I actually re-installed them three times as they kept jiggling around inside the bucket no matter how tightly I put on the retaining ring. In the end, I ended up taping a small piece of plastic to the outside tab on each light and that kept them from moving around.

The sun is infact not yellow, the sun emits a lot of white light. But when you look at it there is a yellow haze around it due to a number of things. Predominently I would put this down to refraction in the atmosphere.
If you look at the sun when it is at its highest in the sky it should appear to be white. At dusk the sun appears yellow to orange due to refraction in the atmosphere.
Think about what you need for fog lights, or that matter any forward facing lamp. You need something that will allow you to see farther. WHite is considered "pure light." It's 100 percent transmission. If you place any color over that same white bulb, you have now decreased the amount of light being transmitted.QUOTE]
Uh, no. See, the sun isn't white. It is yellow. Evolutionarily we have better yellow vision at night than white. Yellow does create more glare.
If yellow wasn't better, night racing cars wouldn't use it.

My kit arrived a week ago but had to wait for my '09 JK to come back from the mod shop before I could do the swap. Was very excited, got the first stock lamp off and...wait a second...my harness is H4 and I have a "running" light also in my stock headlamp just under the main bulb. Strange me thinks but must be due to my JK being an overseas model...
Time to do some extra work me thinks. :P
