    Default Headlight Conversion

    I know I will probably make some eyes roll and heads shake on this but here goes...

    Has anyone tried swapping in some LED headlights or HIDs in these trucks. I was looking at JK headlights and it looks to be a 7" round light. Has anyone tried running an aftermarket JK headlight in these trucks?

    Now there is a comparison article that 'bars no holds'. Have been interested in scrapping the H-4s on my motorcycles and this article has given me the information all other sources have not. Thanks for posting it!

    I was just looking at these (I'm 12v):
    http://www.amazon.com/HELLA-00239503.../dp/B001G76Q2W


    $70/pair is hard to beat! Probably not up to Doc's standards, but not $500 either.

    Where did you get your 24v stuff, Brute?
