Installed a set about 2 weeks ago and the difference in light when driving is quite dramatic.
There has been a lot of talk about them on the Wrangler Forum... and numerous members have installed them.

I contacted them the other day concerning stray RF from lights getting into my UHF ham radios receive. I was expecting have to wait several days for a response, but received a call from tech support within 10 minutes. I explained to the tech all that I had done to filter the noise out and had determined that the noise was RF comings in thru the electrical system and installing several types of noise filters had little to no results. They offered to send me out a new harness they were working on that may remove the noise.
So far my interaction with them has been good.

That's very true....

It points at 10 o'clock and 4 o'clock and not 12 and 6 like it should be.
In order to make them work correctly you have to do some modding which is questionable at best, otherwise the light goes towards the oncoming traffic side of the street.
The another problem is that the rubber ring on the housing is to small causing moisture to get into the housing of your light.
If you go through water or even a car wash you can end up with a problem.
Also high beams do light up but they only light up the ground directly in front of you, they do not improve visibility.
And yes, if you use a cb these can cause a lot of noise, there are others out there trying to mod them for that....
The light without modification will be hot directly ahead but haze way over to the left
Zip tie mod to correct the position of the led to 12 and 6
What they look like in the incorrect position
Moisture in the housing after going through the car wash... The o-ring needs to be bigger and can be purchased at auto retailers...
Actual light
Box shot
just a note, I bought mine directly from china, lifetime led is just relabeling as he stated in a email to a member @ the other forum.
These are only made by one factory and 4 places are reselling them to retailers.
these are the same exact thing as lifetime and currently in the same box.
Bottom line - the low beam is great - GREAT
High beam is not there
A lot of modding needs to take place to make it acceptable for jeeps.
I am keeping them in but waiting for a corrected version.

Lifetime LED is located here in TN, when I called up Aurora Lighting about purchasing lights they informed me that he is there TN distributor and that's how I found out about Lifetime LED. He also sells and has displays setup at the Rock Bouncer events all around here and most of the buggies run his lights. As above someone stated about the LED Headlights not turned properly in the jeeps housing. I know personally Olympus offroad has addressed this issue because they fixed a buddys as well as a local club guy here is selling lights and had his manufacture rotate them during assembly to fix it. He can be found on facebook under High Beam Lighting or message him directly @ highbeamlighting@gmail.com

These are High Beam Lighting's. Like others have said, the hi beam is a mirrored lo beam, so doesn't add distance but still doesn't blind people. Stock headlights blind people bc they are pointed DIRECTLY AT ONCOMING CARS. It's ridiculous! Stupid Chrysler.....
