i'm working on another set with FX-r projectors and 55w ballasts. I'll probably get it done by Friday, and will post some comparison pics. That means I can sell the current set if anyone is interested.

Great write-up! Might have to try this on mine. Would like to see pics of the FX-r projectors too if you finished them.

I haven't done much to my jeep lately. But when I saw this thread, I decided to pull the trigger. I just placed an order for my FX-R retro kit. I logged back on to add my two cents, only to realize that all of the pics from the original write-up had disappeared. There went my instructions!!! I hope my memory will serve me well...

Stock HIDs are the only thing I miss from my old Ford Focus.





I do not have the patients to mod my Jeep headlights like you did... I wish I did.

Great job man. I like how the projectors fit within the stock glass housing instead of sticking out further than stock like the HID's offered from Screaming Lizards.
