Better luck posting in the open forum, not under "what DID you do". Its not the what are you thinking of doing, and advice on lights section. With that said, you get what you pay for. Don't expect them, at that cost, to perform anywhere near what you expect. At that cost, just buy the damn things and see for yourself.

I have a good friend who owns a custom mobile lighting business, and I will be getting my jeep sponsored, if you want to call it that, by him. Should turn out badass when done. If ya want to get it done right, he is the guy to go to. He does all hid upgrades, interior, exterior lighting, all built to custom style/order.

Swapped 6.5 inch leaf springs for 3.5inch lift springs. Sitting perfectly at 6.5-7 inches all around now.

Don't do it. Your dome light is brighter. Go on Walmart.com and pick up some blazer off road lights. $10 each shipped and they're just as bright as kc day lighters

Installed my rear JCR Crusader bumper. All fit well and went on easily. Only problem was that the hole in the built in hitch receiver seems to be a little off and I couldn't get the hitch pin through it.

ditched the mini 2nd battery in favor of another full size interstate. when I went to the junkyard to get the tray, I found a nice 97+ front end and grabbed it. she'll sit in storage until I feel like ordering my commander lights.
grabbed a shifter console as well.. been looking for one for months now, as 99% of xjs out there run full center consoles.
