptive...

    It's protective steel to prevent from getting killed by a deer. I'm not taking it off. I see 35W Xenon lights, on cyclists, unshielded, and they are not illegal. I have no reason to suspect that 55W shielded vehicular Xenon lights would be illegal in the desert dark sky ordinance areas...

    Brighter Lights for Dark Sky Ordinances in Arizona and Riverside County

    Interesting about the animals, since bicyclists use 35W HID (Xenon) lights while others use LED's - The bicyclists in this area are in teams of 4 to 50, and blind oncoming cars with their Xenon lights. So it may be that in 10 years down here, we're going to see everybody's lights competing with...

    Brighter Lights for Dark Sky Ordinances in Arizona and Riverside County

    Your lights on top of the car would be illegal in AZ, since they are not below 54" - Unless you're off road, of course. Also, it's always interesting to discuss California's silly regulations, such as their strict rule that any lights mounted on top of vehicles (as you have) must be covered...

    Brighter Lights for Dark Sky Ordinances in Arizona and Riverside County

    Because someone improperly installed the front brush guard, then total light is cut back 20%, no matter what lights are in there. So that may be the reason. I want to make sure there will be no issues with the HID's burning the wiring harnass. I'm going to have my mechanic look at it, and...

    Brighter Lights for Dark Sky Ordinances in Arizona and Riverside County

    It's because there are no streetlights on busy roads, along with lots of cyclists, pedestrians, Javelinas, and deer. If there were streetlights like you have back east (Or, like in my native Washington State), then it wouldn't be an issue So I totally agree with you.

    Brighter Lights for Dark Sky Ordinances in Arizona and Riverside County

    Thanks for the pictures - Your photo is equal to "The brightest" upgrades that I have seen here in Maricopa County. Motorcylists, also upgrade. Others, that would be less bright, are the newer cars. Some people upgrade with Phillips and Sylvania Silverstars, but I doubt that they are bright...

    Dear jeeplib05, The private messaging service stopped working. If you email privately again I'll probably get it. But for some reason, I can't email you back. Since the fog lights are plastic housing, would they melt with 55W bulbs ??? The regular lights are glass housing. I'm going to have...

    Reason why Lights are Dark FOUND ! You're correct! I looked again today, and here's the reason ! The previous owner installed a Brush Guard that was possibly installed incorrectly ! IT seems to be too small. It is preventing the main lights from properly illuminating THE SIDES of the...

    Brighter Lights for Dark Sky Ordinances in Arizona and Riverside County

    Yes in terms of horrible headlights for a hundred years. However, in areas of the Southwest with "Dark Sky Ordinances," when you have a busy street with lots of cars blinding you with newer lights + cyclists and pedestrians on the street, then it's dangerous. Best to upgrade - to something...

    These NAPA bulbs are Xenon. Would the 80W/100W overwhelm the system and melt the wires? Could you Private message me the HID's you use as you mention in your other post? AZ law says it cannot project more than 70 feet. Mine are only going about 30 feet. I cannot imagine how increasing from...
