regardless of the fact that you like them, anyone in oncoming traffic is now going to be blinded and hate you so just prepare yourself for that.

Not if they're aimed and set up correctly.

Ya bright blue or purple lights **** drivers off alot and i wouldent wanna be the guy slamming into the car in front of me because he jammed on his brakes out of anger.

Next thing you know you will be dealing with a tire iron to the head.

Ive found if you do not live in the city atleast and use those rediculous blinding lights your asking for trouble. Sure factory headlights might suck but you can still find a decent replacement that works better and wont **** off other drivers.

I like the led but I'm not a fan of the angel eyes on a cherocar... The truck lite LEDs are what I would go with.. If i had a small fortune. Lol

Not really my style, especially at $200. But I also don't really get the LED light strip fad that seems to be going through all the car companies. I like my stock-looking Autopal housings with the heavy-duty harness upgrade. And that only cost me about $70 including shipping.

I've actually seen these just recently on ebay for $175 with free shipping and they are different....I believe that they are a fixed design...no adjustment....here is the link...http://www.ebay.com/itm/271152238828...38.l2649.....I have to admit that I do like them and they are plug & play no special harness needed ...you just have to hard wire the led's to the marker lights...

As of yet I have not had any issues with blinding oncoming traffic. I set them up and angled them so that would not happen. It is nice to have a wide angle of light in front of me now. I will be changing out the bulbs to the 110 watt PIAA bulbs in a few months, after the cost wears off.

I was just looking at these things the other day. Different for sure. Initial reaction was I didnt like them, then I did a ninetuple-take and they aren't bad. Might match up alright on an all-black XJ. Couldnt find any pictures of them on an XJ. Thanks for uploading them!

Looks like this --

Ya damn right!

There several things I could have spent 2 bills on.

^^^^^^^
this

$200 gets me a ZJ rear disc brake conversion from Big Dave(cuz Im too LAZY to go get it myself), a fill up @ the pump ($45), and still have enough for a 6' toasted spicy italian combo from Subways w/3 cookies!

Oh wait a sec, that would have cost me $202.39 my bad
