I got the brake lights at Walmart of all places. All the prices are what I paid in US dollars. So even less in Canadian Sent from my GT-S5830D

Nothing was ordered. I was in South Carolina all week for work.
The lights were bought at Walmart.

Put in the new blower motor resistor. I was going to add a few relays but there were absolutely no signs of melted wires and/or plugs at the resistor or at the dash switch. Here's a pic of the one I replaced:

The flash makes the rust look like pizza sauce!
"well there's your problem! your resistor is covered in pizza sauce!"
Do you have a water leak running down behind your dash? is your floor wet under the passengers feet after it rains? Just wondering how it got rusty like that.
Mine's gone for the second time as well. Gotta have tiny fingers to change it, eh?

I haven't seen any water on the floor even after the Jeep has been parked over night in heavy rain. I did however, run down a pizza delivery guy when I first got the Jeep Those pizza boxes must have went 20 feet in the air

lol!
I guess if the blower fan itself is pulling too much power due to age or whatever, it can blow that resistor too. Doesn't have to be the switch. Born to fail.

When the blower motor starts to go bad, it causes it to draw more current resulting in melted plugs and/or wires at the resistor itself and/or the fan speed switch in the dash.
Installing relays keeps the high current away from the fan speed switch in the dash.

LED tail/brake lights installed. Plate moved down to make room for the plate light (next week). Side marker lights in the coming weeks.

They must have changed the resistors in 03 along with a few other things? I changed mine out this weekend and it looked like this:

Yes, the blower motor resistor changed around that time.

My wife got into a fender bender earlier in the week. No one was hurt and minimal damage to either vehicle. Here's a pic of the Jeep damage: Here's what was removed from the Jeep: I was able to save about one inch from the end of the frame. I would have liked to have more for mounting lights but oh well. I chopped it off, welded in the ends and gave it a coat of paint. Here's a few pics of the final product:
