My housings came today, so I installed them. What a pain in the *** getting the plugs through the tight spaces. In the end, the brightness is worth it:
Low beams:
High beams:
Side view:
Head-on view:
Inside view:
Just a heads-up, the front view isn't THAT bright. The camera lens kind of over-exaggerates. No, it doesn't blind you when you stare right at it
I think the upgrade was worth it. One problem I'm having though is that when I turn off the headlights, the HIDs stay lit until I shut the vehicle off. I may have wired something wrong, but I'll look into it tomorrow.
The kit I used was the Kensun 6000k Bi-xenon.

huh... that's kinda weird... any issues I had like that with my HID's was fixed when I installed the HD harness.
Although the issue I had was related to the sentinel system (timed-delay off) - I would shut my headlights off, then shut the jeep off and the headlights would come on... I had to flick the highbeams on (highbeams on mine are halogens - didn't know about bi-xenon's at the time) to get it to quit doing it until recently when I installed the putco harness

I have a friend of mine coming over this week to look at the turning off problem. Today I just made sure that the lights were both level.

Looks like the 6x7 projector housings that a lot of vendors sell on ebay... not really a true projector, but they serve their purpose

Right on.... hey do you have daytime running lights? I've heard of other people having problems with their HID's staying on... I would have thought that the HD harness would have fixed that though seeing as everything is running off the relays.

The HIDs didn't take any features away. I even still have brights and lows with the HIDs.
