No kidding - I couldn't resist at that price. I checked it a couple times, and verified the model number to make sure i was getting what I thought I was. Fedex dropped them at my house the next day.
Converted my low beams and the little parking lights in the headlights to LEDS. Also did the reverse lights. Went with the Hikari low beams. Overall, I’m pleased with the output. I feel like they could have a little more distance to them. Probably going to order the high beams now.
Are the lights hardwired to the truck or battery powered? If hardwired what did you tap into?
Would appreciate your opinions on what my tires could worth if listed on craigslist. I want to go with Nitto 285/17's on my newly purchased and repainted RW's. The 5 tires I would like to sell are BFG AT KO 275/70/18 E rated, only 5,000 miles and look perfect. I know I'm going to take a bath on these but the RW's sitting in the garage are torturing me LOL. Thanks.
That is Nantucket Sound, but the western edge — Chappaquiddick Island. We were on East Beach on Cape Poge. We’ve been coming here for about 16 years.

Got my ARB recovery points and ARB recovery kit in this weekend. John Love from Metal Tech 4x4 even through in a complementary MT pint glass. Now I just gotta go get this thing stuck somewhere!
Which LED's did you use in the reverse lights?
I used the following from O’Reilly’s: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...evo-led-mini-bulb-pack-of-2/921ledbp2/4743398
I installed Auxito reverse lights in my ‘16 200 about 2 months ago, and they are absolutely phenomenal - brighter than other brands I’ve tried such as Sylvania and Philips. Shockingly bright and clear, and a pure white color. They’re almost like headlights for the rear. That combined with their 168 LED replacement bulbs for the license plate lights (comes in a cheap 10 pack that is very likely compatible with other cars you may have) is a great and affordable touch to add crisp, bright, modern white lighting to the rear of your LC.
I’ve pretty much swapped every halogen bulb out for LEDs in every car in the garage, and it makes you never want to go back. It’s a nice, modernizing change at night, and honestly makes you wonder why 200’s which have LED headlights have these dim, off white halogen bulbs elsewhere.

Upgrades are coming.
Got my truck back from BudBuilt today. New auxiliary fuel tank from LRA, kaymar rear bumper, tjm snorkel, and aluminum skids. Awesome work and great team to work with. Highly recommend all of the products. @wardharris @Taco2Cruiser

Nice!
Q for you since I’ve seen very few half drawers with a side kit,..
-Have you figured out whether the left-side of the fit-kit will still work at that lower drawer level?
Thanks.
My setup is a Roller Floor on the left and a Roller Floor/Roller Drawer on the right. I SWEAR I’ve seen photos of the Side Kit installed with the Roller Floor, but ARB tech support says no, it won’t work unless you DIY it. Very disappointed as I wanted a finished look on both sides. ARB does sell a Carpet Kit (just a roll of their carpet) that can be used to finish off the exposed bare metal. I’ll get to that in a couple of weeks.
ARB also makes a mid-height Roller Floor/Roller Drawer which IS compatible with the Side Kit (I had to educate their tech about the product as he was unaware). I would have gone that route if I had known the side kit wouldn’t work as built.
I’ll probably try to get creative with the extra carpet on the driver’s side to make it look more finished.
Curious what you're gonna do about a spare tire?
Not true. I am in Oz and have the required components to mount the side kit for the Roller Floor ordered with ARB. It has arrived in store but I have not had time to collect.
Will post images when I receive and have installed (with part numbers).
