Yeah I am. They are rated for 9-36v. I'm assuming that means the drop in voltage doesn't really effect these lights. But I'm no electrician. I was considering the harness upgrade from putco, I had it on my last jeep and the upgrade to the stock headlights was significant. And I don't have factory fogs on this one so it wouldn't effect anything... Anyone know more about LEDs and a reason to get the harness with them?

I've had mine for a while now and there is no glare for oncoming traffic. They work perfectly and draw a fraction of the voltage as halogens. The harness upgrade will do absolutely nothing for these lights.

Trucklite emailed me back. The RH stands for right hand side traffic. So it is the right model number.

And the cutoff is amazing while driving. I plan on testing it out sometime for oncoming traffic. But for cars in front of me, I can see the line clearly on their vehicles, and it's always below their windshield.

Again, the one I bought is for right hand TRAFFIC. Just for anyone who wants to get a set.

I really like these. Very clean way to add DRL's.

I've had my wife drive in front of me and toward me in her vehicle on several occasions, in different places, and in different weather conditions. She says they don't blind her in any circumstance.

Also, no one has flashed me.
