you bought some ****ty ebay lenses. buy a real housing... cibie, hella, IPF, etc. upgrade your harness and run quality bulbs. i run hella DOT glass housings, an upgraded harness, and osram 80/90s i think. theyre brighter than a set of 55w driving lights.

I picked up these Autopals, they work great. Very nice beam pattern and super bright. Also make sure you get a harness as well.

I went from looking like i had two candles in front of the Jeep, to super clear clean white light. Its nice to be able to see at night....hahaha
