i dont have any pics but light out put was no better then sliverstar ultra bulbs in fog lights, no improvement in h13 bulbs, they are over priced, me 3 weeks to get a hold of someone who could actually help me with returns, they never called me back or got anything worked out, the 3000k was green instead of yellow, and just it was a bad experence

It is well known that the reflector is the problem with the JK headlights, not the bulbs. Also with any aftermarket system you will either get flickering, or hear the relay buzzing. You will need to wire in a capacitor to be able to handle the PWM electrical system to smooth out the current. On the JK it sends many signals a second to the headlight to tell it to turn on, compared to non-PWM vechicles where there is a constant signal. What this is doing is causing your relay to energize and deenergize constantly.

I am not sticking up for a company with bad service, but there are several things that are unique to the JK that many of these companies do not address.

55 watt hids should look more washed out. Get the other piece to fix your headlights with the capacitor. Once you get that make sure they are pointed and you will be good to go.
