Basically all I want (at this point in my life) is a couple HID driving lights and headlights, and a couple waterproof cigarette lighter sockets for cellphone, god, or ipod plug ins.'78 E "Stormbringer"

I have swapped all my rear lights to L.E.D. but retain standard bulbs (for now) in the dash lights and front directionals. I added two (2) 55w driving lights and I run with the driving lights on all the time. And so far I have had no problems at all.Just ME and my 82 XJ 1100.

I swapped my brake and tail light bulbs to LEDs a while ago. I would switch to the HID light, but my current headlight is a sealed beam, so I would need the whole housing. I\'d love to switch to LEDs on the turn signals, but I don\'t want to lose the auto-cancel... At this point, I can see the headlight dim when the signals flash.1980 XS850SG - Sold

When you talk about doing the LED upgrade, are you just talking about swapping the bulbs with LED replacements or the entire light assembly?Just ME and my 82 XJ 1100.
