I like how small they are. Hopefully I can get them on tonight.
that's too funny. one does have to wonder 
yes, and in all fairness, all the wires that come with it do come with ring terminals too, they're just too small to be used on the existing studs on the JK.

Thanks WOL! I love this forum! I'm totally doing this over the weekend. Gonna get 3 pairs I think... Front, middle, & rear. Ya think that's enough rock light?? LOL
Might be cool if I can somehow tap the switch into the factory wiring so they come on when I use my key remote to unlock the doors.

I used the same lights on mine, but beware, they only last about 6 months to a year as the rubber seal will crack and moisture gets in there really easy and corrodes the contacts. I have 3 sets on mine and all have stopped working, even through the wires are fine and bulbs not burned out.

on moby dick, i used a 12V/40A relay and installed it under the hood near the battery. you will need to get a matching plug for it as well.
each pair of lights come with switches and you should NOT combine the 2 pair (4 lights total) on to one switch UNLESS you use a relay and heavy guage wire.

Been talking w/ WOL about these for a while, I saw them using these on one of there night runs. I have been waiting to d othese for a while. Now that I'm about ready to install my IPF, I will add this to the list. May as well do all the lighting work at one time. Thanks Eddie for the awesome write-up.....you have to love this Forum!!!!!!!!!!

Installed super easy. Are there two different versions of these lights? 35w and 55w? Mine are 55w? Is it okay to not use a relay since I'm only doing the front for now? I heard the draw of these together was around 9 amps.
