So my tail lights stopped working a while ago and fixing them turned into replacing the all the wiring in the CJ3a�
The old wires were almost all corroded wel into the insulation, ground was weak and at other locations they were almost gone entirely, touching them and the insulation crumbled.�
While working on replacing all the wiring i also started thinking about what i could do about getting a bit more visibility at night, 6 volt is just bad to be honoust in modern day traffick. So after some research i ended up looking at 6 volt LED's for mopeds and motorcycles. After some more research i found a supllier that also had LED's H4 bulbs, combined turn and stoplight LED's and after gathering some more information i decided to switch all lights to LED's. It was well worth the effort not in the least because it turned out it was all (99%) plug and play. Only thing i needed was 2 new H4 headlights to replace the sealed beam units and decide where to drill 6 small holes to mount the cooling blocks that are needed for the H4 LED bulbs.
Some of the old junk
Turn signal (top) and brake/drivelight
here is where i mounted the cooling blocks needed for the H4 LED headlights, they come with plug and play connectors to accepts the standard 3 pin headlight connectors.

They really are very nice and bright, still need to adjust them properly but well worth the investment. High and low beam
Nice and white :-)
and while waiting for parts i refurbished the steeringwheel by wrapping it with paracord
