Default Truck-Lite Installation

Been looking around and I can't find a written installation instruction. Anyways, I'm about to get a set and I'm wondering if I have what I need to install them. I have a nice set of ratchets and sockets and a set of basic tools (screwdrivers, hammer, pliers, etc.) Also how long did it take all of you to install, and how hard will it be if I don't have a ton of experience but I am mechanically inclined?

It's easy pop out the 6 push pins on the grill pull the grill and disconnect the turn signals to get it out if the way( slide the red tabs back to unlock turnsignal connectors. Remove 4 screws per headlight ring and that's it. Also the ring is a little loose on the truck lights so I wrapped 2 rounds of electrical taper around the edge of my TL to make it a snug fit. And put back together. I found the best hight to adjust mine was have the jeep 25feet from a wall and adjust them up to 3.5 feet high

takes all of 10 minutes. You will need a torx screw driver size 15 IIRC. di-electric grease for the connections and that is it. nothing else needed. If you can tie your shoe lace you can swap head lights. the TL are my best improvement to date.

It is a real simple install. It took me about 30 minutes and I had a lot of snow on the grill area.
Use this as a guide.

Also when you plug in your truck lights to the adapter to make sure your pins don't push out because it's such a tight connection mine pushed out a bit and had to push it back it
