Let’s face it, old jeeps are just plain cool. Like any vehicle that has years of use on it, things get old and technology that once was state of the art becomes a relic of a bygone era. Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of vintage stuff but, every once in a while something comes along that transforms the way that you see things.
When Pete from JP Magazine contacted us about doing a HID kit in his Jeep Jeepster to replace his original headlights, we jumped at the chance. Pete is a complete Jeep addict with something like twelve or thirteen Jeeps. He uses his Jeeps the way that they were meant to be used… hard. He wanted bright lights but he also wanted to keep the original look.
Headlights on classic vehicles are anemic at best. Sure, it is a step up from a whale oil lantern but not much of a step up. I knew from my own classic cars over the years that Pete was in for a treat. Moab is going to be fun this year…
