Default Round headlights.

I got bored and didnt really like my blacked out square headlights. I had a problem with my fog/driving lights and was stuck to depends on my blacked out headlights and had little to no light on the road at night. After fixing a minor wiring problem from the trails, i decided to make something different in terms of headlights.

Living in Las Vegas, Nevada; I have never had a problem with driving around town with my 4 front fog/driving lights. 2 100W lights in the center with 2 55W lights on each end. I will use the factory headlights from time to time, but generally i dont use them.

Any input would be great !

PS I still need to put an amber lens over the bulbs for the signals, i just havent found what i wanted yet.

Ive always liked these ones. Fabing something to go around them would really complete the look.

Unique.... Aughta look pretty neat once it's finished. Nobody would ever guess what was rolling at them at night with those lights on it.

I was actually thinking of doing something different with my headlights also. I had been kicking around this idea for awhile also. Looks good.

Driving lights aren't good for oncoming traffic. They're like high beams.

You should use JK headlights, or Hella/IPF e-code conversions. The JK ones have a cool aerodynamic dome shape
