Nice upgrade. Warning with those bulbs. Keep the housing clean, those bulbs like to get hot and go every 6 months or so. Ask how I know lol

I ordered the Putcos, should be here tomorrow. I was tempted to go with the Trucklite LED's but I couldn't justify $420 for headlights.

I saw them mounted up on an YJ, they're definitely brighter and look sick but I couldn't do it. Instead I bought a trackbar, the H4 kit and kept $100 in my pocket.

Lol, I'll probably wire up the harness tonight before I leave work and throw in the bulbs and housings in the morning. My GF is trying to supervise my packing. She knows if she leaves it up to me I'll pack 6 fly rods and a bathing suit
