You need the putco headlight harness or the factory one will melt. Otherwise you install them how you would install any other sealed beam. But you put the H4 bulb in first.

There we go 
The light buckets aren't wide enough in the back so I bent the two tongues down and squeezed them in. I would suggest having a dremel with a cutoff wheel ready to just cut them off.

No, I don't lick fish.

I just replaced the idler pulley tonight. It sure is a lot quieter up there! Today I picked up a Fel-Pro VC gasket so I should have that on in the next week or so. I'm going camping tomorrow so that eats up some wrench time. I have not gotten the thrush on yet because I'm having trouble getting a hold of a sawzall...

Me and my roommate just got the thrush and 2.5" tailpipe on tonight. It sounds great and has little to no drone. It stinks though, I don't remember if the one on my old jeep stank but, I like it!
