Yes, I have a 2011. Rotating it 45 degrees will not affect its operation.

Thank you in advance for your help.
I PMed you details. But you need a harness to bypass the Jeeps Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).

I think Rebel Offroad has them, and I hear the price is about the best you can find online...

I'm getting these very soon myself.

The headlights or the harness? Rebel offroad is a vendor here that sells the headlights. They can be had about 100 dollars cheaper though if you look around.

Headlight harness can be found at Susquenna Motorsport, Daniel stern lighting, 12 volt guy, or ebay.

Every set of JW Speaker and Truck-Lite we sell comes with appropriate harnesses making them plug and play.

Both are in stock and ready to ship.

(Plug and play referring to the wiring, on the JW their is trimming required in some Jeep model bezels as mentioned in this thread.)

Technically they are not plug and play since you have to trim the bezel, rotate the airbag sensor, and intall a relay harness. But still very very easy.

Is the harness you sell a true headlight harness with 2 relays (low beam, high beam) or is it just a H4 to H13 pigtail? Sorry but I couldnt find the info on your website.

This is the a proper harness required for LED headlamp operation.




A H13 to H4 adapter will essentially do nothing for you.

I read on another post that you could use an additional headlight ring and avoid the cutting / trimming. I tried to get a p/n for this headlight ring - any one know?

Thank you,

Alex

The bucket design for the 2011 and 2012 is the same. The additional ring wasnt to avoid cutting but because the 2012 engine bay was slightly more cramped.

Really trimming the headlight ring is really easy with a dremel, takes about 30 minutes.
