Looks like I can get the truck lites for about $440, any input on some of the "flickering" I am reading about? I have a 2009 Sahara. I also heard it effects different model years differently?

It's really very faint, nothing really.

They flicker because of the can bus system in the jeeps. I had hid in my jeep with are affected the same way, took it all back out because it was so annoying. The wiring harness is from Susquehanna motorsports. They do not have it listed, but have said they have them.

Plus if you live in an area with sloppy snow, do not get led headlights. They do not heat up causing the snow to build up and block lighting.

Kojack what are you using now since you pulled it all out. I never though trying to upgrade headlights could get so complex!

It's really not that bad. I may or may not get a new harness.
I wouldn't even call it a problem.

I love my Truck-Lites as well.

I agree the flicker is not that bad but we do have a harness available that fixes that.

We have a ton of Trucklights in stock in both locations and can ship the same day and will get you the best deal
