Southeast of disorder...
My opinion: go to WalMart (or any other store of your choice) and buy some Hellas. IIRC the internals of the Renegade bumper lights ('05+ model years) are made by Hella, so why spend extra? They may not look exactly the same but when you're in the driver's seat you can't tell the difference. Only thing you need to decide is if you want fogs or driving lights. Or depending on your budget you could go with PIAA, Lightforce, or any well-known aftermarket light. Like I said, just my opinion...

Oh, and since you have an '03 mounting them is a lot easier than on the newer-style bumper ;)

Yep, I agree...go to Wal-Mart or Advance Auto Parts and get the Hella 500's for around $60. They look very similar, and probably put out more light anyway....and they're cheaper.

The newer style bumber lights on the KJ's are basically Hella 500's,same lense,same bulb,and made by Hella just like the renny light bar.

And I bet if you bought em from the dealer they'd cost about $150/set...that's what they are for the JK's, and they're identical to the one's I bought at Advance for $65. Crazy stuff....:eek:

That would be because it has the special mount and electrical pigtail connector for a direct bolt-in for the KJ that came with them.The Hella 500's are generic.

Yeah I know, but the end result is the same so why pay $100 extra for a fancy little plug? I'm sure somebody will, just not me. hah.gif
