X3 on the Trucklites, make a huge difference. Only thing I've noticed is that if you put ur jeep in drive, without turning the lights on they flash or flicker quickly. while in park they do not. I assume it is designed to tell u that only ur daytime lights are on

Waiting on my Evo II's to arrive...they are currently on a FedEx truck in Idaho. My JW Speaker fogs are on the UPS truck (big one) in my hometown, but sadly they wont be put on the Brown Truck until Friday.


Patience is a virtue. !!

Finally got my JW speakers installed after the PWM harnesses arrived. Not sure why my CanBUS is so dumb, but when I first turned them on, the low beams worked, but not the passenger high beam. Then restarted it, and both high beams work, but turning them off shut off my low beams. Not sure if it will settle down eventually, because it's kind of annoying to intermittently not have a light work because the computer doesn't want it to.
Huge difference though, as can be seen in the before and after pics from the driver's seat. I did have to aim them down quite a bit after putting the new ones in.

Flicker, with the lights turned off ? That's unreasonable.
Sounds like a faulty connection/short.

You use your headlights nearly every day. They plug right in and give you a significant benefit while driving.
Pillar lights, LED lightbars, etc, aren't used as often.

I just installed the Truck Lites with anti flicker harness (Northridge4x4 deal). They are so much better than stock. Great upgrade and 15 minutes to install. Very satisfied

If anyone is still reading this thread...
Just installed my TLs I picked up from Northridge with that awesome price they had on them. Couldn't be happier, and I can't believe I put off upgrading my headlights for so long. You really don't know what you're missing until you do the swap. Pic attached from my drivers seat of my "results".

Anyone have any insights as to the next version of these lights (ones that are suppose to heat up to melt the snow?) I.e. how soon until they come out, any other upgrades besides the heating up, & any idea of how much more $ they will be?

I like what I see from these, but may be willing to wait for the heated version.....deep freeze here in Chicago right now. Getting my 2015 jku Sahara next week!
