Hey Echo, The problem with adapter is small, 07-08 JKs and 09-10 headlight plug are a little different. Looks to me the plug was make for the 09-10 plug as mine snapped right in lock tight. They're going to need to have ones for 07-08 models and one 09 and on. Plus theres always issues with the first batch of a new product. But on to your questions you can use any h4 blub thats the same wattage you want, and its plug an play so theres just alittle 5 inch harness that plugs into the old h13plug (where the moding occurs not light side)with a h4 plug on the other end. So if you want to go back to stock unplug harness install h13 blub or the next great light mod.
The Lights are great compared to what they were, A very nice white light.

just installed mine.
Install was an absolute breeze. the worst part was when the OEM bumper ate my #15 torx and i spent 5 minutes trying to find it.
The lights are much flater than the convex OEM jobs.
The connectors needed trimming on my '08. I cracked one of the connectors pretty good trying to trim it. One trimmed easily, the other seemed brittle. Regardless, they plugged in after trimming and i ziptied them securely.
The brightness is a huge improvement. Honestly, I wasnt expecting this much improvement. I had been running OEM lighting w/ fogs and no aftermarket.
The light seems quite a bit blue. Maybe its just because the OEM was so yellow, hard to say. But it looks pretty darn blue now.
overall, very happy with the purchase. Would definetly buy again. But thanks to Northridge4x4. Thanks for making this happen.

Dave, did you read my concern??
I guess I may have mis understood the point of this poll . I thought we were getting peoples reactions who actually have the lights. I am very interested in what everybody thinks who is getting them.
We all know now that the harness may require a bit of modification and believe me I am not happy about that but ARB is fixing that and will be sending out new harness to people once they are available.
So if Iwas to vote on the poll about if they can improve the whole package I would say yes because of the harness snafu I would rather have them all perfect of course, If I was voting for the light performance I am very happy with that.
