replace the bulbs with blue LED bulbs. I'd suggest another color for night vision though. Red is a good color. I've had the stock color, blue and lime green in mine personally. Blue got old quick and is over rated. If you do the gauges I would suggest doing the rest of the dash also.

Only one arrived. I called customer service to complain and the woman I spoke to Sarah said there should've been two. It took a little while but Today I got the second one.

Yes these sumbeeches are expensive... But I can attest to the awesomeness of Trucklites.



Installed by the PO, and now that I've got em, I'll never run an XJ without em again. They look amazing, and most important, I can SEE at night. I mean, like new car visibility.

See damn near to the horizon, I can see the guardrails next to me. Clean blueish light. And despite the odd-for-Texas torrential rains lately(and me gleefully aiming for every slophole), not a hint of moisture or fogging.

I love my trucklites too. On low beam they light up corner street signs 1/4 mile away have great side to side coverage and don't blind opposing traffic.

gladly pay the extra and get trucklite headlights because those (in my opinion) are ugly and they are very blinding to oncoming traffic. Also, they are not dot approved.

Same style I have. They are NOT DOT like they say. There is no stamp on them anywhere. If you live in a state that doesn't have inspections, no biggie but if you do, go look at the set on XJwonders MJ, those are DOT and only 140 a pair.
