I went with the autopals. They seem like good quality, they come with bulbs, and they work great. The only negative was that they were a little loose in the headlight buckets after I installed them. They rattled around a bit. I fixed this by bending the ears on the corners of the bucket a bit. Its all nice and snug fitting now.

Newbie here. Just purchased a set of rampage h4 conversion kits. I recently learned of the harness upgrade and how vital it is. Couple questions.
1. Would it hurt to put the h4's in without the heavier duty harness?
2. I definitely am going to be upgrading my harness sometime soon. What brand would you recommend?

Alright that works. Much appreciated. I made the mistake of purchasing the conversion kits and then started reading about the harness and stuff. Just a little worried, first mod I'm doing on the jeep.
