Did the lights fit with the stock trim ring or did you need one from an 06? And if you could post the beam pattern.
I'm putting off bigger tires so I have the cash for better lights.

Cruiser, the stock ring fits. The '06 ring DOES NOT.
The beam pattern is exactly like the above link, if you scroll down.

So is this the choice for headlamp upgrade for our JK's? So if were using a relay in this setup, I'm assuming you guys spliced into the factory wire, (turn-on) So what happens to the factory headlamp harness? There should be voltage in that wire correct? Is there a fuse to remove.

If anyone is planning on doing this, could you do a write-up specifically on the harness. DS' site is great, but again, quite confusing. I either need detailed pics and directions or somebody to hold my hand while I grudge my way through it.

jpaddict, Have the dealer get you an under hood light. The harness is there, just no light. Be pushy, I have the same situation and they are getting me one. A drivers side footwell light too!
They are telling some people they don't come with it anymore. I think most of theose people don't have the harness either.
Great light mod! I may have to do that.

I have additional photos of the lights turned on, with the "city light"feature, and then two photos demonstrating the sharp optical cutoff of the Cibie light.
PM me if you can post them for me (small file size).

The old harness remains in place. Since you are building two relay circuits, you take the low beam feed off one side, and the high beam feed off of the other. There are three wires at each respective plug--High, how, and ground. I cut the low wire, and connected it to #86 on the relay circuit (low beam) feed, and the high from the other side, connected to #86 of your high beam circuit.
The stock wiring is only 20 gauge, and useless for anything other than tripping the relay.
Your light controls will function exactly as they do now, and the fogs will cut off on high beam circuit.
