Well I finally bit the bullet on some new headlights. Had seen Docs write up quite some time ago and these did very well. I also like the jw speaker but in the end they looked a little too radical for my jeep and I liked how you could customize these to your liking. I still have not got them aimed just perfect, but they are close enough that my lazy ass may just leave them. I had a friend help with the install so I didn't f anything up. Took us about an hour n a half. I had been using my rigid duallys in the fog position of my bumper to see the road for over a year now. The stock headlights are just terrible. I, like other people, like to change stuff up every now n then and I've been wanting a skinnier more bare bones bumper....buuuut couldn't get rid of my fogs because I couldn't see. Well, now I can see everything, without fogs on, and can do whatever I want front bumper wise from here on out. Wish I'd done this upgrade long ago. I will get video when it gets dark and I don't have family over. May try the go pro as the iPhone wouldn't focus well. Click image for larger version

What lights did you install? Tell us if they required anti flicker device to work properly.

You know crawler conceptz makes a good skinny bare bones front bumper with fogs. Best of both worlds.

I'm prepping mine right now. Cutting frame and painting bumper tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully get it in tomorrow. Will post pics up here for you. Also nice looking projectors. I have some myself and to me it's the only way to go. They can't be beat.

I too bit the bullet for some projectors. I went with the sealed7 housing and morimoto three5 ballasts and oracle plasma rings. I must say, it's the best lighting upgrade I've made.

What bulbs are you running. I have the five5s in mine and it's a good upgrade over the three5s.

Just the three5s they work great, I've had the same set in my ranger for 3 years now without an issue. So I'm sticking with them.
