I think the light output is going to be dog****. Any "crystal-cut" or "diamond-cut" is not going to be too great. Output is going to be nice and scattered and not as bright as it can be. The green lights aren't really my thing but I can see why people would like them.

You should have asked opinions before buying them. I'm sure people have personal experience with them or something very similar

I don't really care about light out put can't be worse than factory and I have driving lights that I mostly use around the country side I drive in

If your Jeep is dark green or black, they might look good... If not, I don't know.

As far as light goes, it'll be better than stock, I'm sure... But how much does that really say? =P

Post lots of pictures after the installation.

Putting those in before a new headlight harness is a bad idea. Increases your chances of burning out a headlight switch tremendously

Not my cup of tea, but if your into that kinda thing I guess they are cool.

Me personally I could find something better to spend $100 on on my Jeep
