Congrats....I am sure you will like the results!

Two tips.....1) test everything (high and low beams) before you put it back together.....and that means with the engine on. The pulse modulation is only on when the engine is running.....this can save you some aggravation. 2) Run the longer lead (drivers side) along the firewall instead of behind the radiator. Less heat and plenty of length on that lead for that routing.

Mine totaled $215, for having the light on the road I think it was worth the price. Oddly enough my harness looks a bit different then the one Clump posted.

I just received mine today. Given your pics I can not wait to install! I am off Thur & Fri so I plan to install and have front windows tinted (with SunGuard film) to match rear tint.

Would you mind taking a few pics under the hood, post install? I like the suggestion of running the longer lead along the firewall. I am looking for the cleanest route to install. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

jb88 thanks for the pics. Those really do look like they make a difference. I think I will go this route as well. I am having a hard time finding Cibies.

Love my Cibies and got them online from a place in Atlanta called Coventry West. Sent you a PM as well.

I ran mine along the factory ones. Just have the relays laying next to the battery, don't know where to mount them. I have some of that flexible tubing like what the factory ones have on that will be going on soon.

Just finished it up. I don't know if it's just mine, but the factory plug in to the new harness is a bit sensitive. Bend it one way and it wont work, bend it the other way and it works, so if it's not working for you should check that connection first.

Installed mine last night and I'm very pleased with it. Went for a ride after dark and the difference is DRAMATIC.

Thanks for the pics JB88. I plan to make the switch either today or tomorrow, depending on when I get the Jeep back from window tinting.
