I had the rectangle ones from Walmart. Complete garbage. I used the stock fog light switch and cut off the pigtail connector to wire them up. I wish I had never wasted time or money on these. The nuts kept loosening and eventually the light fell off on a trail.

how about light output? i picked up lock nuts for them on my way home so i dont think they will be falling off anytime soon lol

I bought the rectangle ones too WASTE OF MONEY. 55 watts suck, matches or a lighter would work better. However, they do make better back up lamps than factory ones lol

Output was bad. Less light than the stock fog lights. It was an impulse buy...

I buy the Baja rectangle ones and modify them. They're like 25 bucks. I rewire the housings with better wire, put 130watt bulbs in, and replace the screws in front with stainless ones. After that they provide really nice light ad since they're cheap I never worry about breaking them.

what do you use for wiring? 10awg?

just ordered some 100w h3 bulbs to replace the 55w ones that come with it ( not really into the idea of 130w lights accidentally coming on while driving down the road and causing an accident) i have PLENTY of wire around from my airsoft building days. guess il install the lights tomorrow and run some lines and just swap out bulbs when they get here tuesday

14 gauge should be ample for re-wiring the lights themselves. To feed the two I ran a 10 gauge off a relay. The factory wiring in the walmart lights is pretty cheap.

iv heard HID conversion kits and new bulbs can work wonders on crap lights

My friend Josh did the same thing with his 92 XJ , He had the same results not to mention they are not really that bright

I bought a set of these for $10 brand new at a garage sale. I'm gonna throw them on my 90 wagoneer next time I'm home (maybe end of May) I'll let you guys know how it goes.
