Hey all,
Just wanting some insight on potentially swapping my bullbar indicators/parkers for LED items. My current ones are looking dull, cracked and worse for wear from the sun and weather. I was wondering if LED versions are as simple as unscrewing the old ones, and fitting the new ones. Has anyone had any good and/or bad experiences, and can off me any advice or suggestions to a specific brand/product. All feedback appreciated. Thank you.

I know lucus30 installed some LED lights in his bull bar, pretty sure they were done from scratch as well cause he didn't even have the standard ones.

Hopefully he'll see this or someone else and point you in the right direction

ARB sells LED ones for their bullbars. Perfect fit. They are around $70ish from memory.

Yes they are the same ones mine came out of a TJM box, not sure on the part number.
very easy to fit they just click in place, solder and shrink sleeve all wires.

Seems more worth while installing these instead of just changing the lenses on my current ones. Just gotta get hold of a soldering iron and some experience lol

Fully waterproof to boot whats not to like ,plus you'll also need to either fit a designated LED flasher relay
or you can solder 50 ohm resistor in line to stop the "fast flash" effect.
Forgot to mention this before its an added cost but not much relays are less than $20

Pop over if you get stuck more than happy to lend a hand, lol

I haven't changed my flasher because I've still got incandescent indicators in the circuit but yes if you go all LED's you will need to replace flasher can or use resistors

No my headlights are 100 watt HID which in hindsight was a
poor choice, great light but way too hot for the plastic reflectors
No sure LED are there yet to replace hi-low beam.
