Does someone sell a complete kit to do the Cibie JK conversion? If so, would one of you be so kind as to point me toward it?

How complex is one of these Daniel Stern lighting upgrades? We talking minutes or hours?

I just got the new PIAA H13's and the 9005's for the fogs. Had to wire in a relay for the fogs to fool the TIPM, but the headlights were plug in and go. REALLY a nice improvement over stock!

He's right, with the ready made no-splice harness, I'd say 20 minutes tops including putting the tools away. 15 minutes if you just leave them on the workbench like I usually do (what a mess!).
The biggest pain is the routing of the wires, but since they are already shielded, no need to use that convoluted tubing wire loom stuff (like I use on all the trigger wires running to the KC relays on the driving/long range lights).
And of course you need to mount the relays, I already have 2 for the KC aux lighting, and this harness will give you 2 more.
With a little attention to detail, such as mounted relays, convoluted tubing for exposed wiring on your other accessories, zip ties to secure it all, easy access to the fuses, you'll have an engine compartment that will look professional, rather than the rats nest of wiring we often see.
