Default Best $200 I have spent on my XJ

So I bought an XJ a few weeks ago. Though my Jeep is not stock I wanted to show all of you in the OEM threads my new headlights. My biggest complaint about the XJ was the crappy head lights. I read a few posts where people purchased the Putco wiring harness and it made a big difference so I went and bought it. It definately made a difference but still had poor visibility. I read more threads where people replaced the OEM headlights with upgraded replacements. If I was going to get new lights I wanted to get something that not only worked well but looked bad a$$. So I went on the hunt for LED lights. What I found is Spec D Tuning's headlights. I got them from Amazon for $209 + Sipping. Very easy to install, look great and make visibility issues a thing of the past.

They are definitely different but those lights look like should be on a honda civic or something comparably lame. IMO, you should have saved an extra 200 and got the truck-lite led's. But then again, my opinion means *****, so if you like them who cares what I or anyone thinks.

I think they look pretty cool. Not sure I'd put them on mine though but to each his own. Definitely makes it look more modern.

So OP did you hook them up to the putco harness or are these hooked straight into the OEM wiring?

Default Different is good

Thank you for all the feedback. I wanted to get something that I have not seen before so that I could test something out and put the review up so others could either learn from my mistake or see something new.

I like that a lot of you dislike them. It confirms that I will be unique and different from the rest. I don't want mine to look like every other Cherokee on the trail.

I will put a pic of the driver seat view up tonight.
