A pic of the cut off pattern against the wall would a nice selling point, just saying 
would be nice if Truck-Lite made a fog light to replace the factory POS fog light, just saying
and whats this that i hear you guys at Truck-Lite are making or have made rock light? If you did you might want to post some info on that product, inquiring minds want to know!

Hello all,
We haven't had any flickering issues on our JK installation with the new lamps during testing. We've heard of a couple instances of that with the previous generation, but it has had to do with pulse width modulation issues more than anything.
Even so, we're looking into modules and wiring recommendations for those cases, and we're always available to help if anyone has any wiring issues/questions.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Jerry Lee

If you install a proper relay harness you will:
1. Eliminate flicker caused by PWM. Capacitors can help the situation (ie Canbus cancellers) but they are really just a bandaid. Do it once, do it right.
2. They will be brighter. I measured the signal on my 2011 JK and the voltage ranged from 4.8v to 12.4v. Where the voltage measured from my rally lights harness was a constant 13.1v.
3. It can help extend the life of your investment. (No actual testing has been done to determine the effects of PWM on LED lights, but manufacturers have suggested using a constant voltage source when possible)

It can easily be claimed because it has zero to do with the headlamp and everything to do with Jeep's PWM. It doesnt matter how amazing of a product Trucklite produces if you are supplying it with a poor voltage signal. Similar to putting crappy gas in a racecar, it will run just not at it's full potential.

Trucklight will be making a harness to connect to the lights, to stop the flicker. I have the lights and the harness these lights are great.
