Default KC Hilites Headlight Conversion

Apologies if this horse has been beaten to death, but I was wondering if anyone has tried to install these: http://www.kchilites.com/lights/headlights

I saw a TJ with these on the trail and was very impressed with their performance. The beam patern is very crisp and was just the right color temp. The description says that they might work with other modifications. I want to know if the wiring is the issue or if the mods to the factory bucket make this a useless investment.

THANKS

Sorry nobody has responded to this. Honestly I didn't even realize that KC made a headlight for the JK. I knew they did for the TJ though. KC makes a good product, so I'm sure you can't go wrong with it. Anything is better than the stock headlights. I say take one for the team and try out a set and give them a review

Haha, thats just the problem. They're made exclusively for the tj. I already ordered some and am going to give it a shot though! Wish me luck.

Q, what did you pay for the KC's?
I agree with the harness. Give it a shot

I keep waiting to see if they are going to make them for the JK. They look good. Looking forward to some pics.

Funny thing, I took the time to call the company themselves today to ask if it could be done. The only thing the rep could say was to call quadratec. I don't know why he singled out quadratec.
