I can't get 5000 in my retrofit kits. That's why I can't offer them as a standard option. I can source some for you separately but they would cost the same as if you ordered them.

So before I order... $200 shipped for a plug and play kit with black or chrome shroud? You guys arent making a whole lot off these... the mini projectors are around $50, the HID run from $30-50 or more, plus housings and labor... good deal to avoid the hassle of doing it yourself!

We know us Jeep guys are cheap! lol So we try to keep it reasonable even if that means we dont get rich. Black background (7x6) and chrome projector shroud (2.5"). Color options available, just be detailed with what you want.

Personal opinion, if you don't want your jeep to look like Halloween, don't do black with orange. Do grey, white or even blue with orange.

Keep us posted on how long it takes MIKE to get yours.....I want a set bad. Any drawbacks to running HID's when off road or on a daily driver? Also am I correct...you must upgrade your harness to a Putco(or similar) RIGHT?????

I will for sure. I don't believe that you need an upgraded harness to run a 35w ballast. Only drawback with this kit that I see is the ballast that come with it are susceptible to moisture (as are most). Depending on where you live and wheel you could have problems. I want upgrade to the Morimoto 3Five ballasts and bulbs. Watch this video and you will see why.
