Anybody tried these lights http://www.ebay.com/itm/4x6-AMBER-LED-HALO-PROJECTOR-HALOGEN-HEADLIGHT-HEADLAMP-BULBS-CRYSTAL-CLEAR-SET-/330945918261 would be interesting to wire the Halos to the turn signals.

I haven't tried these but you're right, would be interesting to wire the amber halos to the turn signals.  I've got my eye on a couple other things from this seller, if you buy these can you let me know about the quality and service?  Thanks.

On my big Eagle that I sold, the headlights had the halos but they weren't hooked up. I was cleaning up some wiring one day and decided to see what they would look like. Some of the LED's in a couple of them wouldn't come on. I did a search of the net and found out it is a common problem with the import headlights with the LED halos/angeleyes burning out prematurely.

The new headlights I bought have a blue LED bulbs in them too. Eventually I'll put them in with a brightener harness.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

I upgraded to an H4 (non-halo) set up from eBay almost 3 years ago, and they have been the biggest improvement I've made to my Eagle.
Be sure to get the glass lens ones so that you don't have to worry about them yellowing down the road.
Having the amber halos would look awesome if wired up to the turn signals.
