Takes care of both sides.
Cruiser’s Headlight Upgrade Harness Instructions
Absolutely plug and play. Remove grille and headlamp bulbs. I fed my harnesses from the passenger side starting between the battery and the back of the headlamp housing, over to the driver side. Plug the driver side bulb into the new harness. Attach the new harness's ground wire under one of the small bolts on the radiator support after scraping the paint off under it. Attach the harness to the existing harness behind the grille working toward the passenger side. . Plug the new harness plug into passenger headlamp. Plug original headlamp plug into receptacle on new harness. Attach the ground for the passenger side just like you did the driver side under a radiator support bolt. Attach relays with provided bracket on the passenger side inner fender. Connect power wires to battery.

So this thread has been inactive long enough that I feel it would be safe to thread jack it.
I finally purchased and installed this upgrade and I can tell its definitely worth the $41 dollars I paid, however, is there anything i could have done during this install to cause my jeep to sputter and die after just driving around the block? Now I will state that I am low on gas, but I didn't think i was THAT low. Could it be that I am in fact that low or is there some sort of wire or plug or anything that I dont know about in that area that would cause these types of symptoms?

Drive to the gas station at night with your lights shining brightly and put some gas in it first.
