They are aftermarket intended for late model jeep.  I can get you the name if you want.

I have a brand new sunroof I bought that I won't use.  It has a frame and everything needed.   Let me know if you'd be interested.  Username at yahoo

Maybe- are they particularly cheap or easy to work with? Like do they have internal ballasts or heat sinks? I'm looking for some great "general" ones for my future rodding-out projects.

Here are a couple of photos.  I have not used them yet, but they seem simple.  I do not plan to use the module for the multicolor running lights

Would it be all right if I post this other places? if that's okay, would you like some sort of an artist credit given? Thanks

Thanks!! Nice job, that was quick! I see you even incorporated my "yet to be installed" flat glass windshield.  Now I know it will look right! 

I really appreciate it!

I've been following your channel, you have a great eye for this Ben. At the beginning of the video I thought "no way" - boy, was I wrong. It's looking great!

Thanks! I have to admit there were a few moments of panic along the way but I think it will look just fine when done. The safari glass is one of my favorite features on my VW Bus. Can't wait to finish this up!

Safari temporary in place and open.  The roof panel helps a lot with blending things together.

One side mostly done.  Still need to trim and smooth the sharp angle at the lower corner of the windshield frame.

I am reshaping the front door window frames to run parallel to the roof line and now slimmer A pillar. Only the right hand side done so far.

The exterior sheet metal work is done on the Safari windshield. Still have to finish the door jambs and door window frames.
